Default SSR GT3's ....

for all of those who have doubted that we have done our research here's proof
19X9 front (255 tire)
19X11 rear (295 tire)

the angle of the picture is critical in order to verify fitment a dead on side view doesn't allow one to see aspect of the tire in realtion to the car



no chance of rubbing here ...

380mm rotor with 8 piston calipers

I think it is the surface that it is parked on ... or the angle of the camera ...

So its not lowered? If it is, then the camber would kick in and yes it would clear better. Just a thought. Regardless, yes i think it would fit anyway.

Luke,
Are those Pilot Sports and if so are they 295/35? Did your other post list the offsets, if not I would like to know if possible. If that's the SEMA car did you use spacers?

Thanks ,
Bob

That Brembo car is not the same car as the other pics. You posted 1 pic of the Brembo car and all the closeup pics are of some other car. What gives?

Also, what are the offsets on those wheels? Members have been asking in this and the other post where you mentioned the 11" in rear but you haven't quoted the offset. What gives #2?

the pics were taken when the stripes were being put on .... the close ups were taken before application of the stripes/decals and the full car pic after it was completed ....

As far as the offset Q's many of the members here claim I don't know what I'm talking about because my info doesn't agreee with them ... so I figured it didn't matter .... This post was just to prove a point .... when I recommend something we have already completed all of the research needed to offer that recommendation .... Since we have invested the time and money in the research on the Z33 chassis we prefer not to share that info with the entire world (meaning our competitors).

It is lowered but you can always correct the camber after lowering a car with a good alignment

no you can't. this has been discussed many times. camber and castor are not adjustable on the Z33.

camber can be adjusted ... that's what camber kits do ... and they are being developed for the car ... and industry insiders do have access to proto typed parts

I understand but the offset will help some of us to make a more informed decision on our wheel purchase without haveing to ask you "will this work?, how about this?, what about this?"

I know personally I would like to do some research on my own and balance recommended fitments with the look and performance that I want. The info you have given is very helpfull whether I agree or not. It allows me to make an informed decision. Perhaps you would be willing to PM me the offset so that I can continue to determine my appropriate fitment.

I know I have brought some issues to your attention about offsets and scrub radius that you didn't initially think of on this car. This does not mean that I think you don't know what you're talking about, simply that I may have a different perspective. No one person is likely to know everything about the car.

Thanks.

Luke...the offsets don't affect brake clearance right? That has more to do with high pad/low pad design?

offset can effect brake clearance but wheel/spoke design is much more important

So with the Volk GT-C's you would probably recommend the +39mm 8.5 inch fitment for the front and the +37mm 9.5 inch fitment for the rear? How far does that place the wheels outward compared to stock?? Or does it just look like the stock? I know many people here don't want their wheels to look tucked.
