The Nismo car is the only one I'm aware of running 17/18

oh I know....

tom (owns a V2 kit... and lusts after the RS concept)

and man, thank you sooo much for that link, I was just searching my head off for it. there is another car in there (attakd?) that is running 17/18.

looking for something unique.

the only thing I am worried about is choosing profiles for the tires.

the nismo uses a 255/40/17 265/35/18 setup which would be about an inch smaller than stock rolling diameter (the stock uses 17's with 50 sidewall and 45 on the 18s).

so, lots o research to do what do you think?

Been waiting 3 months for my new Volks GTS. Went down to 18x10 & 18x11. Was told they should be shipping to me in 5 days. Went with Toyo R888 for the rubber.
