As per title dudes

Just seen these rims (see pic below) and have fallen in love!!! :P

Just wondering what size people have been able to fit under the guards. Am 100% getting them rolled to allow some more room.....just want to find out what people have successfully fit under their Cefiro.

Stupid question thou...the larger the offset the further they will stick out?? Ya? :D

Just want a set of those white ones in either 17" or 18" with the fatest dish available...

Any info would be great!

there are already heaps of threads on this (in the ceffy section)................so u could search .......

my work s1's are 8" at front + 30 and 9" at rear + 35 and they are close to scrubbing but dont just ...only cause i dont lower it too much ....the guards might need rolling a little it i went super low. They fill out the guards well and make it look fat

and about the offset .....the smaller the number the further it will stick out ...well ........thats sorta right but not the best explanation

read here : http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101

OK cheers, for the quick responses.

So would i be correct in saying i could fit, with rolling the guards -

Fronts - 17" x 8.5 +32

Rears - 17" x 9.5 +38

Ya?? :)

Sorry i have NFI when it comes to the offset......

umm.. iv got a set of meisters in 18x9.5 +30 and 18x11 +35... any chance of getting them on the cef??.. the rears stick out a fair bit... and wont clear the suspension without 10mm spacers... so any ideas on how to get them on??.. i really like these rims...

Like you said spacers are the only way and obviously flaring because they stick out.

The reason that they hit is because of the high offset, meaning there is a lot of rim on the inside from the hub.

Research ur rims before purchase people !!

Well thanks to Konect's persistant advice on wheel research :sweat: I think i have my head around how it all works.

SO............

What I have decided should do the trick is

Front - 17 x 8.5 +25

Rear - 17 x 9.5 +28

Mate i would think you would firstly get the guards rolled and go a 10mm spacer.....that way you will at least clear the coilovers and then see how much they stick out. Then consider getting them flared.

my 2c

doesnt help me tho.. iv already got these rims.. :s... arethe rear guards able to be flared much?? any help would be greatly appreciated...

cheers

2 things I have heard about flaring:

1: The door is very close to the arch minimising the amount of flaring.

2: 'Apparently' there is a structual bar that runs vertically from the middle of the guard.

3: Excessive flare will cause paint cracking.

4: At a certain point the guard cannot be pulled OUT and further and ends up lipping upwards instead.

Use the wheel offset calc to work out just how far they are going to stick out from your current wheels. Mine are 16 x 7 +27 and are a little less than flush with the guard (no flaring). Maybe use that as a base.

:sweat:

Seeing as how im bored at work I thought I would work it out for you:

Front: Based on my 7inch + 30

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 32mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 32mm

Rear: Based on my 7inch + 27

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 59mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 43mm

Mine currently almost rub on the front (with chucky tires) and NO WAY the back would have the required 59mm gap on the inside.

gtr wheels 33/34 sit perfect

17x9 +30 all round

18x9 +30 all round

absolutely flush on stock ceffy guards with just lipping the lip under the guard...

im running 18x9.5 +12 fronts and 18x10.5 +0 rears... ugh they sit out a tiny bit... my crash repairer is going to have a migraine when hes done making them fit

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
