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:

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
