I love the agressive look, gonna buy em and drive till i get defected :(

That REALLY is not a very smart idea! Its like waving a red flag at a bull!

Like the other guys have said, as soon as they spot the over-sized wheels on the car, it is an invite to go all through the vehicle, and you have the potential to have all sorts of things defected... including not having enough water in you windscreen wiper reseviour.

Could become bullshit expensive, and time consuming, and for what? having some Mexican poke?

Haha so true mate, that wasn't a very well thought out comment

I'm gonna carefully consider offsets/sizes before i buy.

most likely 9.5's all round with +15 at the rear and +22 at the front.

I would probably kamehameha the cop if he pinned me for my windscreen wiper reservoir :/

Is that offset going in a GTR? They will still poke out on a GTST. I had 17x10 +18 on the rear.

naaa, going on a 34gt. +22 is pretty flush for the fronts from what ive heard, concerned about the +15 for the rear.

oh well, I've bought the wheels, just awaiting postage, i'll post up pics when they are fitted.

I've got 17x9.75 +25 with stretched tyres on my r32 gtst, stick out a bit.. Had them on for 6months now and been passed hundreds of cops only been pulled up twice and never had any probs with the wheels at all.

That doesnt stick out anywhere near as much as this guys 10 +15 will

Another thing to keep in mind that the cop asked me about was what size are the standard rims and what amaze rims are on the car. Lucky they were only 1 inch bigger so he couldn't get me for that either.

Hmmm, I was going to run 18x10" +22 on my GTT, But bit worried they will stick out to far. Opinions ?

Yeh, mate,, you're gonna have the same problem as me, I'll pm you a few posts ive found of guys that have done +22?

it's too late, i've already ordered the rims, so i'll post up pictures soon, when they are delivered and fitted.

I think the gt's are 16" so i should be right i think, cos i think the limit is 2" from memory.

will stick out by about 25mm, meaning you'd need stupid camber, massive stretch or a decent flare to have a chance. the picture ive attached is a 9.5 +20 running around 1.7 degrees camber. making anything bigger fit would take time and money.

my 275's with shitty +48 offset stuck waaay out on my supra(and i had a widebody!)

Got pulled over by the cops 3 times for various things , not one said anything about the wheels , and it had a fair bit of poke to....

in saying that....i don't advise doing that as its not worth knowing your riding on a defect every time you sit behind the wheel and as with all defects its up to the discretion of the cop.

also , flush looks awesome :)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
