Fuga 350 GT-R

Posted this already on FA, but i've uploaded pics to my cardomain, check it out. As far as M's go with the OEM GTR wheels, I think mrmark's Gloria pulls it off best.

But overall I'm happy with the look so far on mine:

[mrbigruss]

Wow! This is beautiful!

[hoaapple]

WOW! That is super nice! How much did those wheels set you back if you don't mind me asking?

[edwin711]

Looks real good is that a brembo brake kit. Are the wheels replicas or oem. Do u mind sharing what they cost you

[mrbigruss]

HEY THOSE ARE MY RIMS!!! I BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM!!!!!

Ouch, I think I had seen that GTR pic before...guess it at least reminds me to get a wheel lock set, at least so I hopefully wont be a victim of opportunity, but realize if someone wants them/it, they'll figure out a way.

Wheels came off 2010 GTR, they werent in mint condition, but very good. I'd been actively for searching for a reasonably priced set of these wheels for at least 5 mos. and started looking into them as an option a year ago. Was watching GTR forums mostly for them, bought off a guy who tracks his GTR and sounded like he had three sets of wheels for it and wanted to move these. For just the rims, shipped, w/ TPMS I paid like ~ $1600. THese can definitely be had for that price. Spent another $1200 on BStones 760s 255 35 and 275 30.

I thought I was going to have to have the TPMS "re-calibrated" or something for the car, but nope, the car senors recognize them and send the data to the ecu it seems. Same brand and model by Schrader, or something like that.

The Akebono BBK, straight bolt on, OEM Nissan! Definitely OEM Nissan wheels also.
All OEM, All the Way!

Did have to roll my fenders and dial in -3.2 camber to get the rears to tuck tho!

[edwin711]

Those must of cost u a fortune look good. Where u grab the bbk from?

You sure these are off 2010 GTR, I know the 2010 wheels have +20 all around, but the 2009 are +25 rear and +45 front. I got 2009 and had to find all 4 fronts with +45 to run on my car, i didnt want to do any fender work.
Car looks great!

Anyone looking for 2009 rear GTR wheels I have 2 wheels with tires and tpms. pm me

[BlinG*]

[kermit the guy]

car looks good !! your running 275 in the rear , i too was running 275 and i had rubbing just a ta when i rode 2 people in the back , so i went to a smaller width and went lower and no more rubbing and no fender work !that sucks what they did to that skyline!!! they did that to my bros car , took the rims and just dropped it on the spare tire dumb idiots!!!

[CPJ LB]

Actually no not 100% positive, I'll ask the guy. Can discern by looking at the markings on the wheel? Everything I found re: the wheels is that all the rears, 2009 - 2011, are +25.

Assuming the 2010's are +20, that would mean they stick out by about 5mm more then correct?

Did you consider taking the rears to a machine shop and having ~ 5mm worth of material taking off the rear bolt/hub of the wheel? It'd give you a little extra clearance, not sure I'd be enough sans fender work, but with some camber work it might be.

I posted a pic of my preliminary fitment of the rears over at FA forums, and without any camber/fender work the rubber/wheel was sticking out a good 3/4 - 1"+

usually on the inside it will say ET## for ur offset inside the spokes.

sourced most of the BBK parts from Concept Z Performance, they're in AZ.

cool...

Bag-alicious bro!

All that and a (air) bag of chips!

sorry couldn't resist...

[ctsedan]

Here is mine with +45 all around, which is the front wheels from 09 GTR.

[mexillis]

Looks good ctsedan. What size tires do you have on em and what are you lowered on?

[ctsedan]

Tires are stock GTR fronts size 255/40-20 all around. Im dropped on Tein H-techs I believe.

Offset definitely "25", like you said stamped in the back of one of the spokes.

Good job finding two pairs of fronts, I was scared I might have to do the same thing if I couldn't get the fairly minor fender/camber adjustments to get the rears to tuck.

What did you do with respect to the TPMS sensors? Did you re-install the ones from the stock rims?
I noticed that the sensors on my car recognized the ones that came with the set I purchased, which were used but apparently same brand and model #'s. So glad I didn't have to do any adjustments/updates there.

I am noticing the left rear slightly rubbing on something in/under the fender when I go over a quick elevation decrease at fwy speeds. So needs to figure out what's going on there...so there is a level of headache involved it seems with putting on the 10.5's, but I sure do like the additional traction and look of fatness in the rear.

Are you sure you're on HT's, and not the ST's or whatever the more aggressive springs are. Seems like maybe your front is a little lower than mine?

[mexillis]

You could just be rubbing on the carpet liner inside the fenders. His tires are bigger profiles which may be giving that look.

what tire size did you go with in the rear to not have rubbing and no body work? Just purchased the 2009 GT-R wheels..I am looking for some insight. I am on eibach springs.

[mexillis]

^ 245/35/20 or a 255/35/20 will work

[dimataeus]

what would you suggest for the front tires? stock size?

[mexillis]

Stock tires from a gtr have a larger rolling diameter than ours so I wouldn't personally use them. The sidewall thickness is to large and over 3% in difference. It all depends on what look you want for you set up, if you want the stretched look all around go with a 225 upfront and 245 in the back. There are numerous ways to go. 245 all around or 255 all around, that would give the most sidewall protection and have the least amount of stretch.

i was thinking of just getting 245/35/20 all around, but i tested fitted the wheels and the rear wheel sticks out about an inch and a half. so im afraid even with that stretch the rears wont fit. Is it possible to throw more camber with out having to get adjustable camber arms/ control arms?
