    Idunno about you but I would hate to tell people I'm running knockoff wheels. Or parts for that matter.

    Don't need to have top notch 3K wheels buts there's deals out there. Pay to play.

          Alright, i think i narrowed it down.

          LMGT4 18X9.5 +12 - Bronze
          or
          LMGT4 18X9.5 +12 - Silver

          w/either;
          255/40/18
          or
          265/40/18

          Which ever would fit best w/out rubbing and rolling fenders..

            You will want 255/35 or 265/35, 40 is too tall

              I have 18x9.5 265/35r/18 +15 and the fenders absolutley, unquestionably need to be rolled (unless you rock 4x4 status height on your car). I know because I didn't and thrashed $400 worth of tire.

                if i went to a 18x9 can i avoid rolling fenders? the car has nismo stune suspension, its not height adjustable. and im not sure how much lower it lowers a skyline. i have 17x9.5 +12 w/255/40/17 and do no rub.

                  It's all in the offset, I have 17x10s in the rear with a +32 and a 275 tire and no issues at all with rubbing. The front is a 17x9 with a +18 and a 245 and it rubs a tiny bit on the fender liner on hard bumps. If I was +30 in the front I could easily do a 275 in the front as well with the same rubbing issue (minor).

                  If you want "hellaflush" you gotta put up with a lot of BS.

                    Yea, my jetta was lowered with 18x10s and i was flush and somehow didnt rub.. but thats the jetta.

                    Im thinking maybe stick to 17s but i dont wanna after wish to have 18s..or maybe get a good set of coilovers first to be able to play with the height then can get wheels after.

                            Looks good. Question for u, do u wish u had 18s? im thinking of sticking with 17s and run a good size tire, but dont wanna spend the money to wish to have 18s..

                              i dont really wish i had 18's lol. the car came with this fitment and a set of LMGT2's. if i was changing i would probably go with 18's because the wheels im looking at only come in 18 as the smallest size...

                                Yea, I just dont wanna rub at all. I can probable roll my fenders, would rather not but... I have 17x9.5 +12or+15 cant remeber with 255/40 and have no issues. i have nismo s tune suspension so its not as low as you.
