needs more offset in the back, but its looking great otherwise

Thanks matey. Yeah I wouldn't mind bringing it out a few extra centimetres but it's just a snug fit as is anything more then it would scrape. Don't know if you guys are aware but my front and Rears have been custom flared extra 20+ centimeters so this offset is all I could find that would sit flush.

whyd you flare the fenders only to fit +12s? ive got 10J +12s and they sit under standard guards

You running 19's? x9.5+12? Mate, these are GTR offsets so if you're saying they fit a GTS-T this is highly unlikely.

nah it looks good, non stretched tires, and a good stance...who cares how far you "can" push it out if it looks that good anyways?? agreed tho. it could come out a little at the back.

Hi guys, yeah not a fan of stretched tires and I am already running 275s all round which is huge. I have already tried running 20mm spacers on rears and over humps they actually scrape quite bad. The problem is is this is not a full wide-body kit, i.e. they are stock GTR guards that have been flared to give a tougher stance which means the inner arches are flush with the 19x9.5+12 offset so although from a far it would occur that the wheels can indeed come out an extra 10-20mm, in fact they are just a snugg fit and anything further will surely scrape. I wanted a tougher stance hence the flaring so arguably if left stock, these wheels may look more flush on my GTR. But like you say, I like them they way they are and no need to push it out further for drivability.

I've posted a few other pics for you guys. Yes, a GTS's guardes if rolled or modified a bit may fit these wheels. Stock GTR definitely.

Looks like a proper weapon

:thumbsup:

hey mate any side on pics??? i just wanted to see what red wheel nuts look like on black rims?

Here you are mate. Most coloured wheel nuts will suit black wheels but red is the safest option besides black ones in my opinion.

Thanks matey. It's taken me a while, a lot of $$$ and several rim changes before I got it to where I want it to be. Now I'm thinking of selling it due to family commitments.

Here's a couple other pics for those that have PM(ed) me asking for some more. It's no supercar but holds a close place in my heart! ;)

Great stance Kevin. Bet it looks angry in the rear view mirror!

Yeah it seems as though one should buy all the mods they want up front (or as soon as possible) so you can enjoy them for as long as possible... doing it up over time is more realistic but it seems as though as fate would have it you end up having to sell just shortly after doing one big mod or another.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
