Found out from a mate that there's a guy in briz vegas that chops rims an makes em wider . . . Anyone knw about this ?

ive heard about someone making a wheel have more offset by like welding on spacers or some shit

sounds backyard to me man and backyarders are dodgy

Your life depends on the 4 wheel! No dodgy... noo......

Hahaha... I didnt realise the offset. I still dont get it though. What I've gathered is most common offsets are greater than 20 and for most it'll be above 30.

Someone gotta gimme a lesson on it someday.

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

For those that MIGHT be interested, Adam (brizzy_rocker), John (yaface) and I will be there for dinner.

old lessons for old brandon

lets just say a 7" rim with a 45 offset is epic epic fail

so now you can see why the lower the offset - the more the wheel will stick out of the guard

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on :blink:

so just as an example; all these rear wheels are 9" ok, but with different offset

+30 offset

1240459815.jpg

+20 offset

1232000662.jpg

+10 offset

1239769203.jpg

0 offset

1238453123.jpg

-5 offset

now yes the guards and profile/width of tyre can vary n shit - but you get the general idea

class dismissed

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on ;)

personally i'd sell your wheels and get new ones which are correct width/offset etc

Still dodgy. It'll be even worse if you have a high powered car. Anything thats broken (intentionally or unintentionally) will not be as strong which is why 1piece forged rims are so exp.

Tris: guess what? I'm an idiot again, seems like always managed to go on the wrong channel all the time. I thought you were referring to the offset when you said 7... HAHAHA. Yes, 7" wide is fail. Fit maybe 205? I wish mine were like colin's 10.5 ;)

If you find that pic of my car you will see what 17 X 9 +24 is like. Althought I have rolled/flared the guards a bit.

personally i'd sell your wheels and get new ones which are correct width/offset etc

What are they anyway?

Back on those pic, yea I sorta figured out the difference between positive and negative offsets but I remembered someone told me its related to dish. Say if you've got +22 and +15 on the same wide and size rim, the +22 will have more dish and this is what confuses me. What I understand from looking at those cross sectional diagrams is the offset's got nothing to do with the dish size, its the width and rim design that dictates it. What offset does is determine how much your wheels will stick out or in from the hub.

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Not really man.

Simon's wheels are some of the strongest and most expensive and some of their models are 3 piece. They are made to your order though.

Forged rims are expensive because they are strong and light.

You might also find that some welded connections are just as strong as some metals....but you can't cut and weld forged rims, because they are magnesium alloy, because it weakens the alloy. Steel rims you can.

Dish man, is just a term for what some wheels have when the spoke doesn't protrude to the edge of the mag. For example. An XD9 Work rims has dish...and XT7 work rim does not. even though they can be gotten in the same size....dish is just a wank term used to discribed the flat surface between the spoke and the edge of the wheel.

What are they anyway?

My rims are Volk GT-AV - 19" x 8.5F, 9.5R not sure what the offsets are though the back fits perfect with f**k all camber and the front are about 10mm inside the gaurds

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Yeah Im not a fan (got none on mine) but it is hard to find wheels that fit perfect

im more into Lucy Pinder, or maybe Kim Kardashian, or if i was in a cougar mood perhaps Monica Bellucci or Cathrine Zeta Jones

Lucy Yes, Kardashian doesnt do it for me at all

over. rated.

True

Pretty good price and looks good too!

Fail width, Fail offset

ugh shit i just saw that those bc's are 17*7 fail!

Think thats for steelies mang. 3 piece rims you can get new outers for, but they are not chopped.

Was going to go into this but seems its been covered already

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

Harrys fail ;)

Good job

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
