I am looking to replace the rims on my car anytime now. I am really looking into Weds sa-70's and 90's and I am wanting to go 8" front and 9" rear, either 17" or 18" ( i am not set on either). My fenders were already rolled when I bought the car, but it turns out with a baseball bat and no heater :( so the paint cracked and theres a bit of rust. I am thinking of getting a body shop to just cut the excess off, your thoughts on this? also thinking of flaring the fenders as well, what is the usual cost per fender for this?

so the available sizes/offsets are:

17×7.5J 43 5H-114.3

17×8.0J 32・42 5H-114.3 F

17×9.0J 10・20・35 5H-114.3 FR

18×8.0J 36・42 5H-114.3

18×9.0J 32 5H-114.3 R

20 5H-114.3 RR

18×10.0J 32 5H-114.3 R

any opinions would be awesome. thank you

on my 32 ive got on 18s, the fronts 8.5 offsets 21+ and rears 9.5 offsets 21+

the rears ive flared them 2-3mm out and the fronts im using 20mm fenders.

ive still a fair bit of space left on the rears but the fronts sit flush.

cars lowered by 330mm from the centre cap.

hope that gives u an idea.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
