cov350z Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 they should fit nicely. may have to use a spacer to clear brembos though not sure on the wheel design hub side? so ask that before you commit to that offset, but i like these wheels was looking at the m1rs myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 If you need mesh for grills etc it's available from B n Q but get the alliminium, it's easy to shape,cut, etc, The side cutting isn't really a problem but it's Deffo a case of measure, re measure, measure again then cut, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking some anchor bolts rather then rivets...but still searching...problem is most of the good products I find are in America....

I'd drill the wings and then rivnut them, the wings could then be bolted on http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/LASER-0979-Threaded-Nut-Riveter-Rivet-Gun-Rivnut-Insert-Tool-40-Rivets-M3-M6-/161955463848?nav=SEARCH You'd just need extra m6 rivnuts and some m6 bolts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Spacers will still be required on those offsets buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Spacers will still be required on those offsets buddy. Yes...I budgeted for these aswell although I will wait and measure first for what size I need... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilscorp Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Rivnuts are the best option, then buy some coloured button nuts to attach the over fenders, not cheap but will look good and allow for repairs easier. Got some sitting ready for my install =) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 That's what i'm saying ... offsets need to be at least -35 and -50 otherwise spacers will be required on the previously quoted offsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 haven't had the chance to measure them yet...I suspect the Brembos will need some clearance on a negative offset perhaps....but once I get the ball rolling will find out...starting probably first week in September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 If u order the correct centres you won't need spacers. You get a deeper centre for the clearance of brembos and other big callipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valy Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 ok so this weekend I have the chance to start working on the car so: took the front bumper off first and then I started trying the fitment of the Rocket Bunny Kit (remember no cutting has been done yet) then started to put the rivnuts in and attach the front bumper using hex m6 bolts with rubber washers (will get another set of black steel washers as well to go on top of these ) dropped the bonnet and... so far it looks like the fitment is actually quite good with minimum touches required good to have Mike (Veilside Z) and his son paying a visit today! will get a few more updates tomorrow 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 a few more hours spent today fitting/adjusting/cutting/drilling etc... so here are some of the pics fitted the front bumper seeing how it lines up with the front fenders ...around the front lights (a bit more trimming required here) drilled the fenders drilled and connected the 3 parts of the rear diffuser more work on it next weekend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Great progress. Fit doesn't look too bad at all. Fast forwarding a bit.... What colour will the car be once it's all fitted? Or is it a secret? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
