I am currently running XXR Series 527 18"x8.75" +35 wheels (Flat Black) with Dunlop Direzza DZ101 225/40R18 tires.

Hope this answers all your questions!

hey brother got another question for you, was there any stretch with the XXR wheels and 225/40r/18 tires? also was there any poke going on in the front?

Tuned the car today. Hitting 194.4 N/A on 93 octane

Yes, a little stretch, and they poke in the front about 10mm and in the rear a little as well. (I say this because I got 10mm wide Seibon front fenders and wheels are about flush now.

Coolest Firestorm I have seen - keep it up !

Your new INGS front bumper is incredible.

What site did you purchase from?

How was the fit-up and installation?

Did it come with anything to fill the grille openings?

[FRSTRM]

I actually bought it used off the FT86club classifieds, it game with mesh when I bought it there, it likely does if you buy it new. Fitment was great, no problems there.

This is one of my favorite builds on FT86Club. It just looks so good. I may or may not copy your vented hood and fenders in the future...

Very cool build - a bit of inspiration for my own Firestorm !

Quick question, how much plastidip did 4 wheels require? I've always liked the idea of grey factory wheels, and looks like someone bet me to it !

[FRSTRM]

Hey, I really can't recall - but likely 2 cans. You need to make sure you get a lot of good coats in so it's a lot more durable (and easier to get off when you decide to remove it). If you're going to do it, don't skimp. You can also do things like get glossifier and some other additives at the end. Just keep in mind if you get pearlizer or something of that effect, you want to only use a little or it will make the black much lighter.

I really have been terrible at updating this. I usually just throw up pictures on Instagram (@drift_86).

But today I'm adding 15mm spacers to get the RPF1s a bit more flush to the fenders, likely going to drop it another inch. Also installing SS brake lines and brake pads. Probably finishing up my Diode Dynamics underglow signals as well. Ahh I have LED switches to install too. So much to do......

[nzbrooke]

Cool, thanks for the tip man.

Plans for the spacers sound good to me, enjoy !
