Finally!.. Enkei RP03 18x9.5 with 275's all round (PICS)
FINALLY got the wheels on...Some of you may have read my old post about trying to fit 275's front and back (like sport compact car)... after months of waiting and measuring and saving up cash, they're finally on.
Enkei RP03 (silver) 18x9.5 with +38 offset all around.
Front Spacers 15mm (hubcentric) for a total +23mm offset at the front. Fits JUST inside the front wheel arches, no scrubbing at full lock! (see pics)
Sumitomo HTRZ II tyres
275/40/18 rear
275/35/18 front
Some photos taken on the great ocean road drive (Adelaide to Melbourne)
Initial impressions - excellent grip in dry, quite a significant increase in road noise over stock. Tyres squeal a lot more but controllable at limits of traction. Slightly sloppy turn-in due to soft sidewalls.
Got to 240km/h and felt quite safe.
Grip is poorer in the wet, as expected.
Hope you enjoy the pics!

Yeah, spacers on the rear seem like a good idea... i'm still deciding when to do that...
I think that I'm due for a new aftermarket front bumper, you can see the rock chip damage in one of the closeups...

Yeah, i got the sumitomo's bloody cheap (about AUD 400, which is about half the price of S03's or PS2's etc). For the price i'm still very impressed by them.

I replaced my stock 18's w/ 18" RPO3's-9"f & 10"r-w/ agressive offsets and have never looked back. The wheels have been on about 10k miles. IMO, the wheels still look great on my '04 ZR. The clear coat has held up extremely well, and the wheels are very easy to keep clean. Absolutely no problems. Thanks to Jason @ performancenissan for turning me on to these wheels.

hi tienlo!
excellent setup
... do you have some pics from the front wheels ... i want to get the same setup, but i have to check, if the wheels stand out of the fender ... in austria that's a big problem and not allowed ...
btw ... how near is the rim to the suspension?!
