GTR Stagea - [Behind the Scenes]

I want to thank the team at Driftworks again for helping me sort out wheels for this thing and getting them here pretty damn quick despite NZ Post's best efforts to lose them in transit.



Finding wheels that worked perfectly for this build was a mission and took countless measurements of the fenders to get wheels that would give me the exact amount of poke to let me make the widebody.

We ended up going with a set of 19x10.5 +12 Work Ulitmate Kiwamis.











They look absolutely badass, always been one of my top 3 wheels to pick in any racing game growing up and to actually have a set in real life is pretty sick.

Fitted to the car they look wild and really show off the difference in widths between the OEM Stagea rear and the new GTR front end.















We're looking at around 20mm of poke on the front fenders after dropping the car down, and then 65mm on the rears.

It's going to mean that when I make the widebody for the front it will be just enough to get away with the bolt on look that I'm after while still being wide enough to actually justify it.
