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.

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 :)

    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
