Just double check that the rolling diameter of the tyres are the same front and rear. Sometimes different width tyres run slightly different heights, which can cause dramas with the attesa, according to a few on here.

But going by how the rear tyres is stretched on there id say they are the same width TYRE front and rear, even though different rim widths...?

Looks good tho! But yes lower the car!

yeah its the dayz kit. i pm'd sk about some suspension but havent heard back yet. i have a RWD so i havent got an attessa system to worry about but yes the tyre widths are the same front and back

i reckon a gtr bake upgrade might be on the cards to fill the rims up a bit also and to stop terrible braking perfomance of my car. went on a bit of hills drive last night with a loaded car (5 people) but with the stocky wheels and wasnt terribly impressed. i definatly wasnt being given any ammount of reasurence from the suspension or the brakes. im a bit of a pussy driver now after my accident and any hint of body roll freakes me out.

wats the offset for fronts and rears?

im getting an 18sx9 for the front and x10 fortherears. Front offset is +25 and rears +40

I think you are going to have rear inside clearance issues with an offset that high.

My 18x20 rears have about a finger of clearance (13-17mm). I don't know if an extra 20mm on the inside will fit. You definately wont be able to run square rubber (where the tyre sticks out more than the wheel)

spacers as a last resort 10mm should do it. Then i will look VERY Ricey!! :D

Hrm so its okay to run staggered widths front and back as long as rolling diameter is kept the same?

I've been looking for a set of equal width 18" rims for ages on various car forums and its so bloody rare to see any.

What size rims and tyres (inc offset) are you guys running? I need a rough idea on what will look decent.

where in victoria can you go 140km/h+ ?

140km/h is not rarely seen. Yeah.. racetracks.

dmonic1 what offset are those rims?

I am currently looking at a set of 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 +35 offset, just wondering if they would fit without having to lip/roll the guards.

At your sizes and offsets, comparing to my rims (which are slightly weaker than Yoko) you are going to have 28mm less inner and 40mm more outer clearance on the front and 9mm less inner and 21mm more outer clearance. Stagea's have MASSIVE front guards man, you really need lower offsets on the fronts than the rears. Be careful of hitting the shock too (the curse of high offset wheels)

You can compare to other sizes using this calculator. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I havn't touched my front guards and my rears would be alright slightly higher, at this height they need a lip only (bend the inside lip up, not pump/roll/flare the guard)

Yokotas old car (18x9 -5 w/ 235/40 fronts, 18x10 +20 w/ 235/40 rears)

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
