+0 offset will have the wheels sticking out about 1.5 inches past the bodyline, sort of like a 4x4 jeep look. A fender roll/pull/yank/maul probably won't suffice. A widebody must be in order OR you can run a 215/235 stretched tire setup, with as much camber as possible (-7 or -8 degrees), that will also work.

The roll is minimal. My choice was to cut the rears and touch them up with clear (nail polish works too) so it doesn't chip

I have a couple wicked CAS things in my garage mang. Don't think it's the "door panels" but the kick panels and then there are the CF door panels with speakers in them as well.

I run 18 285/30s now, I just don't have the 3.5 gears. I would love for one of these big FI guys to swap pumpkins with me.

I wouldn't bother with the VLSD.....you can get the nismo for $999 from IPP, and it is a quality unit...comes with stub axles and all hardware needed.

if your getting painted rolling is easy! Just roll the hell out of it till your happy with the result then the body shop will take care of making the paint look right... Do a roll with no paint your limited to how far you can go with no paint cracking. I dont have a very extreme pull but I still have a little bit of cracking on mine.

Yeah Hills Garage found me one. I may not be the best person to ask as to feeling. My old tranny was SHOT. It sounded like I had a super charger. The gear whine was incredible. And my 3rd was completely gone.
the tranny is SOOOOO quiet. Shifting is magical. and the clutch and flywheel combo are great. I am so happy. After all that was said and done I think I spent $1850 for everything. The tranny was used.
