At this rate I suppose the 2GS will have every Nissan wheel on it. Sorry not a fan.

It's forged, wide and most likely lighter than most cast aftermarket wheels out there. I've done the same thing OP did.

Post a link or stats on the washers and lug nuts it's hard to get an idea of what I'm looking for. That washer looks like it's more acorn style than flat seated.

Imo the the 370 wheels look too sharp for a 2GS. Dont get me wrong it looks good but they just dont fit the car

OP- your car looks FABULOUS man!!! Dayaaamn.... LOVE IT brother.
Sooo...I have STOCK suspension but (also) installed the LS4 front calipers/rotors (and LOVE them!!!- especially with the insane EBC Redstuff pads)-- But anyway, I installed (30mm) SAGE RCA's up front... and Exact Motorsports brand RCA's in the rear, which are only 20mm.

I wanted the car to have a similar wheelwell gap in the front and rear- and since our cars have a higher gap in the front, stock...I figured- until I buy some new coilovers it would APPEAR to be sitting nice and flat (although the front would be 10mm lower)

Problem is, the stupid (Exact) 20mm RCA's add 1 degree of positive camber at the LEAST (and up to 3 degrees- at the most) and my car had POSITIVE camber in the back ! Is the camber in the back adjustable- because I got it alligned again- and now it has -5 degrees neg camber (which is perfect....... THING IS, I think the only reason is because I put about 150 lbs of WEIGHTS in the spare tire well. So rigged at the moment... KILLIN ME!

2jzgttegs- I know you have your GS lowered- but it seems to sit SOOOOO perfectly. Daaahhhhaaamit, I should've bought the SAGE RCA's for the rear!

Anyway- YOUR 'Beige Metallic' GS looks great, at least ! ha... Here's a pic of how mine is currently sitting with the massive 150 lbs of extra weight that I had to add to trunk well to get it sit where it's sitting currently. ttsshhh... I really need to order some coilovers asap. lol

(the 2nd pic is from last year- before I added the 25mm adapters on the rear wheels. Now, other than the suspension being horrible- at least both sets of my factory wheels are FLUSH.)
