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?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
