^^^ Nice - I have always loved the Kai style. But don't bother getting the guards rolled - get some skinner tyres with some stretch - those puffy looking things are a bit :sick: imho

I guess that's a matter of opinion as I find 245's stretched onto a 10.5 rim a bit :sick: , Just a little too ricer for me..............

To the OP. What ever your preference, choose your offset according to the width of the tyre, A stretched look is going to obtain a more aggressive offset.

Camber will also play a role if that floats your boat, just remember that rediculous camber is only going to shorten the life of your tyres. Fine for the track, not the street.

Just to give you a rough idea.

I went 19x8.5+15 (245/35)F 19x10+20(275/30)R

In my opinion I think the fitment is pretty sweet not aggressive but not too aggressive.

I figure I'll only need to roll my guards if I drop it too low.. (but I intend on rolling my rears as is when I drop it)

Got a pretty good price on the XXRs too.

Just over $1k without tyres.

or just save a bit more and get a 2nd hand set of 370z 19s, last I checked going price with tyres was just around the $2k mark...

Could be less now, check the zclub forums.

hey bro, where did u get the xxr's if i may ask?

cheers

I am considering selling my set if you're interested. Probably a bit too aggressive for what you want but PM me if you're keen. Retail at $4500 just for the wheels but obviously I don't want retail for them. Tyres are Pirelli with good tread. They are Forge MS7 20x10 -0 front and 20x11.5 -0 rear.

Might stretch the budget a bit if I can find some wheels i like... Love the GTC style with some dish

Hey, great to see another person who likes GTC! I still have mine but keeping them for my next car.

Just to throw in offset info. They are F 19x8.5 +5 (225/35), R 19x9.5 +12 (245/35). They are good fitments, not too aggressive.

Good luck in your search. Be patient & have the cash ready when you find the right set for you. :)

18X9.5+15 all round? front and back? looks tuff as bra!!!

Yep, thanks :) Had to roll the rear guards as was rubbing a bit

Looking good mate, is that the strafe trunk? end up selling your front bar yet?

Yep Strafe Trunk, the taillights are also now wrapped in GTR overlay from bluebat as they were the only thing that looked crap from rear view.

Enkei GTC is a nice wheel OP, about $1500 total too

if you want nice wheels, you need to register yourself on a few forums. occasionally someone has a set going cheap, but you have to be quick.

found mine (20x8.5, 20x10) with almost the exact offset i wanted on a merc forum in QLD for 900 with tyres, +100 freight +200 redrill.

What are your offsets? I'm looking at wheels in the exact same size for the sedan

20x8.5 +35 front with 225-35-20 (just inside the guards)

20x10 +42 rear with 255-30-20 and rolled guards (poke 5mm out of guards)

fronts should really be +25 so that they match the "poke" on the rears

all tyres are different. i originally had 285-25-20 pirelli's on the rears, wanted a bit narrower so bought a set of 265-30-20... they ended up being wider than the 285's!!

Edited by Deep Dish V35

I was looking at the Vertini Henesseys. 20x10 +25 all around or 20x8.5 fronts with +35. Thoughts?

wont work without body mods

20x10 +20 on a sedan's rear looks like this, with a 245 stretched across it...

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
