I had to order 19 inch NISMO wheels for $9K!!! So that I can some descent rubber on the car. And I won't get the weels for another 2~3 months. It's killing me.

Congrats on the car, u should have waited little tho, i know toyo has the 20 inch proxes r888 tires coming out for the gtr as well as 2-3 other companies have decent track tires coming out with gtr fitment. It was announced at Sema the other day.

It rides about the same as the stock suspension, pretty comfortable. And I don't change the setting when I take it to the track. I think the KW V3 was the best modification I did on the car.

See this thread for more infor on my setup:

^I've actually decided to go with COBB instead. I'm going to go pick one up at Harman Motive this afternoon. Hopefully, I can get a before and after dyno.

285 is easy. I think I just needed spacers in the front and roll the fender in the rear.

305 is hard. My friend somehow managed to fit that with a custom adapters and rolling his fenders. But it doesn't rub, and has no clearance issures.
