Now that I have black wheels, I may be able to do what I've been planning to do since like 3+ years ago for my exterior, but we'll see.
On a side note, I ordered a new tow hook since I apparently left my stock one back in TX. This one's much prettier.
Patrick - why 45 aspect in front and 40 aspect in rear? car may look funny with different aspect (front and rear). I speak from experience. The battles wont need spacers IMO but if you insist. Also if you need a fender roll.. you know who to hit up.. hell Im doing one today..
BTW, I'm getting 15mm spacers for my rears (18x9.5 +12 all around).
I just picked these up - just 2 of them though.. All I can afford for now..18x10.5 +15

I will get 2 more eventually.. or perhaps some RPF1s in the front...I dont care about matching wheels for AUTO-X or drifting..

BTW, the FN01R-Cs were $600 shipped. I saved over half on the wheels alone + free shipping. Enkeis would've cost more than double that.
Why are you getting 305s? That's way too much width on the tire for whatever power you have.

Ya chris, the 255/45's are actually a slightly smaller outside diamater when try are on the back but when put on the front the outside diamater is actually slightly larger than oem. I'm not too thrilled about that but since it is only temporary, I'm not to worried about it.

well 305's fit my rim so i figure why not. I have no first gear and no 2nd gear if its above 5k rpm. I can sit there and drift sideways with my foot to the floor. When I eventually make it to 3rd I drift for a little.
Thats with 265's , I didn't think 285's would make that much of a difference so I figured I would jump to the biggest tire my rim would take.

305s are overkill for what you have and are unnecessarily expensive. It'll look beefy as hell, though. Beefy > stretched.
BTW, aren't you on stock Nismo wheels? Recommended wheel widths for 305s are 10-12 inches.

The vendor doesn't have much in stock anymore. I got the very last set of 18s you'd want for a Z/G and he had to order from a place in Cali himself to get it to me. He's sold out of everything at that price now and put up the rest on eBay (for a higher price).

Mine are 18x9.5 +12 all around.
