The T1S Replacements: 2010 Work Gnosis GS-5's in custom finish
After all my dramas with my Varianza T1S, i ordered another set of Work's - this time going for something a little classier / less sporty.
This time i opted for:
Work Gnosis GS-5's
Centers finished in satin matte silver
Dish is stepped and finished in machined satin (which has an interesting ripple texture).
20X9.5 +15 BIG BRAKE R-DISK FRONT
20x10.5 + 23 DEEP TIME O-DISK REAR
I would NOT recommend this offset unless you are planning on running it LOW, or have BAGS.... the wheels stick out around 3cm from the guards at standard driving ride height
These photos were taken with my iphone and are just a trial fitment, as there is a bit of guard work i need to do to actually drive on them!

So as the car goes lower, the camber naturally increases? Doesn't this just cause excessive wear on the tire?
Sorry to hijack thread, but pretty new to wheel/suspension stuff

Using UAS Airbag kit, with standard shocks at the moment - was running RS-R springs.... i was surprised that the airbags actually drive almost as good as the springs! (but with the benefits of being height adjustable)
in regards to offset : if you are running a spring/coilover setup i would recommend probably +10 more offset for an agressive stance (F+25/R+33) the airbags cause the car to camber in A LOT when dropped hence i could get within a mm of the guards.
As shown in the last photo though, when it's jacked the wheels stick out up to almost an inch, which is (IMO) a bit hecktic for the type of car it is (a g37 isn't a drift car)
Tyre wear wont really be a problem, as the car will simply be aligned to my specs @ my drive height, so the huge negative camber when slammed wont really effect it...
... on another note - the photos above aren't showing it's lowest point, only as low as i could go without mulching the inner guards... (was just trial fitting)
i plan to modify the inner guards this weekend, so the car can sit on the bump stops (should sit around an inch lower that the photos above)
will add photos as i do the work!
