Guys, this setup is SICK!! I had my doubts going into this but I can attest to VinceThe1's original post.

Performance:
I've driven about 40 miles since the install. Not a single issue. Turns lock to lock with no rubbing. Driving over speed bumps, no rubbing. The RE-11s on the rear feel amazing. The Nismo naturally has a super stiff ride and this hasn't changed much but I can say that the car feels more planted. The gf says the ride feels "smoother". Haven't taken any hard corners yet but I can't wait to see how the car will eat them up now.

Looks:
Fronts have a tiny poke, maybe 1 or 2 mm. Doesn't bug me at all. Love how the taller sidewalls filled some of the original wheel gap. These were my rear Yoko's (285/35).
Rears are completely flush with the fender. According to the tire size calculator, the sidewall is 2.3% smaller. Can't even notice this. They look massive when looking at the car straight from the back or at an angle.

I'm very happy with the outcome. Can't wait to finish off the fronts now (about 4/32 left with some camber wear) and get even more grip up there. Like I said, I've only driven about 40 miles and so far, so good! I'll keep you guys posted.
