Finally found a "more" suitable set. 19 x 8.5 +5 dish 80mm front and 19 x 9.5 +12 dish 86mm rear. I also put a deposit down. Supplier assured that i need rolled guards 5-10mm but nothing too major. Im abit uneasy the more i look at the offsets though. Any insight as to what im in for? Any help muc appreciated

LOL u will more than likely need flared guards and a respray once your paint cracks, unless you are planning for widebody forget it

i have spoken to a few guys that flare/roll guards. 5-10mm flaring is not a issue. I have seen cars with similar offset and even wider rims then mine aswell. What tyre size do you guys recommend as i need to order them soon?

buddy the offsets are what is going to make it difficult for you not the widths. you need rims that have a +30 offset or simillar.

the offsets that u sre suggesting are ment for gtrs

Don't listen to these pussy's, the rims will fit fine. On the front you'll only need to roll the guards, on the rear just roll guards with a light flare. On the front just run a 215 tyre (unsure what profile for 19" rims) and on the rear run a 235 (or a 225 would be fine also). Maybe get some adjustable camber arms for the rear while your at it so you can pull a bit of the negative camber from the rears and then flare the rear guards to suit.

Will look pretty tough. :P

dont worry mate i aint listening because i already paid for the rims. I was fully made aware that rolling and faring will be needed..dam gota love the dish. They are in stock too so dont need waiting period from jap either. Anyone else recommend tyre sizes?

Good luck Drgnball. I hope you checked the front wheels are at least standard disk type so they clear the GTT front brakes. Hope whoever you have pulling your guards out do a good job and don't crack your paint. Post up pics once you are done...and don't let us spot these wheels on the For Sale forum coz they don't fit :)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
