That looks like the Garrett equivalent to the HKS GT3037S (just half the cost ;))

Good work Shannon.

Wheels look magic with the car!! Nice look! :P

Do you think you'll need some rolling of the guards, despite your negative camber at the rear??

No they fit fine but the car is that low that i need to either raise it or go down from a 295 tyre to a 285 or 275. We worked out you could go a 12 inch rim with coilovers

fROM MY RESEARCH THE TYRE MOST SUITED IS A 285/30/18 AND NANKANG DO A NS2 FOR ABOUT $210 EACH.
i WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN SIZE AND OFFSET AND HOW MUCH ROOM TO OUTSIDE GUARD ON FULL COMPRESSION - I TAKE IT THEY ARE CHARLIE'S

They were Charlies now they are mine

I think i will need to raise it a touch for a 285 tyre. Oh and i got excited when i saw them but i didn't yell rofl

Steve, the rear wheels are 18 x 10.5 with approx. -10 offset. Front spacing is 157mm and back spacing is 138mm to edge of wheel lip. With the coilovers, there is another 40mm of space for wider wheels. The 295's wuld fit perfectly if the offset was 0.

The fronts are 18 x 9 with about +12 offset. Front spacing is 114mm, backspacing is 142mm. The offsets may not be exact as I had to measure them myself because the wheels don't have any markings on them. I would suggest a +5 to +9 offset just to give that little bit extra tyres to strut clearance.

And yes, a 12 inch wide wheel could easily be accomodated in the rear with the right offset and tyres ;)

I absolutely love these wheels, but since I no longer have any use for them, they naturally had to gravitate to another widey. They suit Shannon's car perfectly.

Got the radiator in now and just had to take one more pic with dish

I just bought a set of full slicks off a porsche cup car for $100 that suit these rims spot on.
