Icon2 restoring a few odds and ends & tire size question.

hello again,

so i decided to start fixing all the little things that are wrong with my car before i get some pain on it. i have a build thread up , i dont know how to link it into this paragraph...lol. its not much of a build yet, just started the thread so i have somethign to look back on when im done to see her go through the stages. its a 93 cx with a 96 b18b swap.

skipping to the point (after the long intro)...
--i decided im going to spray my engine bay with trubberized undercoat. many will ask WHY?! the answer is simple...its uniform, its cheap, its easy, and it actually prevents rust form forming...if doen right.
--im repainting all my red vents and speaker covers black. does anyone have a suggestion to what rattle can color is closest? if not im just gonna gloss black it.
--im also going to start some body work soon so my buddy can slap some paint on her.


and i have a question...im curently running some 16 inch enkeis. idk what kind they are. i ned new tires. so would a 205/40 r16 tire fit? after everythign i read im inclined to say yes....but im not 110% sure. and im getting nitto neo gens.

thanks in advance

Yes get them all the same size. That size is fine for 16's. You can go bigger if you want, thats up to you. Tires also is up to you. Nittos seem like good tires. I like Falkens myself.

I like the falken 912's. They have good grip and they last a long time. I got mine through a hook up..

or you might be able to try 215 45s i just got those and i love em they look nice and beefy
but i got falken azenis 80 each
i like them better cause with the 40s your ride is alot rougher and the 45s is a huge diffrence
