Nismo LMGT4's on a sedan again..with a little different spin.

Props to CandlestickPark for beating me to this!
I've been thinking about doing this for awhile since my buddy had a spare set of Nismo LMGT4 18's in Bronze.
18x8.5+25, 18x9.5+30
235/45/18, 240/40/18

BEFORE:
OEM 19's custom painted Gunmetal Metallic


Here are the pics:




Not sure if I'm going to keep them or not..I'm pretty partial to the OEM 19's but I figured I'd give it a shot.

woah, nice Jeff! They look tiny though. I think you would need a pretty moderate drop to really pull these off. None the less, it's different for sure and would looke gnarly with a good drop.

Paint still looks good man! and byee HKS lol. Justin told me he picked it up from you.

hey

Hey, car looks good... as far as drop being a little lower in the rear, get the drop even or a little raked (lower in front)... I recently did this and it made me fall in love with the car once more!

Drop and debadge are in need.

Also paint your calipers black so they don't look so silly.

But other than that, looks awesome. I love bronze/gold wheels. With the right colour car they look soooo good.

19's I plan to sell if I keep the LMGT4's. It's hard to do since the 19s look so perfect on the car...
They are absolutely mint and it's hard to find a mint oem 19" set.

The LMGT4s need a bit of work but we'll see how it all pans out. If you're interested in the 19's let me know, maybe we can work something out.

Sounds good man. When you're ready for the detail, let me know!

NICE! I'd be very interested to hear the MD in person. When you get it put on, let me know!

They only look tiny because you're not dropped enough man, I have 18" Advan RG2's and they look fine on my ride. SLAM IT. Looks good though I like it!

SLAM THAT ****!

clear corners and debadge and you'll be set. Also, consider spacers + negative camber

+10000. OP just drop your car a little bit more and you'll be perfect. The new wheels look wonderful.

Sorta defeats the purpose of 18" wheels on this car wouldn't it?
