    Finally got myself some new shoes, previously had r32 gtr rims, which fitted terribly.. have small spacers fitted in the pics below and they were still sunken and looked crap. Also have a new front bumper since i last posted pics...

    Had the bumper on for a while, but got the wheels last week..

    Specs are 18 x 9.5 +20 all round, have 235/40's fitted atm, eventually will put some 255s on the rear though. They are Rota Grids, i originally wanted TE37's although i am pretty happy with these, and i doubt my car will ever see the track so they should be fine.
    Need to roll my rear guards (anyone know of someone who does a good job in perth? preferably SOR but not that big of an issue) and might lower it a bit more.
    But yes, pretty happy with it atm though! :br:

    same here.

    at that height i reckon you could run a fatter tyre than a 235 and it wouldn't rub since there's plenty of space between the guard and the tyre. 235 on a 9.5" wheel is too stretched IMO and traction could be improved especally putting some 255s at the very least on the back.

    come home already mike :( haha, i miss the tech days of you all dressed up in shirts lmao.

    agreed, dump the shit out of it, or add some bigger tyres and make use of 4x4 spec !

    The Rotas look good dude. Nice colour for a red car too.

    I'm fairly certain your old wheels aren't GT-R rims though? At that offset they just look like regular GTS-T wheels to me.

    Yeah probly will get rid of the old rims, pretty sure they are gtr rims... well that what i was told when i got the car anyway, just google'd them and they both look pretty similar anyway, well whatever they were i didn't like them :p

    Ahhh new i would cop it a bit for getting rota's, doesn't really bother me though, still looks good! Going to eventually Black out the fogs/indicators, and wrap the two strips on the roof in some black vinyl.. Black Mesh for the front bar and probly even a "Ztoy roof spoiler" (or whatever they're called). At uni atm so even the simplist of jobs will take me ages because im lazy.

    Well looks like i'm dumping it then, hopefully i can get down my driveway when i get back to Perth:p

    What happened to your bar Rom? hit something or just fell apart? Before i got mine fitted i thickened up the fibreglass a bit... its only a matter of time before it get destroyed though, doesn't take much.

    i scrape it the smallest bit or nudge it on a driveway/speedbump and it cracks bad. I have spent almost triple the original cost on it fixing it, im starting to get very pissed off with it. Hope i can find a urethane mould somewhere.

    The Reason why your old wheels diden't fit properly is because they were R32 GTS-t wheels, not GTR ones witch sit nicly on a 300zx.
