I have an 03 with VDC, no problems at all. Even on the track for a lap if I forgot to turn off VDC.

My 03 has TCS. My back tires are slightly smaller (0.02") than the front and I've never had any issues. But I have heard that VDC is more sensitive.

I wish I didn't have that system, same goes for the TPMS... it's more annoying than it is functional.

Anyways, here's some better shots of my fitment with a clean car this time.

Fhumphrey04, your nismo is MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!! (If it were me, I'd add some 5 or 10mm spacers to the rear to complete the look) Don't listen to the guy hating on your rear bumper, it looks sick and its actually functional.

Looks great fhumphrey. The tread pattern on those Vredestein's looks tough too. I agree with Brandon that a spacer in the rear (maybe 10mm?) will finish it off nicely.

IMO I wouldnt throw on spacers unless you plan to lower the rear some more, otherwise its just going to make that gap much more obvious. Id say its perfect as it is, no need to modify.

Thanks guys!

The rear doesn't look as aggressive because it isn't as low as the front, but it is. Regarding the rear bumper- it's definitely wild and quite a controversial piece on here. Some days I think about changing it for an OEM + TS diffuser, but this is a Nismo and the rear bumper is a signature piece.

exactly, i wasnt hate`n like that one guy said. I just was saying when i do my exterior, which isnt a true nismo, i`ll be setting mine up slightly different. I wouldnt touch the rear either if i had a true nismo. Nice and love your style!

Need some help picking tires for new set up.

Currently running:
19x9.5 +22 255/35
19x10.5+22 285/35
Lowered with Greddy coilovers less than a finger gap in the rear with a minor fender roll, spl rear camber arms, spc toe bolts, spl toe arms and spc front camber arms.

My new set up will be:
19x9.5+22
19x11+15

What tires should I run next? I plan to stick with 255/35 front or go wider?. Will 285/35 be safe to run in the rear or will need some more negative camber or roll the fender more? At the moment I found out there is some bondo on 1 quarter panel but I do plan to get body work done soon but need to take care of a few other things... Can I go larger tires without out rolling the fender more? More negative camber?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Eric
