Im curious how easy it was for you to fit the 19x10 upfront. Is this the better setup for a mix of track/daily? 2 inch stagger difference makes me wonder, should i make a quick change to my order for 19x10s for the front?

edit* i will be installing my V3's and lowering about an inch all around.

I have the Forgestar 18x10 up front, 18x11 rear, lowered with camber kit. Fitment was just fine, plenty of clearance to the lip with my 3.0 degrees of camber and I imagine fairly flush looking but still no rub if you backed it down to between 1.0 and 1.5. I had a slight clearance issue at full lock when I installed my BC ER coilovers, but this was the wheel hitting the external reservoir and I was able to rotate the placement of the reservoir slightly to prevent that.

Hrrmm so with some negitive camber and around 1inch drop or so, 19x10 upfront should have minimal rub with a 265 35 or so?

Edit* with a +30 something offset. Any issues with running the 19x9 F 19x11 R? I would think this could possibly create some unwanted understeer? Maybe i should create a thread in the wheel/tire section.. Sorry for the jack!

Start a thread, this could go on for a while

There is tons of room up front for a larger wheel. I would strongly recommend using a 9.5 or 10 front. Otherwise its likely you will be fighting understeer on track.

Thanks Sharif! That was my assumption.

You're joking right?

I mean an actual diffuser to add downforce... they are relatively easy to fab.. I'm surprised there isnt one on the car already...

Jay and Kerry installed a fuel cell pump and reg. That was the solution.

For a street car, a surge tank or keeping the tank at least half full are the solutions.

We've been updating bit, but the discussion moved over the Greddy TT thread. The original plan for this car was to keep in NA, but Jay decided to go TT down the road, after the car was delivered to him. So now it's TT, and making 500whp+ track use. So far about 30 hours on the stock engine and no issues whatsoever. Jay also installed some pretty extensive cooling gear to keep the engine happy. It's amazing how much heat these engines produce, particularly when you add forced induction to the mix.

Glad you enjoyed the article!

Read the magazine article, and still can't believe the GTR is beating this thing weighting in at what 2200lbs or something like that.

Yeah, the GT-R is an amazing track car, and still very far ahead of just about any production car out there when it comes to track capabilities.

The GT-R comes off the corners so much sooner, faster, and harder than the 370Z TT can, and the gearbox on the car is worth a second per lap.
