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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
