Default Nismo LM-GT4 & SO3's on Silverstone

Well I got them yesterday and had them mounted today. The ride feels great, the pressure monitors work and I'm quite happy with the look:

Zland - I tried to respond to your PM, but your box is full.

The wheels are 18" with a +25 offset in front and +30 in the rear. The tires are 245/40-18's in front and 275/40-18's in back.

Did you order NISMO Suspension system too?

Yup, The front and rear are in these boxes, along with the sway bars. The rocker panels (skirts) arrived today.

I'm gonna try and put in the suspension Saturday...

I agree. I hope it'll look even better once I get the suspension in though.

Default offsets

VERY NICE WHEEELS!
that's one of my two choices, the other, the silver TE37s.
what is the offset? because in the japanparts website it lists them as +25 all around. but, in the nismo website it has them as +25 fr. and +30 re.

thanks

Looks great. Any chance you could post a side shot of the car? (straight on as opposed to the angled shots above)

Not really feeling those....they look too small for some reason.

Congrats though!

Looks Good, make that GREAT....!!!

any chance of someone photoshopping them in Gunmetal?

How big is the polished lip?

Can I ask how much they set you back, tires and all ?

It was ~$3500 for wheels, tires and mounting/remounting (old tires onto old wheels after the pressure monitors were moved).

The lip's are not very big, maybe 1/2" in front and 3/4" in back (from memory).
