define "jdm" look.

i was running -6 rear and -4 front 17x9 with 215 tires for awhile. got sick of pizza cutter tires, now im +10 17x9 with a 255 tire, all 4 fenders rolled.

youre not going to get the "jdm" look without rolling your fenders. people here do it for 40 bucks a fender with the rolling tool and a heat gun

Perfect look in my opinion

18x9.5 +15 all around ! Rear are rolled/flared, front are rolled only

That's not my car, but on mine I'll probably go with work XD9 in 17x9.5 +17

hey just a quick question,

im looking at 18 x 9.5 CR kais for my 33, in the pic are they 18 x 9.5 with +15 offset? CR kais come with a +12 offset so that means theyll stick out n extra 3mm is that right?

i dont wanna fork out thousands of $$$ and get it wrong lol

hope you can help, thanks heaps

If you haven't had your guards rolled, the offset on those rims must be very high...like +40 or higher at a guess...

my 9.5" +22's stuck out heaps on the rear

I'm running 18x9's with 265s on my R33 and have not had my guards rolled. I don't get any scraping either.

However my car isn't as low as a lot of 33's here seem to be but I'm not stock either.

Offset is key.

I'm running 18 9.5 +20 all round and have had the guards rolled, but it looks JDM.

Old pic, different front bar now.

lookin tuff!

bit lower perhaps? :)

auss13 - the offset is written on the inside of the rims :)

TYRE SIZES TO KEEP THE SAME ROLLING CIRCUMFERANCE AS THE 16" FACTORY TYRE'S ARE FRONT 225/45/17 AND THE REARS 255/40/17 17 X 8 + 25 front and 17 x 9 +35 rear. THAT WAY YOUR SPEEDO SHOWS THE CORRECT SPEED ALS OJUST ASK YOUR LOCAL TYRE SHOP TO MATCH THE 16" ROLLING CIRFUMFERANCE TO YOUR NEW TYRES THEN U WILL BE OK

:D

    • 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
