Offset? But the rear has heaps of clearance to the strut. You should only have guard clearance issues.

I've had 18x9 +45 on the rear before and there was still plenty of clearance to the strut with 2.5deg camber

I have squeezed some 17x9.5 ssr's under the rear of mine. You really don't have a lot of room to play with.

The effective offset on mine with spacer is +46 as i removed the original 15mm spacer that bolts to the back of the rim and replaced it with a 5mm slip on to fit it. Ideally it would need an offset around +43 give a bit more clearance to the tie rod end and coil over as it is really very (too) close atm.

You will need lipped guards minimum running 235's, probably slight flares to run any wider tyre without scrubbing problems. If the tyres have the little lip to protect the edge of the rim it will be even tighter

Are some of you confusing the front and rear? I currently have 9.5" wide +38 rears on my car and i do have rolled rear guards. They clear everything nicely. I dont know how they would go with wider rubber or unrolled guards, but i think its pretty safe to say you dont need to lip the guards

i got 9" with 255s(gtr offset) on the rear of my gfs gtst

Wow.... :)

What width rubber do you have on yours Troy?

I've got +38 offset 9" wide with stretched rubber (235) and there is a bit of clearance but my suspension is so stiff it doesn't even go close.

What is the correct width rubber to put on 9" and 8" rims?

Mine at effective +45 offset, 2 degrees camber and 225 bridgestone semi slick. Straighten up the wheel and increase the offset by another 8mm and they'd stick out like dogs balls, plus scrub with a wider tyre.

Sorry about the picture quality, camera phone in night vision plus me with the shakes = bad photo. Just as a reference, heres one of the front showing the thickness of the lip. That may be why mine were a bastard to fit under the guards.

russ i have 18x8 235/45/18 on front of my car, never rubbed with old suspension, however coilovers on it now and it sits alot lower so it rubbs. i reakon alot of this has to do with just how low the car sits..

I have 255/40s on my 9.5" wheels and they are a tad under the correct width. So i think they are the perfect tyre for the rim. What i look for is that when i put the rim flat on the ground the face of the rim touches the concrete and not the rubber.

hope you're not a curb touch parker!

Roy i have 225/40s on 7.5 inch wide rims. SK suggested i run 235 in the future. Why do u like the tyres stretched out, i mean wouldnt a 265 provide more grip and a better ride?

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
