Kazama/cst wheels are identical. IT really doesn't matter. I just know discount tire warranties them if you jack them up.

Yes, i'm getting them. They should look **** with aero....if i ever get it cut and re-assembled proper.

DO NOT BUY CHEAP AERO FROM EBAY. Pay the extra $300 to know that the fitment will be better. It's as if a blind man with down syndrome and no fingers made the mold for my bn skirts.....

My XXR's are officially gone and i'm rocking four SPARES. 135-70-16. It's the most unflush, ugly thing i've ever seen.

Yeah you will. Discount tire is SOLD OUT of the 18x9.5's...... That's fine. Just gives me more time to save up cash for tires and other stuff.

Discount tire told me they'd call when my front wheels arrive (17x9.5) from their distro and will notify me when the 18x9.5's are in stock.

they look horrendous... i got the 17x9.5 +15 all round i need to see how im gonna make these fit!!! i love how they look but... the 25mm fenders were still not wide enough to tuck the wheels in... so oh well thats that...


it hangs out too much for me...

this is with no spacer at all, im beginning to wonder what to do next? i need a higher offset for the front....



and my rears where still hanging out as well ( i have 30mm rear fenders *** well so i used a 30mm spacer to make up the diffrence but i figure im going to need a smaller one...

this is stock fenders with a slight pull and -1.25 camber

Make with the negative camber and more low.




RE Turbo II, your fenders are pulled way more than my fronts were but a 25mm should fit perfect with a bit of stretch on the front.

What size tires are you guys running up front, RE Turbo II specifically because i'm going to be on stock metal for a bit. I wanna get rolling on a gt35r setup and it's either fenders or **** for that.

All 4 of my battles should be in wednesday. I went ahead and got 17's all the way around. Thank god they let me put an order deposit down otherwise i feared i would have been stuck with just a pair. I should say there are only a few more wheels in stock in those sizes in the entire country (for discount tire anyway). 1 bronze 17x9.5 left! Lol. I had to settle for gun metal but i'll prolly polish them and rock cst caps anyway.

215/40 front
225/45 rear

fenders were originally rolled for 17x9 +0 which is why they look like ****

thus

i have psm coils. did you mount the top mounts backwards? they need to be facing a certain way.

its hard to see but they should look like this




if you can see the top of the struts are being pushed in towards the firewall and intercooler. is that what yours look like?

I dunno what to tell ya...... Maybe drill your strut towers to dial the "built-in" castor out.

Alot of guys on here say they dont really notice a difference.





I feel your pain. I've bucked my fender in some spots....there just isn't enough meat to pull them out far enough AND have it look good.

midnight did you pay attention to the top hole where the coil bolts to the hub? its notched so you can get more camber
