My car now with sideskirts, alloy radiator and i also rewired and tried to hide a few wiring looms (stock boost control solenoid, my alarm and the loom that sits near the left hand side strut tower, looks much cleaner now.

Sorry the pics arent the best.

Here's my GTR with a few new mods I've done since buying it. Going to try winding the coilovers down a bit to get the tyre a bit closer to the guard for a tougher stance, but might put the stock plastic front lip on first to save smashing the carbon one!

Bad day for pics, bad light and cloud doesn't show the Midnight Purple or the bronze of the Volks too well......but you get the idea! Will get some better ones with the new ride height.

Hey mate

At the moment im running 18x8" +28 offset with Toyo T1R 225/40/r18 fronts 18x9" +30 offset with Toyo T1R 255/35/r18 rears,these widths,offsets and tyre size are what Work recomends for our cars, they fit perfect, i have the rear of the car pretty low and the tyre clears the gaurd by about 2mm, but to be honest i reckon the widths and offsets are pretty crap, both the front and back wheels dont have enough dish (in my opinion) and the front wheels stick inside the gaurds to much for my liking, if i were you i would go for 18 x 9" +30 on all for corners (i have tried my 9" rear wheels on the front and they fit perfect but the tyre is a bit to big so it would scrape the gaurd if it was to low), so a 225 or 235 stretched on there would be perfect and you wouldnt have to roll your gaurds or modify anything.

Im actually thinking of selling my wheels and getting another set but 18x9 +30 with 225 or 235 tyres for the front and 18x10 +38 with possibly 255's (i would have to see what size tyres would fit well) for the rear, i would have to roll the lip on the rear guards to make the 10" wheels fit ofcourse, that would make the car look so much better in my opinion ,the 18x10 have a 73mm lip which would look awsome :/

Anyway i hope that helps for when you choose your sizes :(

Cheers for the comments everyone!

Clean and 'stealthy' looking mate... this is the style I like - simple... no stickers, RICE etc. Nice.

I would however, get bigger rims - but besides that looks nice and clean.

And oh, 1 more thing... definitely put the matt-black original lip back on - the CB one looks ghey!!

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
