Might be interested. Couple of questions for ya. First up, are they all eight inches wide. Reason I ask is because lots of guys run 8's front and 9's rear, which is fine on a T but not so good on a 4. Stuffs with the Atessa a bit even if you're running the same size tyres front and back.

Second question, do you know the offset?

Number three, do they clear the stock calipers without spacers?

Number four, any rash on them? They look good in the pics. Not fussed if the white paint is scratched.

That'd be going anyway. Only worried about the metal.

Cheers.

they are all 8 inches wide. they fit nicely just inside the 32 gaurds and my car is LOW.

they did have some scratches in the metal, but most of it was sanded back before painting

price is neg so make an offer you never know ill prob take it

oh and they clear the brake callipers

Sounding good. Looky, if they're sitting in your shed have a look on the back of one of the rims. There should be a stamp or casting saying ET15 or ET83 or whatever.

The two numbers after "ET" are the offset. It'll either be on the inside of the rim or the back of one of the spokes. Handy to know when you're buying or selling rims. People usually want to know. I know what I need to clear the guards after I fit the camber correction kit to the rear. The current 9's clear now but correcting the camber means they won't. Excess camber bad. Right camber good. Cheers.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
