ok yeah i see what you mean.. still confuses me a bit lol With 18's like yours ive seen is the perfect size and fitment. Ive spoken to a lot of other guys that are running 19 and there all 10.5+22 and look great, where all the guys running 19's.. +12 are having scrubbing issues.

Also have a look at the blue and white pic together and what seems to look like the same front bar the white one has these two bumps/fangs below the gtr badge. Is it only the original ones that have that and the ones without are fake?

not the exact same bar. The bayside blue car has an S-tune front bar (i think)

and KSR has a Z-tune style replica bar. But as someone else said, the genuine Z-tune bars don't have the little 'fang' thingos

alot of benifets running 18s imo.. cheaper tyres, can run wider tyres and more sidewall to protect expensive wheels! its all personal preference though, 19s do look great though!

i know god speed runs 19x10.5 +15 with 275s, no scrubbing issues i believe but may need to clarify with him.

Yeah i agree with you with all the benefits of 18's, got to be careful running 19's with a low profile. Ive seen some +15 and they look a bit to chunky for my liking. I guess what I want to know is whether the 19x10.5+22 are a bit more wider in the guard than an 18x9.5+12 or do they just cancel each other out with the different offset size

that might help answer your question? its a much of a muchness.. the 10.5s will stick out a tiny bit more but the tyres wont be as flush, so the 9.5s could appear more flush..

If you look at my pic of my old one I was running 18x10.5s with a 275 and decent profile. If I dropped my bilsteins down more would of still been no issues what so ever. I had mine set up for more perfomance rather then looks though.

19s I dont know, for street and looks yeah but for driving hard and track day's 18s all the way. Cheaper tyres more side wall.

18s with massive dish look almost the same size as a dished 19 anyway IMO.

^ but your car is super high. Most people run coilovers and lowered so running that size tyre looks like it would be an issue on a lowered car especially without rolled guards.

Nah mate mine sits low now, the front splitter is pretty much bang on 100mm off the ground. The rear photo shot is decieving as its on an angle the suspension stroke is extended. Will get some better pics next week.

Cheers thanks for your help man! That link cleared things up for me

Yeah ill be keeping the 18's for track. The main reason why I want to go with 19's is for street and looks and that way I can run some decent semis on the 18's

.

I'm pretty sure they are +22 offset. With +12 I would struggle even more lol

What profile tyres? I had dramas when I had the same size wheels with 275/35, changed to 30 profile and was all good.. Although mine is not as low as yours..

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
