I'm assuming you had to run some sort of spacer to fit the Weld AlumiStars you have on the front ?

Any reason you went this route over getting the RT-S for the front as well ?

I have the 18" RTS wheels for the car, ran them last year. Im really not sure if the alumastars helped much or not? But they are 10 lbs lighter a piece! Used a 1.5" spacer.

thanks

WOW !!!!!!! 10 lbs a piece lighter than the RT-S 18x4 (I'm assuming) ?
That just for the wheel, or did that also include the tire for the 10 lbs difference ?

1.5" adapter is manageable ....thanks for the info !!!!

Thats Awesome! You should post this video on both the GTR and GT500 Forums LoL. I would love to see what they have to say. In fact you should put GTR and GT500 in the video description so more people can see what can be done with a nitrous Z setup properly with a good driver.

Thats just amazing to do in a 6 speed car!

Congrats Jared. Way to get it done. You were the first to do it and noone can ever take that away. What a stellar accomplishment in a street car nonetheless. You have your setup and technique down. Hope to meet up with you boyz again in the near future.
