Awesome luke, those 14" wheels will make it quite a bit more pleasant at 100kms. There is a few guys on here run 185/55/14s and they look quite good. A good compromise between wheel/low/side wall size.

im actually just buying up sets of wheels that wont require spacers to make the s13 brakes upgrade work lol got these yesterday and that riverside 13x6 pair on trademe on friday,
have to stop for a while now as mr 2 doors would like to be paid for his efforts at some point :lol:
.......and now i have 3 and a half sets of wheels. and only 6 tyres between them :deadhorse:

@ chris.....

body will be the c10 #700 silver, decided a silver engine bay would be a bitch to keep even slightly clean.
