Unhappy The search continues...

Does anyone know what pad height (spacing used for brake calipers) people are using for the popular 19x9.5 +17 & 19x10.5 +18? I'm assuming high pad for front/rear for people that have BBKs? The reason why I'm asking is if you recall my earlier post of when I tried Nitrouz's GT-S wheels, it actually didn't fit right with my BBKs (entire wheel stuck out & had a bunch of space in between the caliper/spokes) so I was thinking if they are normally running a high pad setup that I can probably go with a mid pad to allow the wheels to sink in a bit.



Sorry..I just saw these pics that leemik just posted of rs350z's Z & I am totally envious!!! I've been searching for the right setup for months now!

Just making sure the last two pics are of your car correct? The color of your wheel is Mercury Silver, correct?

Your car is absolutely beautiful. I'm saving up for the GT-S' now, I can't wait.

Not my ride bro. It's actually rs350z's ride which leemik to pics of (you can see leemik's red Z in the background). I just pulled the trigger on these same GT-S though so mine will look similar but SS

BTW...thanks Brian (Volk350Z) & Rick (status) for putting up with a all my questions these past few months

The main problem with the rims is they are too good looking causing a widespread disease called the "jaw dropper".

CNN just released the story....

Apparently GT-S disease is contagious. It's been confirmed in Los Angeles, and now Miami is expecting an isolated case.

I had mentioned before that the newer carbon fiber look center caps just didn't do it for me with this color wheel. I sold my SF Challenges and gave the buyer my "new caps" and kept my old ones. I think they blend alot better.

Thanks for noticing........

Yep, pulled the trigger on the Mercury Silver GT-S & should be getting them sometime next week. I also liked the look of the SF-Challenge center caps so I got those as well. Now I'm just hoping I'll get my car back so I can put on my new shoes
