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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
