heres the for sale ad of some rims im after....

"To suit R33GTST and R34 GTT, and possibly R32 GTST(will also fit S14 or S15 Silvia)

Details and image below:

2 x 18x8" with 235/40/18 Nankang's (front) 5x114.3 stud pattern

2 x 18x9" with 265/35/18 Nankang's (rear) 5x114.3 stud pattern

* has minor gutter rash on outer lips which can be machined/polished

Not sure of the exact offset but the entire set were a specific fitment for R33 GTST. I've been told they will also fit the above mentioned cars too."

will these be the correct offset for a stagea if they fit a 33 gts-t???? will they stick in or out the gaurds and by how much?

any info appreciated

Brad

do me a favor

find out the offsets of hte wheels and i can tell ya!

offsets are my specialty lol

yeah

the problem is, what people say fits are a few different things

some people say this fits

(kinda does but not perfect)

i say this fits

but then some think this fits

i personally on a stagea would be going after the last fitment

mainly becuase to roll the fenders ont eh rear will make an UGLY little dimple where the door frame area is.

those wheels in the last pic on a S13 with no spacers was a 16x8 +10 offset.

most people say that +30 "fits"

Brad, My old rims were 18 by 9 on the rear and 18 by 8 on the front the offset was +40 and they fitted, Mind you on the rear the tyres were stretched on so the tyre wall was on an angle, but im not sure if this was because the tyre would have hit the inner gaurd.

anyone know if staggered wheels are a bad idea with the attessa or are they ok if they are within a certain percentage of each other (profile wise im talking)???? i read within 5% of eath other is fine?

Not a good idea apparently Brad, even worn tyres on the rear (same rim sizes) has been know to effect the system in the past as far as I have read on this forum, search and you may find...

You might get away with it but I wouldn't risk it personally.

Ok so I did the searchy thing...

The ATTESSA handles different tyre diameters due to wear ie; you can have barely legal tyres on one end and brand new tyres on the other end. That's a 6 mm difference in radius, 12 mm in diameter and 37 mm in circumference. That's covers most width profile differences easily.

Real world, my Stagea doesn't like 225/50/16's on one end and 245/40/17's on the other end. After less than 1/2k driving in a straight line, the ATTESSA started to shudder. I had to turn the steering wheel (for imaginary corners) to stop the shudder. I must have looked like a lunatic, warming the tyres up driving down the freeway.

:) cheers :)

So if it is an extreme difference it might be an issue, or if it is minimal it may never be a problem.

(Simon, when did you have different wheels? I thought the current wheels were on the Stagea when Chris imported it?)

Cheers

Luke

thanks guys, yes mine has gtr tf case now and the gtr one is better but it wouldnt have no effect on anything to do with the rims differences only when pushing the limits of the car with big power would the gtr one be benificial over the stagea one.

I honestly dont believe that staggered wheels would do much damage at all if any, as long as the heights of the wheels are all the same!

Actually come to think of it on the wheels i have on now ive got different width tyres and i have still had no problems

Nice Simon, nice,

I did like your old rims a lot, the mesh style really suited the car.

(yeah sorry Brad)

A rude awakening? We will all be jumping around like monkeys on smack, I'm sure... :no:

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
