> [@JVDskyline](#): > > yeah front plates are hella gay not gonna lie. But the short shifter doesn’t really change the shift knob it is a high style shift knob. And slide is a nice guy he just tells it how it is. He makes fun of my car too is all good cuz my car is just a car and its not like he is making fun of you! because everyone has there own taste so deal with criticism cuz not everyone is gonna wanna have sex with your car. And once you get suspension everything should clean up cuz its kinda monster trucked but i know how much suspension costs cuz i bought some new shit this summer. Even with suspension I cant drop my car that much due to how wide the rears are and the fenders are that wide. I am 1inch from rubbing as it is. You cant expect that much when you run 18’s. The short shifter will bring it down a bit and if it doesnt enough to my standards then I am going to get a new shift knob I bought the momo one before I had this car and it was really meant for another car. By the way I wanna have sex with my car!!! ---

i liked the shift knob. ☹ it’s a Momo anatomic. that groove fits you thumb nicely. and the classic shape helps you pull the shifter with your fingertips from 1st or 3rd. stretched sidewalls = lame. if people can’t afford the proper tires for a 18X9 inch wide wheel, they shouldn’t be buying them. i don’t think skygirl is in this category, as she probably has plenty planned for her car. anyway, nice car. ---

I don’t quite agree on the stretched sidewalls. . .Mine are gonna be pretty stretched. . .not that I can’t afford wider tires, it’s for clearance. . .17x9 front 17x10 rear. . .shit I can’t remember the tire sizes. … but they’re stretchy. . . ---

And as said by slide stretching tires saves money! So since you seem to know so much what is the proper “wheel fitment” for my car? Cause the previous owner of my rims and tires must not know either. I think this thread is going way OFF TOPIC! Maybe a new thread in the “off topic” section should be started about “wheel fitment and tire stretching”. I LOVE my car I think its nice I like the way it sits and I like the way it drives if you dont then that is fine you dont own it I do I bought it I modified it and I drive it. Please dont jack my thread. ---

Hey I got a question. How much did the vanity plate cost and how long did it take for you to get it? I’m thinking of getting one myself. Nice Skyline by the way 🙂 ---

They mail it normally and it took 3 weeks to get to me but they say 4-6 weeks. They also send you 2 one for the front and one for the back. TY ---

The guy I bought the rims from didnt know the offset and it isnt on the inside of the rims so we have no clue what they are. They dont rub AT ALL I think the 5mm spacers would have been to close to the spring for comfort. Thanks for the advice. ---

i think the wheel fitment looks good and the fender gap is fine. sure…you COULD go lower, but then you loose alot of comfort and have to swerve around every pot hole and creep up every curb ect… I think your ride hieght is practical and looks good. and without huge power you don’t need huge tires, they just look bad ass. so I think you have a nice daily drivin sports car.
