  1. It'll work if you run spacers, and I'd only run spacers on wheels I buy for less than 1.5K. Anything more than that and I take my time to make sure I get them in the right offset, or I'm prepared to alter the car to make em fit if they're too epic to pass up.
  2. no. you'll run the risk of fouling on the front suspension as it sits a few mm further in than normal, and it'll be about 1cm inside your fenders, so you'll ed up with flushness fail. you can run spacers if you want, that'll fix your issues, but for $2.5k I'd want it to be fucking on point to start with. those wheels are supposed to go on V35/V36/Z33/Z34, not GTRs.
  3. if the wheels are the same width, but have different offsets, then that's fine. if the wheels are staggered, and the total rolling diameter of the wheel including the tyres is within 1% of each other, then that's fine too. anything else will cause issues with ATTESA.
  4. more 10.5 10" wide with 0 offset
  5. yeah 10" +18 sits flush on an R33 GTSt that's lowered. 10.5 +15 is nice on an R33 GTR Also NO. It's not OK as long as the tyres are the same. the same overall diameter of the wheel (tyre + rim) must be the same front and back with about 1% tolerance.
  6. almost there almost unghhhhhhhhh awww shiettt all over your face. wait... wut?
  7. only some S13 crossbars. some guys have issues with clearing the intake pipe/plenum on the RB. make sure you testfit before you buy to be sure.
  8. this is why I'm going anti fibreglass and reverting everything back to urethane and metal, for the flex when dumped
  9. *facepalm* installous. not everyone runs a jailbroken iphone/ipod/ipad either.
  10. proton satria GTI, vw golf MK3, civic, micra, starlet... anything really that's small and sub 1.8L. the newer the better. just sayin they're not as out of style as you may think. Also Advan 5's don't look like that nor do they come in that sorta fitment.
  11. not nobody, just not large enough a market share to make it viable for parent companies of japanese manufacturers to approve. not like the old days before revolutionaries like Gohsn stepped in to remove 6 models that were the same shit with a slightly different headlight. Toyota sells a Altezza/Lexus IS at a similar price point to what people expect to buy a FT86 at. Its a RWD N/A. Why would they make another one until the Lexus IS brand establishes itself as a "luxury sports car" in japan? Keep in mind in the eyes of the japanese an Altezza is just a RWD corolla. Toyota is still trying to establish Lexus as a luxury brand over there.
  12. shoulda suspected something was up when I found a whitney CD in his car. nga's been practicing on the sly while touge'n.
  13. steal one. recolour it. claim it was always yours. seems to be the going practice anyways.
  14. sounds like the best revision of your plan so far. sensible at least, you've got a car you're passionate about and a decent car to drive around in. word of advice, spend more on a newer daily that's prone to less faults/breakdowns. esp if you plan to build your MR2 slowly.
  15. yes kris, thank you mr finger on the pulse. that's why these rims have been sold out across most of japan for the last month after being released in january this year. shit's selling hotter than crack cocaine.
  16. because no one in japan outside a handful of povo drifters (who can't afford new cars anyways) and workshops seem to care about a RWD platform N/A. The market is much more polarised these days, hence the shift towards fewer models with greater variance between them. Want a cheap small RWD N/A coupe? buy a hyundai genesis when it comes out.
  17. I kinda prefer the Wedsports SA-60M. like so: or in standard form:
  18. if you're serious, then tell me how much clearance inwards and outwards you get on your car sitting at the height you want with the suspension you have. to do this, take your wheel off, get a straight piece of wood, drill two holes so that you can bolt it to two hub bolts, ziptie/stickytape a ruler to it perpendicular to the stick at roughly half the diameter of the wheel you wanna fit plus an inch to allow for tyres, then spin the wheel to see if the ruler hits anything. If the ruler doesn't hit anything, then measure the distance on the ruler. If it does hit something, then move the ruler and try again. This will give you the inner clearance from the hub (measurement a). Then do the same, but keep the ruler at the highest point on the spin and take a measurement out to the fender. This is your outer clearance (measurement b). Now: a+b = your max rim width in mm ((a+b)/2) - b = offset in mm This way you'll end up with the perfect offset or something close enough to what you need. All cars are different, as they'll run different suspensions at different heights.
  19. dunno i try to spend about 2.5k on rims max inc tyres... but 3k should get you some brand spanker XD9's 18x10 +18 from the getgo in any finish you want. also 19" or 18"?
  20. lol 3k? really? including tyres?
  21. give me your money. i will buy you epic wheels.
  22. breaker bar with a size 19 socket in the glove box. handy for undoing lug nuts also.
