cost $240 per rim to cut and weld in any width band you want and the best part is they balanced out better, and had better run out than they did straight from rohana, also they give a structural warranty on the wheel for I believe 3 years garaunteeing their work.

Dang. 12.5 with 345s on the rear. I've always wanted a fat setup like that but I'm scared to lose performance. Does it feel heavy and sluggish when your accelerating?

What was the rear size and offset prior to you getting them widened?

original rear was 20x11 +10 added 1.5" to the back

and no not sluggish at all, there's no accel difference other than the fact that you can stand on the pedal right off the line and get traction MUCH faster, and with the wider fronts the turn in is twice as good as stock

I knew something wasn't right with your offsets. Your actual rear offsets are +29 and not +45. Here's how to calculate it:

Original wheels were 11" +10 offset. You widened them by 1.5" or 38.1mm. Now take that 38.1mm and divide it by 2 to get 19.05. You then add 19.05 to your +10 offset giving you a final offset of +29.

Hope that helps.

R.K.

305.30 rear 275.35 front nismo rim (same on sport rims) although 295 and 265 flush the wheel completely and look boss.... No rub dropped on stance coils.

I tried a 295/30 and 265/35 setup and the front tires were too tall (88.5mm vs 92.5mm height).

You are measuring inches where I am comparing millimeters (more precise).

I scrapped the 265/35 tires and opted for 255/35 instead. The front tires are still slightly taller than the rear, but visually hard to discern.

IMO- the front 265/35 was visibly taller than the 295/30 rear. A difference I couldn't live with...

The 305/30 is 91.5 mm and the 265/35 is 92.75 mm with a difference of 1.25 mm.
The 295/30 is 88.5 mm and the 255/35 89.25 mm with a difference of .75 mm.
