    I was running 225/45/17 up front and 215/45/17 in the rear on 17x7.5s as I didnt want to roll the rear fenders and I wanted more front grip for rotation anyways.

    as far as making the car rotate.. all you need is a bigger rear sway and the same size all around.. then you can at least rotate your tires. Believe me.. with 225/45 and a CTR sway and endlinks (what I have) you will rotate more than enough.

    the stagger isn't worth it imo.

    Why is everyone so afraid of rolling their fenders? It's a painless process (when done properly).

    It's amusing. For some reason, there's this weird preconceived notion here that the process is generally harmful & is frowned upon.

    It's startingly simple. Heat/ roll/ repeat/ mount wheels.

    lol no kidding. My buddy has been building this Z32 for almost 4 years now and we rolled his front fender by pushing on it with a rubber mallet.

    Nah dude those are 18" or 19" wheels. You can tell by the profile of the tire. I would even go as far to say those are 20's! Look like rubber bands for tires!

    they look like 18s to me... the car is pretty low to be anything bigger...

    I think you're right because that particular wheel comes in 17's and 18's i dont think larger than that in that application...the euros do love to run stretched rubber though :)
