Hi Guys,

Really need some pictures of anyone who's got 18" wheels on an R32 GTSt with +35 offset. Actually, anyone who has 18s on an R32 GTSt at all, please post a photo or two stating what the offset is, and what the wheel width is. I'd also really like to know what size tyres are on the wheels as well.

Thanks.

An offset number without a wheel width is useless. Having +35mm offsets on a 8" wide wheel is 32mm closer (or further away if wheels are already past guard) to a guard than a +35 on a 10.5" wheel.

If you're looking for people with +35mm offset just to see if that offset clears calipers, then that's not a good idea either. Caliper clearance depends on the style and face of the wheel.

Just felt I should put that information out there. :blink:

yeah but what adam means is that a 18 x 9 +35 wheel will still have differing caliper clearance between different makes / models even if they are all the same size and offset

I still don't understand why you posted up wanting to see other peoples wheels which have a +35 offset. Fair enough those who post tell you their widths, but how do we know you want a 8.5" (or there abouts) wide wheel with the +35 offset to see how it sits, or a 11.5" wide with the +35? Not trying to start shit by the way, just saying... :P

Anyway, if this helps, here's 'ford' car. He's running 17x9 +30 all round with 235/45 tyre on the fronts and 255/40 rears. Standard guards all round apparently.

And here's abu's car. He's running 18 x 8.5 + 28 up front and 18 x 9.5 + 30 out back. Rolled rear guards only. Not too sure on sizes of his tyres. I'm sure he'll see this thread and add it if needed.

i know... but meisters still look HOT!

it's only a matter of time before i decide that i need to flare the guards and will need new rims anyway :)

DAMN YOU COSMETIC AND STYLING MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!ONE!!!

Thanks for the replies. You're right about the wording of the first post, it doesn't make a lot of sense to just ask about the offset - but you've figured it out anyway. :)

My new wheels arrive today and I need to go get tyres. I'm getting 9.5" +35s on the rear and I'm worried that 255s will scrubs badly. The ride height is only a touch lower than standard. Am I going to get rubbing from 255s with that size/offset?

Adam, the WORK S1 wheels are 18x8.5 +28 fronts and 18x9.5 +33 rears... and i think u mean these 33GTR wheels(17x9 +30 all round)

Cheers

Ford

Ah I must've read one of your other posts wrong. I can't edit previous post. :ninja:

Hrmm maybe you need to get subie's current wheel's tyre sizes. The wheels you've both got are roughly the same fitment and with subie's current tyres, there's room for a larger tyre underneath with a guard roll.

What are your tyre sizes subie? The ones on the S1's.

u would be ok on 255 tyres if it only a touch lower than standard, i used to have 255 on my rear wheels which 18x9.5 +35 offset... see pic below (but i had my rear guards rolled)

Fitted them tonight and no dice, I'm afraid. Got them on no worries, but they're scrubbing at the back. No big deal, I'll get the guards rolled tomorrow and she'll be apples. Looks pretty damn good, I reckon. Although could do with a slight slight drop (10mm more maybe?). Not sure yet. Pics up soon.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
