Default 20" Track Wheels? GTR Sizing DPE Forged Monoblock Test Fit

Had a chance to test fit some newly released DPE monoblock wheels tonight before they shipped out to a GTR owner, didn't get too many great pics but here they are anyway in case anyone wants to check them out.

Wheels and tires are spec'd for a 2009 Nissan GTR so specs might be a bit off from standard 370Z fittment but they seem to be really close to what I'd run if I was wanting a set of 20" track wheels.

20x10.5 front w/Toyo 888 285/35/20
20x11.0 rear w/Toyo 888 315/30/20

Front looks like it could go out another 5-10mm if car was lowered with a bit of negative camber. As it sits now there is no rubbing but inner clearance to the suspension arm/spindle is close.

Rear can go wider as well since there's still 1.5" clearance to the nearest suspension parts on the inside (traction rod & shock body). Outside is a good fit but could come out another 5-10mm if car was lowered with negative camber, especially if running a slightly narrower tire.

Could really use some larger brakes under these huge wheels, anyone make some 16" rotors?

Wheels are DPE Monoblock MT-20 which uses the new concave forging, these were done in a custom gold/bronze color which is very nice in person.
