I had a set of bbs's on there with a bigger lip and I wanted a set of ssr proffesors had the offset and size all decided on they would have had nice 5" lips in the back and then I relized for what I payed for all 4 falkens I would have paid for one ssr Thanks for the compliments guys! I think I am going to buy another pair since I usually run 350z wheels on the track I might use these on the track now.

Looks beautiful, but you might want to consider putting in a 5mm spacer if you start running a lot of negative camber . Other than that, those are a beautiful set of wheels.

I like the way the proffesors look better than the works though but they are both damn nice wheels.

Im actually faster with the 225's than 245's especially in the mountains. I like the car to rotate easily it keeps my steering work to a lot less angle and I am a lot faster on the downhill that way. I like to transfer weight to the front turn in and slide the car just a little bit and power out with very little turn in angle not enough to get counter steer but almost like a zero counter drift but the rear tires arent spinning just sliding a little. Hard to explain but its how I drive and with the 245's they dont slide as easy making my steering and braking a little less smooth to get it to slide.
