9.5 and 12 is a pretty big stagger isn't it? how do you think that will affect the handling and feeling of the car?

unfortunately, with those fitments, the fronts will actually only need to be flared about 16-18mm, while the rears will need to be flared approximately 70-73mm (this is over stock)... the smallest "bolt-on" front flare designed specifically for the car would be 25mm, so either a less stretched tire will be needed up front (i.e. around 245-255 max) to visually fill up the wheelwell, or additional wheel spacers will be needed if a more stretched tire will be used (in the case of a 9.5" wheel, a 225 width tire would give the best combination of appearance and "safe" performance). The rear flares would need to be custom as there is no simple, bolt-on rear flare that would meet the needs of rear wheels with those fitments.. Those wheels came off a VIP car if i remember correctly (hmmm, or maybe it was the skyline) and were bought off YA for something funny like $550USD or so. takumiproject was trying to sell them for 2800obo if my memory serves me correctly, but I'm sure they were not able to get anywhere near that since it took them this long to get rid of the set..
