ok ill start with what i have found when test fitting some different rims... this is my opinion only, dont blame me if im wrong :D

on the front i could fit a 9.5' rim +40 (it was sticking in the gaurd alot and im sure u could go a 9.5" or +30). The +40 was really close to the suspension on the inside of the rim but choosing the +30 offset or whatever will be much better on both accounts

9.5" + 40 on the rear was touching the coilover only just and i could probably get a +35 on the rear if u make it run heaps of negative camber (2 camber kits), tyre wear wont be your friend though :whistling:

on the rear i would personally go 9" wide only and a +30 offset (same as r34 gtr rims) and that is perfect with some camber to tuck it under the gaurds, on the front u can run 9" + 20 or +25 easy with abit of camber.

r34 gtr rims fit great on the rear, u just need a 10mm spacer or more on the fronts and it works out good (r34 gtr rims are 9' x +30)

these fitments mentioned are with plenty of rear camber to tuck them under the gaurds so dont expect stock camber with these rear offsets to clear the rear gaurds.

hope its some sort of help, but please try a test fit if u can to see for sure.

p.s. To answer the question i think u have no hope of fitting a 9.5' +22 under the rear gaurds without them sticking out about 13-15mm at least and thats with alot of negative camber

You'll fit those sizes easily on the front and rears. You will not only have more inner clearance than me but your wheels will also not stick out as much.

The fronts will look very sunken though (in my opinion)

I run 18x9.5 +1 fronts and 18x10 +20 rears. Front camber is 1 degree, rear is 1.5 degree. Rear guards have a lip (just the inside lip bend up). For these camber levels you probably wont need after market adjustment as when the car is lowered to suit the wheels, they will naturally camber in. Camber kits are often installed to remove camber.

Go for it IMO

hey Alex love the wheels mate, i think u have pushed the limit of offset on the rear though haha.

how far do u reckon the rim is sticking out from the gaurd on the rears?

and how far do the fronts stick out with the 25mm spacer on?

i would love some aggresive offsets but dont want them sticking out the gaurds more than 5mm max.

The fronts, maybe 15mm

The rears, 10mm or so.

It really depends on how you measure it too. I mean, my lip sits on my guard when I have enough weight in the back, but then, if you measure "sticking out" from the top of the wheel then it would be sticking out 0mm, but thats with about 2 degrees negative camber.

The best bet for anyone is test fit before you buy, if the wheels hard tyres. If they don't, find something similar and see if you like the fitments.

I am more of the attitude "get the wheels fit, make the car fit them second". However, my guards are full stock, only a lipping of the rears was needed.

i did go test fit those rims and they came out looking pretty much the same as urs, looks mad, but just not the look im after... thanks for every1's imput, realy helped and should keep helping every1

Each to their own, its understandable.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
