HI guys looking at selling my rims to make way for some new ones. They're Volk racing light wieght 3 piece. imported them from Japan. 16 X 8 +30 and 16 X 7 +30 (i think). ill double check that when i get home.

The tires alone are worth 600 bucks a corner (Potenza RE01-R's 225 back 205 front semi's) and are the grippiest things ive ever used. They are a Jap tyre and can't be bought from australia. They shot me to a sub 2 sec 60ft time with 160ishrwkw. Sit perfectly on a standard 180sx

Looking for around $800ono. price is negotiable so let me know ur offer. no. 0431 466 113

cheers,

-Brendan

redrilling is easy, keeping the wheel strength is a different story i guess. any wheel repairer could do that for you easily. freight is going to be something circa the $150 mark pretty much aus wide using freight company for infrequent usage (businesses get better deals coz they are frequent users)..

how much tread of the tyres? to tell the truth im only after the rears at the moment coz the front ones are way too small for me. i will PM offer depending on tread. thanks brendan

looks like it will be somewhere between $80 to $120 to redrill. any local tyre place should do it. i know tempe tyres will. and as i said, the center caps cover the studs anyway. let me know if you're interested.

cheers

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
