I am currently in the process of looking around to try and find a new set of wheel. Firstly i have a r33 gtst. it is dark gray in colour, and currently stand at the normal height. i have only done the exhaust so far. Before i get any major engine works done i want to have my car looking good. the work i have planned for the enginge is bigger f**k off front mount, greddy forward facing plenum, fully forged engine, computer, bigger turbo (HKS GT Sports possibly), then obviouslvy all the supporting mods to suit.

Anyway back to the wheels, i am currently looking at a set of Volf Racing CE28N. Can any one help me with the offset size. I am looking at getting 18"x8.5" on the front, and 18"x9.5" for the rear. Also can anyone them me a rough price that these wheels can be bought for, cause i am trying find out if $2220 is a good price for brand new wheels.

I only have the standard brakes all round and just worried about clearance on the front calipers.

you can go bigger... (lower offset)

i'm running 18 x 8.5 +30 & 18 x 9.5 +30 and they sit out of the stock guards by maybe 10mm but with 225 / 245 tyres streched on they fit under perfectly :thumbsup:

Can anyone tell me if these wheels will stick out past my gaurds. Casue i have no idea. the wheels are 17" Work Xd9s x 8.5 +30 offset. Can someone tell me if it will work casue i am unsure, and i dont want to have to go and flare my guards.

They will fit fine.

Here are my size's

Front 18x8 +28

Rear 18x9 +30

The 17" xd9's you are looking at getting will sit like this compared to what mine sit like.

Fronts = will sit 4mm closer to the gaurds and the inside of the wheel will sit inside the gaurd 8mm more than mine, so these will fit fine!

Rears = will sit inside the rear gaurds 6mm more than mine and the inside on the wheel will sit inside the gaurds 6mm more than mine, so these will also fit fine, but will sit inside the gaurds a little bit.

To be honest i would be looking at other sizes/offsets , yes they will fit fine but they will sit inside the gaurds a little bit, not so much the front as they will extend more than mine, its the rears that will sit in quite a bit, i guess you could always get some bolt on spacers.

Heres what mine look like, keep in mind that my car is pretty low so i have a bit of negative camber, hope this helps anyway!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
