They look good, but damn, that's tight. That's why I opted for the Advan T7's instead of the NT03's when I was looking at them. I didn't want my caliper clearance to be so small and I didn't want to use spacers to offset it. I like measuring caliper clearance in inches, not mm.

 

Hey hey, same Enkei setup as I'm running for DD wheels!

 

Yo Tony do you have G37 journey with Sport Package on the lot at the dealership? My cousin's looking for one right now.

 

i'm checking on the car right now with sales, i'll pm you in a few...

(sorry don't mean to thread hijack)

 

Or more likely so that you can put an accurate tire pressure gauge on one and the air line to fill them on the other.

I guess you would be able to purge them of non-nitrogen air components with 2 valves, but I am not sure if you would really get enough benefit on a street care to make it worth while.

 

Measure in inches? Why is that? AP recommends a minimum of 3mm for heat expansion of the caliper under extreme track conditions.

I'm not running any spacers and I'm good to go...

 

LOL, I'm just saying that I wasn't comfortable with clearances that tight, which is why I ended up not getting the wheels even though I really did like them. To get the clearance where I wanted , was going to take a 10 mm spacer at a minimum and I'm not a huge fan of spacers.

 

The spacers will only help if the caliper is close to the spokes on the rim. The Enkei's are not very close to the spokes, but the caliper is actually close to the barrel of the rim.

I think you're mixing up the difference in clearance between the spokes and the barrel of the rim cause the Enkei's are not even close... they're actually about the same if not better than my 19" Luff's in that respect.

 

I'd be confused if you meant the >3mm of clearance you mentioned in the first post was in regards to the barrel, and not the back of the spokes to the caliper. I thought you were referring to the spoke since it didnt look like there was a lot of room in the first pic.

When I looked at the Enkei's I was told by some people there was only about 5-7mm of space between the caliper and spoke, and others said it wouldn't clear the face. It didn't help that the only people I know that were running them with AP brakes were using spacers so I couldn't get a straight answer at the time. Since my GT-7's had fitment issues I was gunshy about them since most dealers wouldn't give me a confirmed answer and were hesitant to sell them. It swayed me away since I really wanted 15-20 mm of spoke clearance at a minimum and it didn't look like the Enkei's would offer that.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

dual stems are for total nitrogen plurge, one inlet, one outlet.

lookin' good kiddo-

so when you gonna get the rest of your body kit? :P

 

Glad you dumped the Luff wheels. Good move!

 

The rest of the nismo body kit is still on my list of Z mods, but this mod set me back for a bit.

Being married doesn't leave a lot of extra cash in the account each month... you'll find out soon enough my friend.

 

^^^
you need some moh powah to push those 295s buddy. it's ok. i'll let you drive my car again when u want to blow the mortgage payment on a pair of turbos.

 

I definitely want to add some turbos once my 75k extended warranty is up... you'll be the first person I call!

btw: The Toyo's are very smooth and the car is running great. My previous 19's were getting pretty bald in the rear, so it was the perfect time to upgrade.

 

Wow , nice ride

 

If i had the cash I'd do just that, since I have surpassed the 75K mark, a possible setup like Cheston's minus the rainbow stickers...

 

i've always loved Enkei wheels.

your setup is very clean, soon to be the owner of RPF1s. 18" FTW!!!
