Square, GTD1 18x10 et 27 wrapped in slicks 285/645/18. Note. I needed to put a 5mm spacer to clear "285" width tires. 275 width, I don't need it.

Cool thanks. Does the car feel pretty neutral with this square setup?

Yes, she feels very neutral now w/ 285 slicks "take offs" all around.

Hi, really nice build. Do you daily it? Was hoping on some input as to what suspension and tire and wheel upgrade I should choose, I plan to daily and track. Any input or advice would be welcomed. Thanks!

I don't DD drive it. Are you planning to keep her for a while? IMO, bypass the Lowering Springs and go straight to Coilovers. In the end, you'll save money and not be compelled to change it right away. KWV3, JRZ Sport, Clubsports etc, etc for street/track would be a good start. As for generic wheel and tire sizes (Volk/Apex offsets) front 18x 9.5 et 22 and 18x10.5 et 34 wrapped in 275/35/18 and 305/35/18 tires. For square 18x10 et 27 with 275/35/18 tires also good. Plenty of different brand of tires out there, but I like the NT01's, RE71's and Pirelli slick take offs. GL 👍

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. I read one of your post about a possible engine build your doing, do you plan to make a thread on the build specifics? That would super entertaining.

Well done OP. I just switched last weekend from stock 18s to Advan GT 19s w/ RE-71Rs for better street grip, but after looking at your photos, I'm still convinced that on a drop, the car looks the best with 18s and fat tires. I hate that I need to choose between the look I want and the grip I'm looking for without compromising on tire profile size. At least the Advans still look like 18s due to the pronounced lip .

The carbahn engine doesn't come with a crank hub solution?

"If you are planning a large power increase with bigger turbos, CARBAHN Autoworks has designed a high-performance engine to handle very high outputs by pinning the cam sprocket to the crankshaft. To ensure durability we also machine the block to accommodate a full circle thrust main. In addition, we utilize higher quality racing Carrillo connecting rods and forged CP pistons."

I read the above on their site, hence I didn't quite understand the need for OP to install the Turner 1 piece crank hub solution as well.

For now all these are just part of my wish list. I learned something new. Thanks

Ok thank you for clarifying. Assumed this was work already done.

On the other hand does Turner run these Gintani 1 piece in any of their shop cars?

I really don't know.

You're literally my inspiration for building my f82. Hope to meet at the track one day!

Thanks

Plenty of time to clean them in midst of Covid 19. Scary what 2 months can look like if this continues.

They're just wheel castors to help move car around in very tight spaces.

I like it. It compliments well with Coilovers and all the other suspension bits I've added to the car. She's not the least bit mushy or sloppy during hard acceleration, braking and turns. I've been happy with my suspension set up. Thanks.
