Is this the one that is:

Grade: 5 (New Car Condition)

18,000 km's (Has existing log book history)

Window tint off, exhaust raised, lowered 15mm, Lambda installed, now to pull some fuel out of it. Happy!

Sad to say this will be the last photo with the BBS wheels. Had a rock jump into the wheels last night and get stuck between the calipers and the nuts, shearing 7 nuts of the back of the studs (about a 1/4 of the wheel). The tire deflated (thankfully slowly). I think this is extreme bad luck but, after using the wrong silicone on them and having to redo all of them, this is the end of my love affair with them.

Sooooo bought these.

LMGT4 still in 17 x 9.5 because I like a little bit of muffin top.

Any better pics? Looks awesome.

No better pics yet - waiting on a set to come through from Japan - hopefully this weekend - otherwise Monday.......

I hate waiting ;-)

Ohhhh and sheeesh -bad luck on those BBS's they looked great :-(

Nismo LMGT4's are better wheels anyway :)

What offset are they?

17 x 9.5 is a nice size for the R32 GTR.

+12. Might rub?

You should be fine and will fill out nicely.

Your ride height is low, but function low not stanced low.

So you will get a nice flush look, so Tyre / Wheel directly under the guards (no poke / no sunk).

If there is any poke / sunk, it will be marginal.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
