WHEELS:

* 20x8

* 5x114.3

* OFFSET +35

TYRES:

*

NANKANG 245/35's

The offset is good for a ARX but not sure how that will sit in a RS/RX.

I have seen a car with 20 inch rims and that was lowered so should all fit.

Cheers

Yes.

You will fill out the guards nicely (width wise) and your speedo will only display 1.7% slower than your actual speed.

Assuming your current wheel is the stock wheel is the 17x7 +45, 215/55's that came on RS/RX's

Try these to make sure

Sorry to hijack your thread Houdini :P

I just went and checked out Osaka rims, how would I go with a 19" x 8, +38 (or +40) offset on my slightly lowered RS?

I decided to drop down to 19" to avoid any guard rubbing or tyre shredding, would be running 245x35's.

You should have no problems, going to +40 18 x8 from +45 17 x 7 pushes the wheel out about 17mm.

When I measured I had around 28mm to inner guard lip on the rear and about 25mm on the front. This is at stock height, lower will introduce some camber, so you'll have slightly more clearance.

If you're unsure use a straight edge (I used a 600mm steel rule) across the face of the rim, then up under the guard.

These are the rims I was looking at today

I also liked these one's but there was a concern about them clearing the brakes once they are upgraded to 350z brembo's etc.

I'm hoping the black & silver will set off well with the tinted windows and the wine red colour, plus I wanted to keep with the whole japanese theme hence why I was eyeing off the Osaka wheels. :D

Don't mind the first one, the second is a bit fussy, too many surface changes, look like they should be on a yellow hummer. I reckon six spokes looks a bit funny too (Just my opinion tho').

Black will be a nice contrast against the red, a little machined alloy will pick out the chrome on the door handles. I'm a sucker for a black wheel. :D

Something a little understated, with the right offset looks tough.

Thanks man :) i think the first one is growing on me now, it was my second choice but I really want to upgrade the brakes after the turbo is hi-flowed etc. so the first one is the most practical.

I've also have chrome or silver so yeah, black will be something different for me ;)

I agree the second one's look like they belong on a hummer, not that there's anything wrong with that :nyaanyaa:

I like both of them and in fact the first one is something that caught my eye. I started the thread because I found some second hand one's for cheap-ish. I'm keen to get a set of mags and drop the car down a bit and I'll be happy for a while as I think that sort of look is nice and tough and sporty and matches the performance of the car a bit.

I too want the brembo's. Hey ask 'em how much for two sets of the first wheels and see if we can get a discount! I'll come up for lunch, we get our wheels fitted and bob's your uncle.

I'm looking at a set of wheels on here too but no tyres and I'm unsure how much it'll set me back once I've got rubber on them. It'll be a temp set on the ways to the ultimate wheels. Hmmmm. Decisons decisions.

No pic on the wheels site of them on a car so I found this one.

Hey on that, would a set off this dunnydoor fit our Stageas? What I mean is if we found some 2nd hand (this set was for sale but sold already) could we get them for our cars?

Bis pm me with price on these (i know what the 2nd hand one's went for)

Nah man, Commodore pcd is 5x120mm, Stagea is 114.3x5 :sick: offset is ok +42 versus +45 (rs/ rx).

The wheels might even go on, but you'll end up breaking wheel studs - not good.

Late model Falcon is correct pcd, and offset is +40, so all good,as long as you don't go too wide.

      Thanks for all the replies fellas. Gonna finish putting it back together and see how it handles the set up. If it starts pinging it’ll be parked.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).

      Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.

      I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating.

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
