with 19 you dont have to roll the guard unless you have super massive low lol

i have lowered mine and 20 went in but need to roll the guard for safer and durable for tyres

so went down to 19 and it fits perfect. i have 19 start corp black rims with chrome surround. dont have idea about the name but.. and i have R34gtt

but imo after experince some low profile tyres on big rim and lowered vehicle... they looks sexy but everytime driving... it hearts your feeling when you hitting big hump or road hazard that hard to see or couldnt see while you changing lane.. i always try to dodge them but... cant dodgy every single road hazard..

18with very big massive dishes will do~ 19 is bit.. hard to maintain..

i think you have the starcorp kaotik's..

im after some new wheels soon too. looking at some 57f pro's.. loooove them! r34 gtr rims are a cheap alternative also. can be had for around 2k + depending on condition and tyres. wrxhoon has some awesome ones with toyo tyres for just under 3k i think. but they are immaculate! good luck with your choice mate.

Are 2nd hand jap import wheels an option to you? a set of rims, and tyres of your choice can become a cheap package, you may even need to spend a lil time on them polishing and painting, but this also gives you the oppotunity to own something no one else has and then customise colour to suit you....just a thought. I am looking around at Jap wreckers atm looking for the same thing.

P.S: if anyone knows of a good jap import wrecker/importer selling 2nd hand rims in SA or VIC please post up! Cheers!

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
