Thumbs up

I'm cross-posting this to see if anyone in here has an idea where these flares could have come from. These images are taken from here and are from an article detailing a RENESIS powered SA.



Some people are saying they are 240/260/280z flares, while others are saying they are definitely NOT Z flares...















This would really help out my current tire/wheel size predicament! And no, I'm not at all interested in CP Racing .

You can fit 17x8 +35 offset in the rears with rolled fenders. I running those on Moser SE axles and have 235/40/17 rubber on them. No rubbing and I think they look great.

The funny thing is that is not a SA. And ever more strange is that it is only running 8" rear wheels. I personally would have stuffed 9-10" under there if I were to flare. Gorgeous car though.

Looked at the interior pictures and noticed that it has SA interior. The tail lights and bumpers inticate that it is a FB. Am I missing something here?

I read the articla ya jerk I just can't read Japanese! There was speculation that the mention of 240z was because of the fenders but I just wanted to be sure.

bc it says 240z. If you start looking at fender flares for z's you can see the similarities.

the japanese rx7's, are all SA22c's, they didnt get the FB vin sequence. and they also didnt get the same interiors as the us cars, most particularly, the dash's on the 84-85's
