Well i am looking at buying a set of Work Emotion XD9's for my skyline. the only problem that i get is that i haven't really got any idea of how to work out the offsets for the wheels. Firstly i dont mind if i have to use a spacer on the hubs but i would prefer not to, and secondly i want the wheels to have a lot of dish, front and rear.

One of my mates has get a set of WORK VS KF 18x9 (+26) and 18x10 (+20) rims and they have lots of dish and look awesome. follow the link to see pics http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Eo...98#entry3917898.

Now what i am wanting is something like his wheels but obviously in the xd9s. I am looking at getting the size size wheels with the 18x9 in the front and the 18x10 in the rear. if you could help me out with this offset problem it would be greatly appreciated.

for those dimentions you will need guard work.

i run 18x8.5 + 30 and 18x9.5 +30 and this is a good place to start as those dimentions sit perfectly flush (read a couple mm out) on my s1 gtst.

you need to think about the possibility of paint cracking etc.

for the bigger dish you could go 18x8 +20 front and 19x9 +20 rear with good results (this will still need a MINOR roll and probably strechy's)

Hey bud, We have a set of work emotion XT7 in stock at the moment in white 18x8.5 +25 and 18x9.5 +17. Normal retail is $2250 + postage but I can do them for $2050+ postage as we are trying to clear some room for new stock etc. If you want the XD9 we can order them for you aswell.

Get the lowest offsets available in the XD9's. From memory i think its 18x9 +20 front and 18x10 +18 rear, or even a 17x9.5 +17 front. Front will fit fine with rolled guards, a 215 tyre and some negative camber. Rears will fit with a roll and slight flare with 235 tyres.

I couldn't find any good pics of a R33 with low offset XD9's, but here's a few tough pics of R32's with XD9's.

Green R32 has 18x10 +18 225/40/18 in a Federal 595 and 17x9.5 +17 federal again 215/45/17.

Silver R32 has 17 x 9.5 + 17 with 215/40/R17 tyres up front, not sure about the rears.

R33 has fronts 17x9.5 +12 with 20mm spacer so -8 with 215/45, rears are 18x10.5 +26 with 245/40

The R32's are perfect examples how good low offsets make a car look TOUGH

Give abu a PM. He's got some white XD9s on a purple 33 GTR. Ask for some pictures of them or even look for his for sale thread. Should have some pictures in there. I'll post them up if I stumble across them.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
