What do you guys think?

Just recently had my new wheels put on. Can you guess what they are and what do you guys think of my car overall?

i also notice the rear wheels are wider and has pretty low offset than the fronts.

You guys got it. They are Nismo LM-GT4s. After talking to Shiv at Vishnu, he told me the shop car was using wheels originally meant for a 350z and they look awesome on the car. Obviously that meant the lug pattern was the same. A couple of weeks later I came across these wheels at Gruppe-S and bought them on the spot. They were meant for a 350z and required having the center bore enlarged but they fit perfect now with no vibrations whatsoever. I also had to roll the rear fenders since the tires sit right at the edge of the fenderwell. I've been looking for wheels for months so I think it was just meant to be. Anyway the fronts are 18X8.5 +25mm, with Pirelli PZero 245/35 and the rears are 18X9.5 +30mm and 255/35s. I'll take some more pics and try and make them bigger tomorrow.
Let me add though that Shivs car is not a staggered setup. I think his car are 9 or 9.5 all the way around with the same offset.

whoa, running a staggered setup like that may be bad.

According to the calculator your front wheels are making 815 revolutions per mile, and your back wheels are making 806 revolutions. I think your center diff. is gonna be unhappy.

Why would it be different from front to back? He's got 18s on both, only difference is the width.

you forgot the tire size is different oak2207

Both are 35 profile but if width is different then the height of the tire will be different since the tire sidewall height is a function of profile times width

Difference is side wall hight which is a relative to width and therefore overall diametar of the tires is not the same front and back.
