Does anyone know of a company here in Aus that sells 4 stud deep dish, looking for 15x8 and I guess

a 0 offset. Even a supplier in Japan that does'nt involve trying to decrypt pages of Japanese. Or if you've got some tucked away that your willing to part with would be even better. I don't want Wantanabes, but will consider other spoked items. I've looked at import monster and not much in there, quite like some of the hayshiracing mags but again it's that whole Japanese decrypting that is a Head F #@K.

I'd also like a simple Y or N to the C210 being a 0 offset. Cheers

15x8 0 would be a good starting place. wouldnt be a hot boso fit but if your just going for a tidy street car thats where id start.. best bet is before you spend shitloads is to ask around on forums and test fit some wheels. importing is not feasable, and even people who own imported wheels want more now.

sportsmaxx make some decent sized wheels for the money. just under $900 delivered for a set of 15x8 0s

alternatively there is superlites/ challengers but i recon the challengers belong on a XY falcon and the superlites on an escort. good sized wheels for the coin though.

heres some inspiration

HGC211F14x8-6R14x105-38.jpg

Front: 14×8 -6 Rear: 14×10.5 -38 F: 175/60 R: 185/60

I think a zero offset for the front would be fine in an 8" but rears will need alot more negative offset to fill the guards(going from the above pic).

As for finding wheels, keep an eye on www.ae86drivingclub.com.au

often see wheels in decent negative offset pop up from time to time.

Thanks for the info, my rear guards will be cut out shortly and flared fenders attached so no problem with fitting 8" rims. So 0 offset for front and back should be ok. Looked at ae86 tonight and there does appear to be a few rims like what I'm after selling there. Again thanks Ricky, Dsh4, are those Wantanabes? they don't look so bad. Don't suppose you post items from there do you?

Thanks for the encouraging responses guys, as i said in my opening thread I'm not so keen on the Wantanabe look. I've seen so many other mags on C210's all in Japan of course, so there must be a heap of different designs available. Probably just not over here.

Infiniteautosport.com.au I just found this site whilst googling sportsmax 002. They've got some ok looking rims. Mostly 2nd's by the look of it. Once again thanks for your helpful info. With each new reply I'm finding more and more rims and avenues. Cheers. Don't spose anyones seen some Indy style rims, the ones with hole instead of spokes, I do like this style. In 4 weeks approx I'll be selling my rims for $400, near new tyres on each rim post-44326-1235565084_thumb.jpg,

Message sent to Steve. Had a long think about this offset business last night, and dsh4 is about on the money. Looked in my C210 service manual last night and found that the offset is + 25, but that's for a 5' rim. If I'm going 8" or even 9" the offset is definately going to have to swing back into negative by a long way. Think it's time too seek professional help as I don't want to stuff this up.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
