How stretched is your tire?
At first sight this kyusha kai Nissan Skyline KPGC10 doesn’t look that out of the ordinary. Take a good look when it passes a second time!
That’s a very wide set of 8 spoke RS Watanabe with very very stretched tires! Would this still count as hippari or rather insane?

This Nissan Skyline KPGC10 by Tanigawa Takeshi is one of their track cars and not their normal shakotan or kyusha kai example. Nevertheless I want to share the deep dished RS Watanabes they put on it:
RS Watanabe 8 spoke on KGC10
At the front it already sticks out too far and they had to extend the fenders.
Don’t worry, they were sane enough to use FRP fenders to begin with:

Unfortunately they did not feature the 11J at the rear, but I think the 9J front was already impressive enough. 😉

Someone testfitted some RS Watanabe 8 spokes for his keitora truck:
Deep dish 15 inch 11J RS Watanabe 8 spoke
I guess the 15 inch is a bit too large for the truck…
And maybe a bit too wide as well:

So, those OEM fenders definitely need to be swapped with some wide over fenders! 😉

It has been a while since we had a deep dish post like this! I found these two 12J wide RS Watanabe rims for sale on Auctions Yahoo:
Deep dish 12J wide RS Watanabe rims
The rims have an offset of -50, so even with wide fender extenders the wheels will probably stick out anyway. 😉

The tires are a set of Dunlop Sport R90s 265/575 competition tires. Not something you will find on an average set of Wats!

Rims are, of course, in pcd 4×114.3 so they will even fit most older Japanese cars.
