Thanks for the offset info... I may well go with spacers and new bolts on the rear if need be. Whatever makes it right.

I know you all are dying to see pics and I am dying to get them on the car, unfortunately I don't have the car right now and am in the process of trying to get ahold of it so that I can get these new shoes on!!

I will have pics up real soon.. I promise. :excited:

Ah, I see it's off getting tuned by Technosquare. Well okay, I guess we'll let it slide this one time. ;)

In all seriousness though, it'll be interesting to see what kind of gains they can get out of tuning it.

No... unfortunately no pics yet but soon! I did the fitment over at Technosquare yesterday and they fit perfectly. Sits just about flush with the fenders on front and rear...

Concerning Brooke's post

Yes, it has been said, and probably conclusively proven that the first and second batch of Hiro wheels were prone to cracking. I remember this being a problem several years ago (3 years or so). However, as I understand it, this is no longer an issue. By "this" I mean cracking under normal driving circumstances. Any wheel can crack if enough force is applied but these cracked under significantly less force than a wheel should crack. That being said I had set of Axis Reverbs on my 350z and never had a problem with them so it's difficult to say with any high degree of certainty that Axis makes "good wheels" or "bad wheels"; all that can be said is that there was an issue with these wheels in their first generation some 3 odd years ago which seems to have subsequently been ameliorated.

I say this as clarification of his post because I didn't feel he told the whole story. He is right though and this should be considered in case you’re thinking of buying these. Caveat emptor as they say.

Finally got the wheels on with brand new rubber (that actually matches) both 35 series instead of a 35 rear with a 40 up front? lol @ Nissan.

Anyway sorry for the extremely crappy CELL phone pix but it's all I had on me at the time and I still don't have the car to do a proper photoshoot yet. Theay are complete SEX in person. Those pics are coming!!

Meanwhile... here's a teaser..

The profiles were different because the widths were different. Profile is a function of the height divided by the width. The actual profile "height" was the same front and rear despite having different profile numbers.

Wheels like nice installed!
