I recently got some 19 x 8.5 front 19 x 9.5 rear starcorp impul wheels

I asked for the deepest dish on front and rear. The rear is nice and deep just the way i like it but the front has practically no dish (looks wrong). After seeing alot of r33's on here with them i noticed there fronts were deeper then mine. I have contacted the supplier and they say i would need 8mm spacers on the front to fit the deeper ones i am after. If i had 8mm spacer on front and nothing on the back would that screw up the handling and what not.

Those with impuls how is yours setup up? mention size too please

Wont screw up the handling and I doubt you'll notice an increase of front track of 16mm but you will need longer wheel studs if you are going to be running an 8mm spacer. Your stock studs are around 27mm long, and with an 8mm spacer and the 10mm or so that your rim uses to connect to the hub, there isn't going to be enough thread left to safely secure your wheels.

Track is relative to the centre of the tyre, not the outside. The only reason for needing an 8 mm spacer is to clear the 8 mm that the offest is more inwards, hence the centre of the wheel would be in the same place as it was with the old wheels and no spacer.

With an 8 mm spacer you will need longer wheel studs.

Cheers

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
