+12 offset should look pretty mad.

Getting them off Boost Automotive, Brad's got the best price I found. I'm also getting some tyres off him, amazing price also.

18x9.5 +12

I haven't bought them yet, just a test fit today.

Rears are nice a hella flush, heaps of room for everything. Front are a bit of a troll though. I'm going to measure the shit out of everything tomorrow and see what needs to change. to make it work.

Bolt on what? I don't know what you're asking!

I forgot GTR Guards were an option... Does anyone have any? do they bolt straight onto a GTS? Can I keep my blue NA GT badges? pirate.gif

What's the difference between the GTR and GTS guard? are they actually bigger? it's hard to tell in the pics :/ I see the indicator is smaller and there are some extra holes for more trim but that's it?

GTS Guards are so cheap I might as well just get a pipe onto my stock ones yes?

Edit: seems you need the guards, raisers, GTR hinges, bonnet and latch. to have GTR guards... hmm.

Going to get my pole on then. Fitment on these wheels just look too boss to not have.

Still going to paint the rim blue though. Do you think it'll be easier just to brush it on with some awesome modeling paint or something? because masking a perfect circle sounds like it'd be hard to do :/

why not just get a less aggressive offset on the front. its not a gtr so you dont need "gtr" sized wheels. plus wider track in the back will improve stability.

just an idea.

or more camber if you have upper arms?

or put r32 lower control arms in as they are shorter then shorten up the tops.

or dont do the last one.

You're starting to sound like a woman. "less aggressive", "shorter", "don't", Cmon man!

I've already got -4 degrees neg on the front, maybe should wind some more neg on, but I know the dude at beauepairs will have a teary about it then start comparing his KE70 to my car.

yea that may be right. some people say i have a massive V, but it also comes from experience with wheels and fitment or not, just trying to save you the stress and hassle of modifying guards at the track. i can guarantee when you spin off and hit a ripple strip with the wheels hanging out there wont be enough travel to save the guard. getting the correct size now will save in the long run.

Yeah, I'm just yanking your chain, I appreciate your advice and know you've got a wealth of experience :)

The plan is to raise the front about 5mm (it's too low atm anyway) and get my pole on and roll those guards up, wish me luck :D

    • Yeh vibrant looks a bit overpriced, but thats the US market in general, they pay $50k for a gtst...
    • It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.
    • 100% agree. Best bet on an RB will be NEO, but even it will be a long way off. Emissions is one of the big reasons car manufacturers went to DBW and constantly variable cams. When cruising, open the throttle right up, but reduce dynamic compression so low, that it's basically an unrestricted air pump moving very little air.
    • I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.
    • Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
