vrbigdish: 1) You car looks awesome!
2) Are your rears 11" or is that a typo, I didn't think Volk made a 11" TE37. The tire does look more stretched than my 10.5
GT-S with 255/35 though...

its 11in, ya in 5x114.3 only 10.5s but i am rocking 5x130 LOL(i got a good deal on them)

Thanks for the input everyone. I can't believe i bought varrsteons either, shows how desperate i was to get wheels at the time. I still have the stock tails so ill prolly throw them back on.

bmccann: If you log back into this thread I would like to see the results. As you probably have already figured out a long time ago everyone has their own opinions. Do you, people always have something negative to say no matter how good or bad you are at something. I honestly think you could pull the look off with the wide body kit you have.

20's get dwarfed on a widebody setup. I've seen 22's on a stock body z and of course they looked huge and outlandish but I believe with your setup you can pull it off. There is nothing better than proving people wrong. Also, the people telling you that you shouldn't be putting 22's on a sports car are the same people running extreme amounts of camber to the point that there tire contact patch is diminished to the point of having little traction.

Better yet some of these people are also FI and still running a really aggressive setup as if that is helping their car perform better. There is a reason why exotics don't come from the factory with super aggressive offsets because it doesn't approve performance but hurts the performance figures. My point is this take what people say with a grain of salt and keep it moving. Anyhow, I hope you do post your setup, f what people have to say. Half of the people in the thread said that aggressive fitting wheels are retarded.

Now most of them only approve of aggressive fitment but jock other forum members like it is going out of style. You are doing it for looks and so are they at the end of the day. None of them are doing it for better performance, so don't let them play that card on you...pleassssssseeeeeee. Do you, is all I'm saying!

bigdish looking sick man! I have a similar setup to yours but all black. Can't wait to get some good pictures.

PS - I'm sitting a hair above you and have been toying with the idea of really laying it out, but authentic Nismo aero pieces are NOT cheap!

And Al@phatrides, nice 510. What chassis are you running? I have a Tamiya TT-01 but if I ever feel like blowing some money one day I'd love to grab an HPI.
