The fronts will stick out a bit, but the rears will definitely need guard rolling, even a 10.5 +18 rim needs massaging in, with negative camber etc.

I like the rims personally, but not a fan of chrome, especially if you are going to keep the exterior of the car mainly stock

Edit: will still definitely look tough as though

nice choice... personally i wudnt go different size wheels on a GTR it tends to mess up the ATTESSA.

Widths and ofsets shud be ok tho, depending on how low u drop the car...

im not a fan of chrome BUT im a big fan of SSR's

exterior will be pretty stock just the rims and ill drop it just a little

personally i wudnt go different size wheels on a GTR it tends to mess up the ATTESSA.

thats wat im scared about!!!!

the front and rears are both 18 inch

but

the rears are wider then the fronts <----- that should be o.k???? shouldnt it?????

front: 18x9.5+10

rear: 18x10.5+5

as long as your rolling diameter of the wheel (including tyre) is the same front and back then you should be fine.

so staggered wheels are OK, as long as the rears are wider than the front so that ATTESA doesn't think you're constantly losing traction.

however you have to be VERY careful with your tyre selection. If you cheap out and try and stretch tyres on the rears you might not get the rolling diameters right. Or if you do stretch tyres on the rear, make sure the profile of the tyre in front is suitably similar.

With a +5 offset on a 10.5 make sure you clear the strut, as I think it might be sunk too far in. And if you use spacers your wheel might end up sticking out by an inch over a lipped guard.

What ^^ he said. The car will look sexy with the sp1's. Probably look better with the gun metal centre though. Match the paint of your car.

Can you explain what you mean? Most GTR rims are +15 to +22 so these will have an extra 10 to 17mm clearance to the strut?

^ Thats what i thought too, with the wheel sitting further out, further away from the strut

These will look stupid dude. Will stick out too far on the back. Theres a few photos of my gtr in the photos section. I run 19x9.5 +25 offset with 265 tyres. perfect fit no lipping no scrubbing. Cool looking rims but wrong size.

hmm just drew a picture and yeah you're right, it would actually give you an extra 7-10mm of clearance over most GTR wheels.

it'd stick out about an inch and a half outside the guard tho.

^ Yeap, which is where the main problem lies, these wheels are way too fat for a 32gtr without any major guard mods

From memory if you go through the 32 pics on here there is one from WA that looks mental with them. I think they stick out a bit though..
