    Hey man hook me up with some fatter ones..... Now I'm looking to go 18x11-12 wide with 0 offset. They should fit. You might have to stretch the tire a tad. I'm just trying to remember the stock sizing on the gtr ones... Because they fit good on a gts. Me personally I would say they will fit with no problems but I'm not one hundred percent sure

    It will fit just fine.. You might need spacer for better stance.. @ 45offset your putting it more inwards than outwards.. GTST's stock offset is 40 I believe..

    Yea, but on a 6.5" rim, on an 8.5" rim a +45 would be just right on a GTS. A little "battle ship" though on a GTR. If they were 17's you might be getting a little close to the rear tie rod ends, but with 18's you should be fine. Put some 255's on there and it will look mean.

    Sounds good, I might be picking up a set of Volk vr-x 18x8 32offset 18x9 37offset now there cheaper bit will need some tlc, however they do have a 4 center caps so that's a plus

    EDIT: well I just bought the rims I was looking at! I think I got a good deal on them I got $200 off on the asking price! There are pics of them in my build thread! Thanks for the help guys!

    I need to get a set of vs-xx rims:

    I'm looking for 2 18x11/or 11.5 with low offset and 2 18x 10 with a low offset. If anyone knows where to get a set of these at a good price let me know

    Should be fine. That width will look better with a +40, you also have the option of going with 10 mil spacers in the future and doing a small roll. Should look fine!

    Josh's car has +40 Type C's i think. With spacers, it fills out the GTR wells nice.

    thanks marc!
