LOLOLOL

thast hilarious

see, its funny how an 18x8 +30 rim would stick out to far, however an 18x9 +0 doesnt?

i think theres more to the story, like an idiot behind the wheel

but on a side not, that would be some easy harness relocation there, the fender is almost all the way off!

what kind of fitment are you wanting? sunken or flush with the body?

to be conservatiev in the rear go 8 +15-+20

for the front since you can actually usea lower offset id go +0t to +10

however, if you do go with the offsets above please run a 215/40 or 45 tire so you dont rub the inner lip ont eh fender please

however if you want to go a little wider (9s are plenty)

if you go 9 x+25 or +30 all around on stock body (no rolling or pulling) SHOULD fit without poking at all. but i always roll my fenders so i cant tell you for sure since i rolled them as soon as i could

preferrably flush with body, legally I dont think you can go over 8" wide here as stock are 7"

I was hoping to get the same offset all round, so if need be I could rotate them, but this may not be possible along with having the nice flush look.

well the problem is the huns on the front are further in than the rear

If you wanted to go flush all the way aroundk you COULD, but youd need to slightly roll the rear fenders so you can clear the tires

but honestly, if the skyline/cefiro/S chassis guys can do it, what is stopping you guys?

you really think they are going to stop you and say , hey your wheels are too wide.....just say it came with 8s from teh facotry or something

They go off whats on your tyre placard, and it says factory is 7" widest, but yes most people dont give a rats.

But for example, how do you think 18x8's with a +35 offset would look all round?

according to the calculations

the rear wont be baddddd maybe a 10mm spacer

but you should get maybe a 20mm spacer for the front

its gonna be hugely sunken

thatswhy i hate stageas wheel fitment sometimes. its backwards compared to everything else. lower offsets front higher in the rear is weird

If Beastien is worried about using 9 inch rims to stay legal, the last thing he wants is spacers!

Try this calculator, you can work out from your current wheels width and offset to how the new wheels will sit

because its illegal to have spacers on your car here...i was priveliged enough to get them on my stagea and find out that you cant have them legally on your car and insurance wont touch you if they are on your car :ninja:

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
