Can someone be so kind as to inform me of the largest 18" rims that will fit under a stock series 1 stag. It is still in lift kit mode, so some form of lowering is also going to happen as well.

I am looking at some ford au/ba rims and I'd rather find out what would be pushing it before I go see any.

AFAIK standard offset is for s1 stags is 35, yes?

I have looked searched through some other threads but most of the stuff appeared vary a fair bit and a lot was for series 2 stags.

um

depends on how much massaging you want to do

I had 18x9 +0 front

18x10 +20

if you get an 18x10 +10 it will clear with almost 0* camber, but you need a alrge fender roll qhich i didnt want to do

However if you go with 18x9 +10 or +5 it will sit almost the same ( a few MM difference) with 20+MM more interior room so you wont hit your coilovers like i did

on the front you can afford to go with 10s +10 or so as long as they clear brakes if you have tension rods ...but id reccomend a PS cooler if your going to...as 10s put a huge strain on your PS system

For the rear two arms are a must

Toe Arm and camber arm

if you can get the other one (traction i think its called....i dunno) then get it

Use all S14 model arms, you can find them for 90-150 each arm depending on where you look.....

forgot to add

if you go lower than 18x9 +0 you will need to heavily roll your front fenders as well.

i put a slight roll on mine, but it has too much camber, which is why i went with an 18x9 +20 all around so i can just space the rear a little bit.

this is what it looks like with an 18x9 +0 18x0 +20

I'm not looking to fill it out to the guards absolute limit, I just want some decent rims that aren't going to cost my nuts to replace the stocko ones.

Hrm I have 225/50R16 tyres on the car, if I go to 245/40R18 thats surely going to put the speedo out somewhat?... is my real speed going to be faster or slower than the speedo is indicating?

Also after looking under the arches, the rear will be fine, but the front has some suspension part that sits within a few inches of top of the tyre, is that going to be a problem at all?

Last question, +38 offset as opposed to the +35, that will bring the face of the rim slightly closer to guards? or is it going the other way?

ah I have no idea, sorry. I have 18's on mine, but no idea on the offsets bla bla bla cause I don't know what 'offset' is :sick:

It reallyhelps if you are of the opposite sex? LOFL

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
