yea they look really nice in person. ive tried 18x12 rimms (didnt fit) and 18x11 with a crazy offset of -19 these were about an each too wide. so i was thinkg spacers on these. hopefully there wide enough as i really like the style

are the guards Dmax items? they look freakin sick so does the wheels ;D hehehe

not quite sure what guards they are but definitly not dmax. mine measure 75mm all around or there abouts. ive kinda got my head set on them just hope they fit ok

Yeah those widths are fat but they won't fill the guards with that offset. No worries though, just run spacers and you'll be sweet. More width is even more $$ on tyres. Some 20mm spacers might do the trick?

EDIT: I just re-read your post above about the 18x11 wheels that were an inch too wide with an offset of -19 (!!!). In that case you'll need bigger spacers than 20mm! Those guards obviously flare more than they look to me in the pics.

Umm offset? Don't think +35 is gonna look flush. You'll need at least -6 for that to fill anything. And don't buy rims with crap offset with the intention of putting spacers on.

yea thats wat im afraid of.yea the use of spacers is a last resort but just want to make sure to see what they look like.

you need +10 or similar offset with ur guards...

hmm the offset the guy gave me said it was a guess as the 19's arent in the country yet. the offset maybe lower.i know they wont sit flush but will just have to wait and see how they look.

and yea ill post pics when i eventually get them on :D

Why the hell did you bother getting wide guards and then intend on getting wheels that won't fill them at all? It will look like absolute crap. To get those wheels with a +35 offset looking decent, you'd need 100mm spacers and thats just not going to happen.

Those 18x11 -19 wheels will fit with EASE if you stretch some 255 tyres over them. Don't be weak, get them!

just measured the wheels and width today. standard wheels measure 6.5 yea. the width of the guards measure 85mm so thats about 3.5 inches making a total of 10inches wide to fill the guards

or am i missing something here??

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
