If I could of got a 1in or no lip up front I would have went for It but not possible with the GTS. I'm curious to see how this will look. I figure if anything I can always throw a spacer on the fronts as well. By the way how much are you lowered and what are you lowered on?? That's my next mission! I'm thinking about eibach Pro Street
Thanks. I just looked at the spec sheet for GTS and the difference of the lip sizes from a +17 and +30 is only .52 inches.

The 9.5 +17 is 3.70 inch lip. The 9.5 +30 is 3.18 inch lip.

I'm lowered on BC Racing BR Type Coilovers, roughly an inch in the front and two inches or so in the rear to match the front.

Heres the link to the spec sheet if you want to read it for yourself.

I guess that's better then nothing to achieve the look I'm going for! I wanted the +43 but they won't fit on the Z without rubbing. Hard decisions as always

Yea, I'm sure you will like the wheels when you see them when they arrive from Japan, it is easy to over think everything before hand.

Very nice. Those pics are very helpful to me. Thinking of doing those same brand tires in same sizes. This gives me a perfect idea of how they look. Current setup is 245/275.

Reminder - Do not post anything for sale, for trade, or wanted outside of the marketplace

This is a rule that's been since 2008 and everyone should know it by now

lol they buy it from the "expensive" places you probably seen them for sale at. Used ones popup in the for sale section from time to time with decent prices, just got to keep looking and have patience if you don't want to buy new ones.

That's why this thread is six years old and only 50 pages and the varcrapten thread is a year old and 50 million pages.

900 per wheel or 900 per set

great origional design or replica crap

look in the classified's for sets around 2-2.5k
