The 17x9’s look awesome.

What was the clearance like to the right rear fuel filler hose? Your car appears lowered. Do you have a FTG measurement for us with your stock wheels?

There was a few mm clearance on the fuel filler neck at rest. I have not modified the position of that in any way. My FTG is 25 & 3/8ths. I also have 2 degrees rear camber.

A few teaser shots for y’all

17x9 ET42 with 255/40/17 Nitto NT01
Took the liberty of punching this up a bit. Quick little 5 minute edit on the phone so it ain't perfect!

Thank you.

What was the clearance to your front coilovers?

I don’t anticipate the front to have any issues if you are running some camber. Right rear was always likely to be tight.

Can't wait to see photos of the 18" wheels installed.

I'm not sure what sort of monster stuck a five lug conversion on a GT3 RS, but hey, they are 18" SM10's.




I'm about 99.5% sure I want bronze, but pics of black actually look really good and occupy that half a percentage of uncertainty in my mind.

Wish the wheels have more concavity but they look promising.
They really can't with our offsets. My M Coupe had 8mm rear offset on 9 inch wide wheels, allowing for nice concavity, but our 40+ offset on 7.5" wide wheels just isn't going to allow anything resembling concavity.

X2 on Bronze, but the photos of the anthracite and black versions are still quite enticing.
