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.

Yea I know what dish is but someone was always going on about dish when the offset was mention without considering the model/design of the rim itself. The fact that he's probably better in mechanics than I am, confuses me when my own understanding. So what I originally thought was right. Between +22 and +15 with same design/size, the +15 will appear to have more dish because its closer to the centre of the hub. The only way of having more real dish for them is to get bigger width size.

Dan I saw your wheels the other day and in the flesh they are good, even Noel liked em! l If its gonna be chrome it might as well be volk!

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

GT-AVs are 2 piece, I am not sure how/if they can be widened

Harrys good to just check cars out and chill/dinner... not really the chill all night kinda thing. I thought of heading there since I'm around the area + gotta pick the wife up after work... HAHAHA!

Anyone heading to freedom tonight? I dont mind giving the car a quick wash. Speaking of which, where GABNR?

Yea they look a lot better in real life comparing to photos. I'm jealous of the lowering ;)

I guess I'll have to live with the 4WD till the end of next yr.

Pretty good price and looks good too!

:)

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

Generally multi piece rims can be widened by taking them apart and putting in a wider centre hoop or whatever its called. I've never heard of anybody chopping and rewelding a rim back together. I doubt you would be able to do that without causing some serious issues with the strength of the wheel.

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 :(

1 piece rims are more expensive because of the way they are made. Pressing the material into the shape of the rim means they use less material but it is denser so you get stronger and lighter wheels. 2 or 3 piece wheels can still be as strong but they will be heavier.

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.

Thats it.

XT7 FTW :)

Pfft. XD9 ftw :P

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

Its more difficult when you're buying them second hand. If you order them new you can just specify what offsets you want. ;)

Will be going the car wash ;)

Didn't you buy the Tein Super Streets? Can't you adjust them further?

Dish is determined less by offset and more by brake clearance. Most quality rims are available in 3 different clearance sizes to allow for varying size of brakes.

2 rims same offset can have varying amounts of dish as a result of different "disc" size as it is called.

It is a factor in rim purchase that many have neglected to their dismay when they find their new wheels wont clear their brembo's etc.

;) thanks man

Haha dont worry man youl get there :)

XD9 = too many spokes and too many teenagers telling you you have sik dish mang, I once had sick dish and wanted to kill myself after about 3 weeks of cleaning teenager Jizz off of the wheels lol

BAHAHAHA

You can weld STEEL wheels.. yes. I've done standard Nissan alloys to run SICKS ONLY - NO STREET USE.

I'd question welding an alloy for street use.. It can be done though.

The best is just buying new outter or inner shells/bands/barrels if you have a multi pce rim

And old man Jizz. Those things looked pron ;)

Only queers have less than 10 spokes.. ;)

I love the bum, but only your sisters!

Driving tonight?

And old man Jizz. Those things looked pron ;)

You can still do that?

Hahaha, only if you pay for them. I'm running stockies now! My sis' wedding next year raped my bank account. So yea, gotta live with it until later next year.

What time are you heading there? I'll probably be free after dropping the missus home around 9:30ish. Anyone else coming??

Noel: Which is why Rays' are good. They have the list of offset/size/fitment online! I dont know how can anyone got the wrong model for their car from Ray. Researching does help and I find that list they have is pretty much all you need. Like you've said, they have disc type too which applies to GT-Cs. Same size same offset but wrong disc will f**k your brembos or any big brakes.

the old man Jizz was the worst part

no actually it was that the car had a wicked paintjob, made 400hp at the wheels but it was the cheapshit wheels that were by far the worst part of the car that got every one excited ;)

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
