GTR wheels on my 09 FX35

[Lerry@ARKperformance]

I finally decided to get GTR wheels for my 09 after waiting and contemplating for almost a year now. I got the 2010 GTR wheels gun metal off a buddy of mine. Looks very good on the car and gives it a very nice wide stance in the rear. The rear tire sticks out just a tad bit and the front is not exactly very flush either, off by maybe 5-10mm. I stuck on yokohama parada spec-x (much quieter than stock) 275 front and 295 rear. Now let the pictures speak more than 1000 words :smile (2):

This is the rear tire sticking out just a bit


Just cleaned the wheels so more pictures soon!
Also I'd like to thank the forum for helping me make the right decisions so no problems creeped up!

Need a drop now! I remember when I put mine on I was just oh that looks cool. Then after the coilovers it looked so much better.

Matches great with the FX paint color! Just needs a nice drop now to finish it off.

Sweeet you need some spacers on the front now! I take it no rubbing ? I can't wait to put it in my 09 OB now

 

[Lerry@ARKperformance]

yup no rubbing, thinking about 15mm spacers up front from ichiba

Just wondering, why did you go with a smaller tire up front? 275/45/20, right?

yeah they are 275/45R20, I just wanted the front and rears to match, no other big reason. I asked one of the members on IS what size they were running on their FX and said 275/45R20 so I just decided to run the same tires as him, everything worked out perfect

 

[StuLax18]

What is the rear tire then?

 

[Lerry@ARKperformance]

295/45r20

 

[StuLax18]

Those aren't the same size tire. I wish they were because I wanted 275/45 over a 265/50. Your front is about .5 inches shorter. Should be 29.8" and 30.6" OD, give or take depending on manufacturer.

 

[Lerry@ARKperformance]

oh...its barely noticeable, i think the gtr originals came with 265s in the front too

Those wheels look really good. I like how they look with the color of your FX.
