Gday all, Got the rocket back from painters and looks mint. Just chasing a bit of info regarding wheel sizes. The DR currently runs 17x9 sparcos, however i am trying to find some wheels a bit more suited to the age of the vehicle - watanabe copies or similar. What i need to know is do any of you r30 owners have dished wheels that still clear the guards, and if so could you please tell me the sizes and offsets? I dont want to buy the rims i think will clear, and not be able to use them.

Cheers.

Sport Max do these nice watanabe/panasport copies. Come in 16 inches, not sure on offsets or width.

Mate Ghostrider has a legit point, I had 355atw in my DR and it was an absolute monster to drive on boost, lotsa fun yes but not a lot of traction unless u eased it on, with 600+ forget it, too light and RWD only.

Well lucky its my car then and i can run whatever power i like hey. I am setting it up for a couple of glory runs down the strip then changing turbo and tuning for hillclimbing which is what it will be eventually used for. Rest assured i have had plenty of hi-po engines in my time and am under no illusions as to traction availability on the street. It seems to me that this forum is primarily for bagging other peoples rides and opinions instead of providing positive comments and feedback..........

If you believe that my engine produces too much power, thats great. I guess thats the reason that i bought this car and not you.

Check out the 17x9.5's in here. bout 1/2 way down.

Their called ROTA RB's.

Cheers mate, i checked them out once before but they dont do them in the offset i need. i am running drifteks at the moment and will probably stick with them for a while.

Thanks anyway

Yeah your car makes too much power :)

Give some to me!!!

I missed out on buying your car when it was here in Perth but baulked and brought in my own stocker.

Wish I'd bought it now as I'm up to the price he was asking spent on mine and it's not even licensed yet (maybe today ...fingers crossed)

Yep love your car

Never met a horsepower I didn't like

Cheers mate, someone talking some sense at last!!!! Yeah the cost of building from scratch sure adds up, but even though mine was semi-built when i bought it, i am still spending tons on it to get it to where it should be. I think that once you get to 20-30k, stop counting!! Look on the bright side though, you could be spending the same amount on a Hyundai..............

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
