Sorry if you misunderstood me but I'm talking about it hitting the swaybar or LCA. Lower offset wheels will give you more angle before hitting either. What are the dimensions of the current wheels?

iono, i think that fitment is good. It shouldnt really be hiiting the lca or sway.. Maybe unless u upgraded the tierods, or added tierod spacers,or cut/weld the spindles it will be rubbing... wiidee fenderrss is the key once u get to that point...i tried pulling my stock front fenders with heat gun and a rollbar and then it became fugly lol... the stockfenders can only strecth so much because its soo thin, until it starts to dent.

Who builds a drift car and keeps stock angle?

PS: Do you type like that on purpose or are you seriously retarded?

Your wheels are Rota P45Rs right? How heavy are they?

yikes haha i also thought rotas also... **** id rather risk scuffing rotas then volks any day hahah

about this offset iv been debating on a set of 9.5's @ 20+ i also see some spacers, of course you need them in the front but do the rears clear? and how thick are the spacers?

mucho props good sir. i see re side steps, any future front bumper in mind or at the works already?

ps bookmarked

Sorry, but Volk doesnt make those rims. If anything they would be Nismo LMGT4s, made by Rays, not Volk. And Nismo rims don't come in time attack. Rota on the other hand makes an 18x9.5 +20 P45R. So stop pretending.

Plus you can tell they are Rotas because of how sharp the spokes edges are. If you look the LMGT4 are much more rounded. Rotas are much more sharp.


Feel free to take a pic of the "Made in Japan" imprinted in the outer face of the rim because its not on the Rotas.

The wheels look like TE37 time attacks. The Equips looked better on that car imo

The color yes, the wheel no, at least to me. TEs are 6 spoke. These are 5.

Sorry to be the one to point this out...and no offense to the informed guy up there...but who the hell cares about the wheels on it, when it has a cage, a spot for a fuel cell, rear mounted battery, and is definitely going to be sick as hell when its done?

Granted with steelies it wouldnt be as bad ***...but I'd still rock it.

Ha, I have nothing against Rota P45Rs, in fact I have them as fronts on my drift setup. I just not a fan of faking them as something else (aggressively I might ad) even if it isnt the owner talking. They do look good though and so does this car

i knew it... p45r they are. shoot like burtoncr said they are badd ***. im this close to getting either the p45rs' or the torques @ 9.5 +20

those steering quickeners look sick also... and cost effective from what iv found. but how would it feel on the street? how many less rotations till you lock on a 2:1?
