broomie Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Im thinking about buying these 12x18 and modding my rear arches to fit, what you think? http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c338/jamie450x/8x12.jpg winners there look spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 If only they did them gtr-d in a sensible offset i would have been all over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 You need about 40-50mm to get them on, i think wide arches are the only option, im thinking something like what wayne did with his, keep the stock body look, do it over the winter. http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/supradibbs/DSC00588.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/supradibbs/DSC00642.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/supradibbs/DSC00646.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/supradibbs/DSC00644.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s79/supradibbs/007-7.jpg Yep, that's the same idea I had if Arch Enemy couldn't do what I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 That would be the GTR, surely? na mate no where near as nice and nowhere near the dish of the 18x12 gtr-d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 na mate no where near as nice and nowhere near the dish of the 18x12 gtr-d My point entirely Basically, to get the dish you need the mad off-set. Without the mad off-set all you have is a GTR, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 My point entirely Basically, to get the dish you need the mad off-set. Without the mad off-set all you have is a GTR, no? yep! sounds like it. i'd be happy to go 18x10 with a mad offset but they only do the 18x12 in this look/dish ....

EdMorris Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I really liked the look of Waynes car once all that arch work was done. Looked very well executed. What bodyshop would guys recommend these days? GVN did my paint but I think they're out of business now as the workshop is all boarded up.

JamieP Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Ordered the wheels from Paul, picking them up early next week. Matt black rota gtr-d front 9.5x18 rears 12x18 The car will most likely be going into Rob after suprapod for widening the rear arches, doing a similar thing to what wayne did, keeping the stock look. Lets hope i get some serious grip now:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 You're on the slippery slope JP. It'll start with the arches, then before you know it, it'll be 90% fibreglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm after a place to do a small repair/spray my lip spoiler. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
