The canards are little ghey but I do like the C-West kit.

That looks like some crazy offset on the RG's...probably running 255/40-17 front and 275/40-17 rear.

The wing is a bit much tho, don't really need a dual-flap thing on the FD and it just clutters up the look. A couple of the Mazdaspeed (R-Spec and Type GT-Concept) and the AutoExe wings are more subtle and can still make the needed downforce.

So not *quite* my exact style but since I fucking worship FDs I give it the :goodjob:

Those RG's are Skyline offsets! GTR design... I think it looks amazing :drool:

Do you know what the size and offset is on em? I'm still tryin to figure out how the hell they fit under an FD. There is some pretty decent room to work with but the fenders certainly aren't as forgiving as the GT-R.

I am not sure of the actual offset, those wheels are meant for a Skyline, but can fit on certain cars with blister fenders.

Hmm well it looks like they're running a 17x9" all around with 255/40-17 because that's the tire which fits on the front of a GT-R. Some FD road racer types like to run the same size front and rear because it makes changing the tires and tuning the suspension a little simpler. If you're making a buncha HP though the 255/40 ain't enough width to put all that power down though and a 275/40 or 275/35 is necessary.

But yeah I forget the offset that GT-Rs run on the front 17x9s off the top of my head at the moment. Oh well.

Oh, did some research:
17x9.5 +14 & +24.

Those wheels are only offered in +14 and +24 offset for 9.5" width.

Advan RG's :drool:

Ah ok that makes sense. From the looks of the rim stickin out it's probably the 255/40 and 275/40 like I mentioned but the fronts are stretched a lil bit over the 9.5" rim.

Still pretty toite y0.
