I'm considering buying these wheels for my series 1 1997 stagea - I'm pretty confident that they'll fit after looking at the posts on here - but just want some of you guys to give me an opinion - please do

I think the 225/40x18 toyos will give me a fairly close to original rolling radius too

I think?

:D

18" REDLINE 5 X 114 ALLOY WHEELS MATT BLACK + TOYO T1S

A SET OF 4 - 7.5 X 18 REDLINE (INOVITE) NEW ALLOY WHEELS

PCD OF 5 X 114 WITH AN OFF SET OF 38MM

215/35X18 OR 225/40X18 TOYO T1S TYRES

cheers :)

A better fitment may be the 235/40R18 - which a number of us are running.

Also, why choose an obsolete tyre. The new tyre in the Toyo range is the Proxes T1R.

Check out www.toyo.com.au.

nice mag - get 235/40/18 or 45 for sure.

ummm, Id suggest the Hankook K104 Ventus, very nice tyre around $200ea

18" REDLINE 5 X 114 ALLOY WHEELS MATT BLACK + TOYO T1S

Don't Stagea's take 5X114.3 same as Skylines? not sure how much effect the .3 will have???

Hum@nzee is in the UK too guys so he won't be poping down to Tempe...

Cheers

thanks guys - basically if they fit without causing any problems I'll go for them and the toyos because they're a package deal that looks like good value - full set with locking nuts and new nuts mounted and balanced for less than £700 - seems good - just wanted to be confident that they wouldn't rub and clear the standard brakes.

sounds like they will so might go for it - keep suggestions coming if you have wisdom to pass on - much appreciated :starwars:

qikstagea - car is dark blue at the moment - but I'm gonna go for either a gun metal or a brighter mica type blue - either should go well with the wheels anyway (says the art teacher ;) )

you've had a look at cyrus' thread about his new rims? plethora of info and random input there, few pics too.

dark looks good on the light blue mica (bayside?), as seen on 34 gtrs etc, very stealthy on your darker cars.

What about the offset? I'd think that +38mm will stick out quite far. I have +30mm front and rear, and this is what Nismo recommend for the Stagea (Nismo's Stagea parts list)

I have Nismo LM GT2's in Nismo's dimensions for the Stagea and they fit well.

That is such a cool page, look at all the goodies you waste *cough* I mean invest in :D

we'll soon see if they fit - ordered them :ban: - the guy seemed very reasonable and they are fairly local to me - said he was confident that they would fit and that provided I hadn't buggered them up in anyway he'd have them back and sort me something else. fingers crossed - should have some tasty pictures with 'em on my wagon next week - if you don't here from me for a week or two you'll know it went tits up! :rofl:

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
