The search continues...
Does anyone know what pad height (spacing used for brake calipers) people are using for the popular 19x9.5 +17 & 19x10.5 +18? I'm assuming high pad for front/rear for people that have BBKs? The reason why I'm asking is if you recall my earlier post of when I tried Nitrouz's GT-S wheels, it actually didn't fit right with my BBKs (entire wheel stuck out & had a bunch of space in between the caliper/spokes) so I was thinking if they are normally running a high pad setup that I can probably go with a mid pad to allow the wheels to sink in a bit.
Sorry..I just saw these pics that leemik just posted of rs350z's Z & I am totally envious!!! I've been searching for the right setup for months now!

Apparently GT-S disease is contagious. It's been confirmed in Los Angeles, and now Miami is expecting an isolated case.

I had mentioned before that the newer carbon fiber look center caps just didn't do it for me with this color wheel. I sold my SF Challenges and gave the buyer my "new caps" and kept my old ones. I think they blend alot better.
Thanks for noticing........

New Member of the GT-S Army!!!
Yep, pulled the trigger on the Mercury Silver GT-S & should be getting them sometime next week. I also liked the look of the SF-Challenge center caps so I got those as well. Now I'm just hoping I'll get my car back so I can put on my new shoes
