Help With Decision ?

[japmatic]

Evening all,

I have my mate holding his set of Uras NS01 for me that I am planning on using as track wheels for the M35. I will be running semi slicks on them (have not decided on tyres yet).

They are 17x8 +30 which is the same as my daily rims only they are 18x8.

Heres how they fit/look on the Stagea, they look tiny as they have 215/40s on them, I will most likely run 245/50 all round. I am also not running low enough.

The other option is R33 GTR stockies as they are forged and would make the smarter choice but are twice the price of the NS01s.

Opinions on sizes would be much appreciated. Trying to keep the wheels them selves to under $800

Cheers

Cameron

running 16's when on the track should help with acceleration if you bring the diameter down.

Will also help getting the car a bit lower...lol

If you are going to run them on the track only don't stuff around get slicks (second hand are cheap). What makes you think your car's not low enough? Have you got adjustable suspension?

I can't run 16's as I am planning on upgrading my brakes and I don't think 16s would fit.

I would use them on things like mountain runs and so on too so thats why I am wanting semi slicks.

Just does not look low enough, with the 18s on it (look at the rear wheel on the last pic) there is a few cm of gap. Also, the grey mouldings at the bottom do not help, they just make it look higher still.

I have adjustable suspension but it is only height adjustable, the damper is as standard. It can be a bit bouncy sometimes so thats why its at that height. I will be upgrading to Silkroad 8way adjustable coilovers asap.
