BTW: What wheel set and tire are you running on your car? I checked your website but it didn't have much info. Cool videos tho.
Finally our site is getting checked out. JOIN OUR FORUM!!!

I am currently running 17x9+14 all around. But it varies sometimes i like 17x9.5 +5 in the front and 17x10+15 in the rear. Depends on my mood.

I dont have 20mm wide fenders. I just have rolled and slightly pulled in the rear.

Tire size also help determine where the wheel will fit with out massive modification.

Im running 225/45/17 in front and 255/45/17 rear.
But i am changing to 215/45/17 front and 225/40/17 rear.

Did you change because the tires are cheaper or because the wheels fit beter?

The gramlights will most likely be my everyday wheels I am still looking at picking up some old school volk or advans 16x9 or higher with a +12 offset for my drift wheels. Doing the motor swap next though plus its snowing 10 inchs + here so no sence for new rims and summer tires in winter.

BTW, what brand rims and tires are you running?

The rims i am running are Trail Zelda they are a 3 spoke design. I will have pics up as soon as im not lazy.

Tires varies so much. Right now I have Yokohama in the front and Dunlop in the rear.

Dont ruin cool *** old school wheels as drift wheels. Use stocks until you can drift( you may know how to drift but im just guessing since i dont know you).

OH BTW Nismo doesnt make a short shifter. ITs the same length as stock just a different angle and a more solid feel.

Nismo shifter = Solid shifter
BTW, I saw your rims on TF and they look awesome. I love the lip.

I know its a solid shifter not a short shifter and will change my sig to show that. I saw the Trail Zeldas and they look pimp.

Thats the perfect size, except no one seems to list it in 4x114.3. Only 5x114.3. Does that size come in 4 lug and its just rare?
