Hey guys im looking at getting some new GN+ 5ZIGEN The size i am looking at at is 17x8.5 +30 offset all round i was wondering if any of u guys would have an idea of if they would fit without modifications my car isnt that low atm so i cant see it being a problem any thoughts would be helpfull

not sure i have a r32 4 door

with old enkie 16X8 on the rear - without lipping the gaurds they wouldnt fit with 225 tyres had 205s to start with fitted fine - not sure what the offset is

fronts are only 7inch wide 8s wouldnt fit too well on the front

my offsets are probably wrong

have seen 255 tyres on 17in rims on a 32 4 door would be 9in rims i would think and they were rubbing but only just

I currently have;

17x8 +30 on front

17x9 +30 on rear

my car is lowered to 340mm and due to the soft damper, just a bit firmer than stock suspension i get scrubbing.

I get scrubbing on the front and i have 8inch, whilst yours are 8.5 even larger.

If your suspension is stiff it shouldn't be a problem

Tried my 34 GTR rims on a clients 32 gts-t .. no rubbing

im running 17x 9's they fit easily

tis only when ya look at 18 + that ya might need guard rolling

What offset they have ??

ive got 18x7.5 or 8 on mine and only had to make some 10mm spacers for the front to clear the calipers and didnt need to roll anything

I just ordered some of these in 18"x9.5 +22 off Nengun for my GTR

Should look mint.

There pretty hot hey i wish i could have that offset and width :( so do u reckon +30 would still be an alright bit of dish for these sought of rims?

gotta show me some pics wen ur done :wave:

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
