Hey all, Looking at some Varrstoen es1 rims (BBS LM replicas) for my gtt, but I can't decide whether I want 18's or 19's. My current setup is 18x9.5 +15 all round, with 255/35. The fronts sit pretty close to flush, while the rear guards definitely have room to accommodate a wider rim and tire. **The most aggressive setup offered in 18's are: 18x10.5 +12 These will sit 16mm further out than current rims, with the inset having 10mm less clearance. (basically around 5mm poke at the front, rear's pretty flush I'd assume) **The most aggressive setup offered in 19's are: 19x11 +12 These will sit 22mm further out than current rims, with the inset having 16mm less clearance. (around 11mm poke at the front, slight poke at the rear) Seeing as the rims have a step lip, this usually makes them appear smaller, which is my argument for going with 19's, but that said I wouldn't be able to lower the car any more, and I think they will foul on the coilovers. 18's allow me to lower the car slightly to eliminate wheel to guard gap, and I'm a bit more confident on this fitment clearing everything. OPINIONS AND COMMENTS!

Opinions Since i'm fairly indecisive and not sure which way i want to go, i was after you opinions on what i should do, the car would be used occasionally for track and drag work. I'm going to be selling of a few projects and cars that i have so i can focus on just one (having too many really is a pain in the arse) My thoughts are: I have invested time and money into the GTS-T so i might as well continue on that and have a solidly built car. GTR would be an investment of sorts, alot of fun, and the ultimate R33 I have had a massive love of wagons and the 260RS combines the best of the GTR and wagon body
