How Wide Can I Go Before I Stretch A Friendship?

I'm sure it's on here and I have searched, but to no avail

I'm keen to hear from anybody who has run 18 x 10 rims on their R32 GTR. I might want to do this but will not be rolling or modifying guards or using spacers. They are not allowed to foul the suspension or body work under any circumstances (full lock, under compression). I will not be running camber to tuck them in, either.

So, do they, can they fit? I'm looking at Rays / Volk TE37s so if you have experience with them, them so much the better.

Cheers.

have to roll guards, 37mm off set not sure about camber which would depend on the low the car is riding.

lol no.

+37 will leave u no inner clearance, u will probably need to go at least as low as +20 to give u a decent amount of inner clearance at the front. at the rear u can get away with less inner clearance, but u also have more guard clearance.

Sold a set of 18x10 +18 to a customer here in SA and he didnt have to roll/lip or do anything to his gaurds. He is running a 265/35/18 tyre so very very minimal stretch. Not sure what camber he is running but visually it doesnt look like much, mabe -1.5 to -2 degrees.

No. But the set I'm after is on a boat and they might be 10", hopefully 9.5" or 9", so I'm trying to see if I should wait for them or go new before the peso drops any further.

Cheers for that, but the link is 23 pages and dates back to 2003! I've not got that many bed times! Will try and track down JF. Is that his 'handle' on SAU?

Such a pity these are not forged as they are the best looking rim going.....Thanks for the post.

I had fitted to my car 18x10 +15 aluminum Work Meister S2R and have just purchased and fitted Work XD9 18x10+18.

I'm happy with them being cast, they are good quality. If I could find some forged TE37 cheap enough i would have grabbed them...

You could really do with knowing the exact sizes and offsets first before purchasing...

Mark n Russ's old R32 GTR had 18x10.5 Te37s.

"For The Win."

An enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment, message, or post. Sometimes genuine, but often sarcastic.

As I'm old, does FTW mean you like camber or you don't?

Thank you. Yeah, the 9.5 are +22, but not sure what the 10s should be. Around your offsets would be my guess. Your Work rims look fantastic. What ever I go for it has to have lateral clearance for AP CP5555 calipers on 355 rotors.

Sure is...if you sign up to JDM Style he has a thread that shows some close ups of the 10.5's on the car...might be on SAU as well

"...As I'm old, does FTW mean you like camber or you don't?

I'm old too (if you look at the wasteland thread asking about age, that is), lol...

Dialling in some negative camber improves grip when cornering. It places the tire at a more better angle on the road, transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tire, rather than through a shear force across it... and it also helps get the top of the tyre inside the guard. :)

Now I'm laughing. I know what neg camber is, I'm more interested in FTW. I looked it up and it can be sincere or sarcastic. I take it FTW was an endorsement of neg camber. I'm running about an extra degree from stock. Not much but enough.

re the brakes, the work rims fitted over my Alcon callipers with 355mm rotors.

I dont think they have quite as much clearance as Weds or Volk though... (both are a lighter wheel than work too)

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
