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

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
