Set of 4 17x9jj +5 offset Keiichi Tsuchiya KS-05.
Skyline GTR offset. Pearl White. No tires.
http://students.oxy.edu/sschumacker/ks-05/rim1.JPG
These are NOT your usual beat up, used wheels. These are brand new NEVER used in the original boxes wrapped in plastic. They still have the "Designed by Keiichi Tsuchiya" hang tags. This sizing is very rare. Also included are 2 center caps each (outer/inner), valve stems, wrench extension, and information pamphlet (japanese). The wheels are in Japan and will be shipped via surface mail at the buyer's expense, approx. $50 per wheel.

Forget spacers. You want flush? This is it. You'll have to make these fit but once you do, they will look AWESOME.
Here (http://students.oxy.edu/sschumacker/ks-05/ks05_s14.jpg) they are on an S14 (for reference, these are not the wheels for sale). Those are normal fenders, not pulled.

so, how much pulling would be required? do you know the offest of the set you pictured on the s14?

The wheel in the picture is the same size, 17x9 +5. You'll need to roll the fenders but I'd imagine pull depends on ride height, camber, tires, etc. People fit 9.5 +12 on stock (no or little pull) fenders, it seems, and that's about the same.

you can fit that on stock front
rolled fendres, camber and stretched tires
i run a 17x9 -2 on stock fronts
hammered the fenders a bit too of course, so a slight pull out. camber about-3?
215/45/17

i have 18x9.5 +12 on rear with a very slight pull (hammer job) fuck fender rollers. i dont even use mine most of the time.

i run 17x9 +5 on my s14 (17x9 +30 with a 25mm spacer). With 215/45s all around and like -3 give or take degrees of camber. It fits fine. And only rolled fenders and my car is pretty low too.

how are you guys daily driving 3 degrees of camber? Doesn't that KILL your tires in about 4months?

Toe kills tires a great deal more than camber.

very true, but 3 degrees is excessive if you drive your car daily, in terms of negative camber wear.

I have like 3.5 and don't really run into that many problems, but I don't drive like a mad man all over. My fronts go out from being at events all the time, but flip the tires and your fine.

I really agree with you on that. Fitment and looks plus the occassional benefit for a sharp turn is great, just not worth it for most people I imagine.
