    well it all depends to be honost quite some time since i heard just a few weeks, but if the wait will be a month or more i think ill want the deposit back, since the drift season is already started. might as well wait for next year to pull a new look.

    Hope that the ET0 will be home to next year:P

    Ive got 50mm wider rears and I can get away with putting a 10mm spacer on

    any more than -19 on the front and youre asking for trouble...

    You have no IDEA the amount of work Ive had to do to get these to work on the front.. and the car doesn't handle that great as a result either....

    Maximum positive caster with DW front tension rods, tubbed front inner arches and hammered the fk out of front rear inner arches with no loom gromits or arch guard lips.

    Even then they are about 5mm from the front rear inner arch with about a 50mm drop on full lock.

    No worries mate, didn't think you were Just agreeing that they could be more agressive offset wise but only for the rear..... IMO the front just doesn't seem to work for me

    I really cant see the rears getting any lower offset.

    If you want a more crazy wheels, go 18x12 ET0 GTRs, that's about the maddest we have at the moment

    I think if you want to get more agressive than -19 on a less than 10J it will deffo have to be spacers...

    Carta, Do you have these wheels for the front then? or have you run serious negative offset on the front before?

    How did you manage it with regards to clearance?

    17x8.5 ET0 in all of the colours are on order. I hope to get a confirmed list of our next delivery or two this week, they didn't come on the last delivery that was last week.

    Ive got 10 -18 on the front of the 350 ............. it took 25mm spacers to clear the Brembos and then about +70mm on the arch to make them fit ............
