They are +18... Is that bad? I dont have a problem rolling/cutting the fenders, just dont want them to rub on the inside (obviously!).

I just got the rears in today, need to make sure they clear the BBK also... Otherise I will have a set of brand new GT-S Volks for Sale!!!

 

Whoa, that's gonna be a close fit. I have 305s on a 10.5" wheel with +29 and had to cut the fenders and it's still a tight fit. You may have to run an aggressive amount of neg camber. Good luck!

 

Nicest Ultra Yellow I've seen. 05' was the only year for this color, correct?

 

I'm not going to BS you and say "this may work" or wish you luck. Yes it is bad. I'm sure you've seen the GTS thread and figured with the amount of ppl jumping on the +18 offsets you shouldnt have a problem....however, keep in mind that many of these guys are running on 275 tires (stretched), slamming their cars, cutting fenders, and running some really negative camber. Others have wider tires and are sticking well outside of their fender. I can't even imagine how far 305's will stick out at a +18 offset.

Just to give you an example, I recently bought GTM's which are +21 (or +22..forgot) in the rear, 10.5" width wheel. Mounted Toyo's (285) and stuck outside of the fender about 5 mm's. 275's would have worked, but not enough rubber for me. 305's will NOT work unless you do what roncfpz's suggested.... running REALLY negative camber and cut the fenders. But ask yourself, do you really want to lose that much tire contact to the ground with the amount of power you have? Really bad on the wear, not to mention safety. I would cancel your order if possible.

 

$hit! Well I have not paid for them yet... They are still at the speed shop. I also told them they have to fit before i will buy...

Guess I am off the hook, for now... So I need to go with a +28 then to make this work? Does anyone even know if you can get them with this offset? That is really gonna kill my 5" lip isn't it? This sucks!

 

^ hmmmm.... that's a good question 10.5/+28 with 305's....... I'm going to refer the offset guru Zquicksilver to this thread for his feedback, we talked about that setup with 285's and 295's... I think 305's is pushing it. Is your car dropped at all?


btw..GTS in Titanium Gunmetal (19x9.5 +30 and 19x10.5 +28) in stock @ Injected Performance.

 

offset guru... lol!

Nice Z jkenefic

This is my advice on the rear rims, get a +28 and forget about the lip. It's only going to be 10cm less anyway. That shift of 10cm will give you the necessary fender clearance to run a 305. I'm running 295 Conti2s which measure 12.2" wide unmounted. They're almost equivalent to 305s. My offset is +29 on a 10.5" rim.
I can tell your lowered but not slammed, you will still have to roll your fenders in order to clear safely with the suggest setup. Leave your camber around -1.5 and you should be fine.
Now if you decide you want good looks + more traction go with a 295 and adj. your camber to -1 degree with a 1/16" of toe. This is what I did... back end feels great!

^ great advice James, and just to follow up; if you do want to adjust your camber to -1 degree, you will need a camber kit as the stock setup can only go up to -1.5 degrees. James, I thought you were closer to zero camber?

 

Very nice....looks AND speed, good combo.

 

Zero degrees would be dangerous for the street... my alignment guy said that's the type of setup they use for the drag strip. They even use positive camber sometimes...

Thanks guys!!! I will let the speed shop know to send 'em back! Only thing that sucks is I had to wait 2 months to get these... Oh well, the season is pretty much over, I can wait how ever long it takes now!

Here is one more pic that I found on my camera... I think I am definately going to switch the canards to carbon once I get the wing.

 

^ gotcha. Visually, your camber looks pretty close to zero from the rear! Hard to tell.

 

Well I am not sure on that either... I lowered the car with the Tokico springs and shock combo. Supposed to be a 1" drop. I have not touched the camber, it looks neg to me, but the tire wear it even for the most part...

 

i never thought the nismo v2 could look good i was wrong

 

Good deal. If you are dead set on the GTS, Injected Performance has 1 set available in the titanium gunmetal (conservative offset), call them and ask for Marty: 1.888.465.7373. I'm sure he'll give you a good deal.

 

Jkenefic....PM sent!

 

beautiful!
