I'm so jealous, your car looks great and the wood grain paint on everything is absolutely perfect! Love the door sills, the turbo, the air, and all the other custom work. By far one of the most customized fits on the site.

I'd never go VIP because I enjoy the racing look more but I love your car.

low offset should give more clearance, are you brakes low disk?

I'm sorry but I think you're wrong

I'll give an example, My old galant came stock with a +46 offset, in order to fit Evo Brembos we needed to run around a +35 offset

It's all about spoke design and the presence of a lip

It all depends on the size of the wheel too. What width were your galant stock wheels.

A x6 +35 has way different clearance than x7 or x8 +35

yeah i thought about that after posting, but there a 9.5" wheels that wouldn't clear evo brembos because the wheels were flat face with a huge lip

The offset wouldnt be the case. It's all about the spoke design, full faced fat lip or less lip outer spoked. I run no lip and have a TON of clearance, but that was also the look I was going for.

cool, good to learn new info, but the fact is we tested those and won't fit, so i guess my wheel designs won't allow me to fit big brakes

Felix when you do go K, Will the fit still be the Daily Driver or will you use the Skyline and the Fit as fun cars and just get something to drive around like during the winter?
