hey guys

im in the market to get new wheels

currently using stock ones and massive gaps from the wheel to the guard

ive seem some of the jdm pics and i really like those aggressive lookin wheels

prob looking at te37 replicas

but the offset thing is a lil confusing to me, what would make it look phat and stick out of the guard a lil bit

without being too obviously illegal and get defected.

also are the offsets different for different wheels??

im after sizes like this

te37 replicas would not come with any sizes/offsets to give you the look you are after.

are you plannin on working on your guards? eg. pump/flare? or just a roll with the guards.

what size are you after? 17s?18s? also widths?

im after 17'' matte / black rims

um theres these te37 replicas for lik $800

apparently their offsets are +35 - 40

so thats small?? caz im not really sure with the whole offsets thing.

5x114.3 ? was thinkin of running em with spacers or something?

width im not sure. thats y i had to ask

wat usually gives the best look? size and width wise?

im not really the smartest guy wen it comes to wheel measurements.

and guards ill prob leave for now. lol

hey subie nice rims mate

but sry not the style im looking for tho

First picture of the R32 is my old car, those rims have huge offset and are a tight fit for standard R32 guards

Fronts are 17 x 9.5 + 17

Rears are 18 x 10 + 18

Stretched tyres to make them tuck under the guards

Fronts are 215/40/R17

Rears are 235/40/R18

You still need to roll and slightly 'pump' the guards to get them to tuck under, the way it sits though, in Victoria you would get raped as they are protruding out of the guards

wow u had a very nice 32 with massive dish wheels

i love em

and thx rekin for the advice.

so i should be looking at 17x9 with about +30 offset not looking at any major work on the guards to fill em out?

btw do u no if driftek's have the sizes that i want?

edit: also do i want the front and rear tyres to be same size? width and size wise??

im learning so much :D lol thx fellas

Edited by cake69
also wat do u guys mean rolling the guards?

or 'pump' the guards? i no what flaring is but these ive rarely heard

guard liners? :P lol

take a look under your rear guards on your car.

There will be a thin peice of metal.

Rolling involves flattening that peice of metal to provide more clearance for your rims.

Guard liners are the plastic liners found in your front guards.

you mean like this?

Nah, you don't want something like that. That's Mexican spec. hahaha :sick: Maybe a little camber and it'll look better.

Look under your guards, if it's standard, it'll look something like this,

Those guards 'rolled' will look like this,

Anything really 'tough' looking is illegal these days. My rear wheels slightly stick out of the guards, not even that tough and they still got me pulled up. This is in a shit bomb of a car too. Just don't let the police see your car from behind and it should be okay... :laugh:

doesnt take much to roll your gaurds, panel beater, wheel shop. good luck on your choice, driftek should come with the right sizes aswell.

a quick question, not trying to hi-jack just noticed somthing, if you flare your gaurds so as the rim doesnt actually sit out of them is it still illegal due to it being wider than standard?

Yeah, most likely will still be illegal. In Victoria, you can only increase your track by ~26mm. For the wheels to come out of the guards in the first place, they would have to exceed that limit. Most cops won't know that anyway.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
