I want them mostly for looks and a little sense of security. I know if someone really wants them, they will do anything to steal them. My car sits in a garage until iI go back to Arkansas. As a precaution to theft, I have a very sensitive alarm on my car. It goes off if someone taps the thing or a loud exhaust is near it.

Ill probably buy lugs next week and post pics the next time im home. thanx for the advice man

18x9.5+12 18x10.5+15

Both look hot but I prefer the set on the GTR. I'm pretty sure both neither will fit our cars without fender modifications.

Sure they will. The fronts might be a little tight though, nothing a tiny stretch can't solve (and I mean very slight).

They both look good, depends on if you want 18s or 19s. I personally like 19s on Z's more.

Man I wish I could speak Japanese. If you go to Yahoo Japan Auctions, there are LMGT4's all over the place.

Pretty sure those are fake, they were never listed from Rays in that size:

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...?modelName=GT4

The box with +00 that you posted is an obvious sticker.

Regarding your sizing, I think you will be happy with the 19's.

They are legit and have been discontinued for awhile. If you wish to buy them I can get them but cost quite a bit. whats listed on the rays site is sizes thats currently available to buy. I'm hardcore nismo fanboy so I always bump into rare nismo stuff shopping through japan sites

I think i'll order a set of 19x9.5 +12 and 19x10.5+15 just got to see if there is stock at rays (if not then thats 3 weeks turn around time and international shipping)

I can get them directly from japan from either rays (sizes on the chart in white silver bronze only) or auctions (perfect for limited edition ones or getting lucky on a used set for a bit cheaper)

Idk, late model Vettes do that these days -- cool look pretty cool. IMO, for it to "work" I would have to run at least a 245/35/18 in the front to go with the 275/35/19 in the rear; otherwise, it will look like you got way too much sidewall/tire up front.

Why not 17" up front and 18" out back?




17x9.5 (front) and 18x10.5 (rear)

what I ment by 18s and 19s is the 18s are concave and 19s are lipped.

I would run 17s but they not to far away in price range for 18s and I was having clearance problems running 18's w/ coils on toronto streets.
