17 x ugly. Sorry, it's an opinion.

It's difficult to tell, seeing as the majority of the rubbed is concealed by the fenders. Someone here is bound to know.

I know the setup, the guy is on Nasioc.

It's at least a 10" wheel that's for sure.

Those fenders are pretty wide and it looks like they just ate up the wheels and tires.

He needs to go with 18x11's and 295 set up.

so, why didn't you go wider?

custom order wheels and all...

plus your little 5x100 complex doesn't help your cause either.

You dirtbag! If I knew you back then I would have consulted you

theres nothing wrong with 5x100, just more of a challenge finding wheels. if i wanted easy, i would have gotten a 350z rocking 18x11.5's

s you should've brought them with you to Japan and just dropped them off at work and asked for a new offset

that's a single day turn around right?
