Would anyone be able to tell me if these measurments would fit my car? Im planning on buying rims tommorow but because my car is at the machanics i have no car to test on.

Size is:

17"x9 with +18offset

Im just wondering if theres any modifications needed to fit these?

Would it clear calipers?

Would it rub gaurds?

Im also running on cusco adjustable suspensions if that helps!

Thanks guys!

Hrrmmmm your right it does stick out of gaurds roughly 3 cms. With my coilovers lowered it will hit the gaurds. And the insurance company said that itll be illegal to have the whell sticking out of gaurds.

Anyone have any ideas what i should do?

I was planning on having my gaurds rolled out and raise the suspension.

Would that make it more legal, or should i sell out the rims?

You will deff need to roll the guards dude.

Those offsets are for gtrs which have a more pumped guards than gtsts..

Sell the rims,

And get offsets at min or 30 for a gtsts..

30 front, you might just have to roll it a little..

Anything below 30 offset, will just hit the guards easily.. plus it will look gay anyways.. lol

I reckon for 17inch rims, 32 offset front, 35-37 offset rear is best combination..

Plus you already have 9inch wide rim.. It will look phat!!

Btw is that 17*9 all the way around?

Im not to sure if the fronts will fit then.. AS in, it might touch your coilovers..

In short, those rims are for GTR's!!

Ive got some stretched tyres at the front already with 235s, rears are 265. But it causes alot of camber wear.

It is 17*9 all 4 rims, might really have to think about selling em.

But i really like these drifteks man, anyone got any to swap =)

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
