Christmas came early!

My wife got her shopping done early, guess I'd better buy her a real Coach purse this time instead of a china knockoff
Wheels are Nutek Bavaria BC5 Matte Black 8.5"x20" +40 front, 10"x20" +45 rear. Tires Toyo Proxes 4 Plus 245/35/20 & 295/30/20. Hats of to Lance (1cleanG) for hooking me up w/ Kris at GOTO racing, he bent over backwards to get the offsets exactly as I wanted and kept me well informed throughout the transaction. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for G parts. Lance & Kris are co-owners GOTO Racing Online

Fronts are about 7mm from the inner fender edge (I had previous wheels spaced to be almost flush but they'd hit the under liner too often so I wanted them back a bit more. The rears are 2mm from the inside fender edge, exactly what I wanted.
Amazing how well the G feels planted w/ the wider tires and traction is no longer an issue, G launches rock solid.
The wheels were recently released from Nutek and a few Lexus IS have them but I think I'm the first G. At any rate, couldn't be happier

Man, that looks good dude. I'm loving the blacked out look.

So much so that I am going to do it, too, eventually.

Thanks a lot MACS, yep, pretty happy w/ the stealth look, maybe the cops won't be able to pick it up w/ their radar
Of course your wheels are just a "tad" lighter, lol.

I love a nice 5 spoke wheel. I'll probably end up with those new Proxes4 Plus.

Thanks Sniper, I think you'll be happy w/ those tires. If I happen to run into some snow soon I'll report back on how they do.

Looks Awesome! Love those wide tires in the rear. Were they able to get the rear camber in spec?

Thanks a lot. I didn't have to re-adjust my alignment, had it checked and it was still in spec. The +45 rear offset was exactly the space needed to tuck the 295s with -1.2 camber. I could've went w/ a slightly more aggressive offset (since the wheels were cut from blanks) but didn't want premature tire wear from increased camber.

Dude, that looks bad-****. The off-set looks spot on to me. That is exactly how I would do it. A nice BBK would look killer between those spokes.

I see the 295s fit very nicely in there

Blnewt...I'm jealous!!! Those wheels go well with your setup. Hopefully I'll have my wheels sometime in spring. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Sunny for your offset help, you didn't have any doubts (but I did, lol)

Thanks Bota, look forward to seeing your new shoes in a few months, then it'll be my turn to be jealous
