Thanks guys. I'll probably take the single wheel this weekend to get rid of the rash. Tires the next. I'll keep updating this post.

Not a fan of stretched tire setups but you gotta do what you gotta do, and the look is going to be bad as$, so should be worth it. Maybe you can get by w/ a 255?
Im with him. Those wheels are going to look great in that color on your car. Get the rash fixed, mount them up, post pictures then have a beer. In that order please.

LoL. Have patience people!

I took my car to get aligned this morning. Taking care of the rash this Saturday. I found a local shop to get tires from, but they need to order them. I'll have them mounted early next week.

Will take pics then.

How will those wheels survive with no protection from the (rubber band) tires?

I'm going to do a full detail within the next week or so. I'll wait until then to post pics.

They're far from rubber bands. They're 35 series, which is what most people on this forum run. I had the same wheel and tire size before (Work VS-XX) for about 2 years. Never had an issue.

He's running 10.5 width wheels all around and 245/35/20.

I know he's on coilovers, but I forget the brand. I don't know the details on the conversion.

How could you fit 10.5 GTR rims on the rear? If I'm not mistaken the offset is like +25, fender rolling?

I just ran a bit of camber and a stretched tire. The rear fender already comes rolled from the factory. Had to trim a little of the fender liner. No biggie.

The wheels are for sale by the way. I'm going with a step lip wheel this time around.
