You guys already know my set up but i'll post anyway.

8.5 X 18 front 245/40 15mm spacer (i might put 20mm in the front)
9.5 X 18 rear 275/40 20mm spacer

My question to those of you who have different tire set up is "What would be a more ideal tire set up?"

I've seen Luong set up (pictures) 275/35/18 rear. Would it look better? Would it create a bigger gap than my current set up?

Thanks

I'll have some pictures up tomorrow.

A 35 series tire looks too skinny on an 18" wheel on a Z, but thats just my opinion.

Those blue ones' are powder coated right?

I think I'm going to powder coat my LMGT's Takata green.

Thanks to those who reply to my question. I think i'm gonna stick with 245/275 set up. It grips really good. As for some of guys that want to change your nismo wheel color, i would just buy different wheels. Just my opinion. A pick with different angle for Waizzz. I have a lousy camera.

Some better pics of the car using a better camera. Not trying to show off the car or anything. A member on here interested in the rear mud guard, so i'm taking these so he can get a better look. I'm interested in more aggressive set up, show me what you got.

They are basically the same wheels available on any Grand Touring model and were already listed in this thread earlier.

I'm pretty sure these are the same wheels that Andy had painted:

Other than that set I've never seen LM's painted a different color. I will most likely have mine painted next year something closer to Mag or F-Zero blue.

Damn those do look just like them with the sticker placement.

Mag would look sweet, what's f-zero blue? Like a lighter blue?

I'm pretty set on going takata green with mine, if not a more lime color.

I just noticed the stickers are upside down on that wheel. LOL

The F-Zero is a slightly lighter color, I think it's more of a truer blue:

Takata-ish green would look great.

That's it, yes very close from what I can tell in pictures I have yet to see a set in person.

When are you getting your wheels painted?

As soon as I get back to CO, in like a month. I found a shop to do it, I've just been out of town.

I'm a little worried about my whole wheel setup honestly. I have the 19" LMGT's spaced out to +15 in the front and rear, but with the coilovers on, I'm kind of worried how it will sit. I wanted to run -1 maybe -2 in the front and rear for HDPE and looks.

What are the specs on yours and your suspension? They looked really good in that picture in the media share thread.
