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

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?

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
