Cara you will need to sell your wheels to clear the brakes. You will need 18x8/18x9 +30 at the highest. Even my 18x10 +18 on the front, another 1-2mm and it would hit. Just make sure u choose the right offset and "disc" design on the wheels to make sure it clears.

Screw spacers, dangerous, stupid and illegal. Not to mention, if you are caught with them in an accident, insurance companies aren't generally too happy

Just get rims that fit correctly in the first place

Regardless, if I were to drive a car anywhere I wouldn't do it with spacers... that's just me though

yeah i just removed mine a couple weeks ago... the wheels look a bit better without them in my case...

cara dont u have 19's ? surely that should clear the calipers?

-D

Just because she has 19's Ben, doesn't mean she has a decent enough offset to clear larger calipers.

Good idea Steve, but I still don't think they are legal

not by rule of thumb but most 9's have a fair amount of caliper clearance considering people often need the bigger rims to clear the big calipers/bigger discs... its a chicken/egg thing

and ive seen her rims, theyre pretty bloody huge :laugh:

i wouldnt say bolt on spacers are dangerous. I used 25mm on the back of my 31 while drifting for quite some time. They will be going back on the front sometime soon also. Never had a problem. Just make sure you buy hubcentric and get them from somewhere reputable. Adelaide tyrepower is where i got mine from.

cara, if youre spending $xx,000 on an engine package, $2k for some low offset jap (or china, whatever) wheels isnt that much of a stretch is it? sure spacers are a good short term fix, but buying proper wheels would be better.

but then, thats me, im getting annoyed running 5mm locating ring. :down:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
