ok, to be honest why do you want to fight what is normal? just run the same size and width all round. it has a number of benefits.

1) all the right GTR offset and 'face' wheels come in sets of 4 that are the same size. if you stagger you'll have to be buying unsuitable wheels

2) proper GTR offset and faced wheels look good.

3) you wont have any AWD problems

4) you can rotate tyres front to back

5) the handling balance will be right. running smaller front tyres wrecks the way a GTR handles and just gives you lots of understeer.

as for offset there is no magic minimum offset that will clear the sumitomo brakes, simply because all wheels are made differently and have different shaped spokes etc. 2 different brand wheels with the same size and offset will have different amounts of brake clearance.

seriously running different width wheels on a GTR looks lame. it's for muppets.

Yea. Thats cause its nearer! Maybe we should have a southside meet, there's cheaper and nicer food here.

+1. Thats the great thing about the pumped arches on a GTR you can afford to run fat wheels front and back and it looks great. Just get some decent width rims all the way round and admire how tough the car looks.
