Am I Crazy??

Now dont bust my balls just yet...I know it's a Nissan, but if you have a single creative bone in your body you can see an 86 in there?? Now imagine a similar (not identical) set of wheels and tires on one (BRZ/FRS)??



Hmmmmm...What do you think?? Crazy??

You could probably run a similar setup if you got the rocket bunny wide fenders

It's not an atypical shape. A lot of sports cars share similar lines.

I think that style of wheel and that amount of poke/stretch fits that era of cars...think it looks a little off on today's cars, personally.

I don't know how good they would look on an 86... remember those are probably 15's at best (and looks like staggered by size? larger in teh rear?)

dunno how they'd look in a larger size

Coming from an S13, that car is the sex! Hot damn I want. I no see FRS, might be my Nissan bias though.
