Having said so, I always screw around with different setups. It has always been very gratifying to 'upgrade' then upgrade again and again .....

I was just offering you and out... *haha* Trying to save you some money.

But, trust me, you will like the coils better.

Would you say that color is about the same darkness as the stock brake calipers, lighter/darker??

Also, you said you were running 18mm spacers, front, was that on the rear too?
I have 15mm all around, running 255/305 tire set up, you think that will be ok?

Thanks

The K11 color is lighter than the calipers. It's roughly the same color as the 09 GT-R wheels. Of course the 10 GT-R is a darker blackish color that is probably very close to the calipers on our cars.

I am now running 15mm spacers in the front and thinking of going with 15mm in the rear. The 18mm was a tad bit too agressive and some rubbing occured. The 13mm is good, but I think I want it a tad more aggressive in the rear. But, my spacer sizes can be drastically different than yours unless you are running the OEM Nismo wheels and not the S-Tune ones from a dealer.

Cool, thanks for the info

So in the pics, you have 13mm spacers in the rear and will switch out for 15mm? I have the same factory Nismo wheels (not installed yet) and I have a set of 15mm Ichiba spacers mounted with my sport wheels.

The sample I picked up from the powder coater is slightly lighter then the calipers, it was Cardinal GR-02. My car is Platinum Graphite, so I just want a slightly darker shade for contrast. I think I will cruise over to the Nissan dealer and check out the GTR wheels for comparison. Thanks

Those Teins are definitely a consideration for a future mod, I just have Eibach springs on right now, but looking to get about 1/2 more drop.

For true comparison, make sure you look at the wheels on an 09 GT-R and not the 2010. And yes, in the pics there are 13mm spacers on the rear and I want to go with 15mm. I think 15mm front and 15mm rear is perfect for the Nismo wheels.

BTW, just take a look at a DMG GT-R...09, of course. You will see the contrast in color that would be similar to yours if you painted the wheels K11.
