post a pic up of the rims youre thinking about buying?

i got some multi spoke rims on my r33, no pics tho... just put em on last week. ill try get some for you tomorrow if i got time during the day :blink:

i think the speedy cheetahs i were gonna get were 18x8 on the front n 18x9 on the back i cant remember the offset but i think it was in the 30s i dont know much about offset so what woul be the best offset for me without rolling guards

ok ive seen these rims i like i was thinking off getting them in 18x8.5 on the fronts n 18x9.5 on the back now they come in a lot off differant offsets they are +15 +27 +30 +40 +42 what would be the best offset to go with without having to get my guards rolled or

heres the pic i promised hehe, and also you wont believe your luck!! my mate just got those for his s14. pic included, same sizes front/rear and all, apparently first in Aus to have them fitted.

mine are 18x9 +35 all round, 225/40 tyre front 245/45 rear... i would recommend around +25 front +18 rear for flush tough fitment or around there.

well what would i have to do to get them to fit the factory guards like do i get a smaller width do i get less offset?

i will be running stretched tyres so yer biggest wheel in all areas(size 18s, width?, offset?) that will fit factory guards using stretched tyres

cheers

Dude dont bother with china wheels, your wheels will set your cars look off imo :P I have r33 gtr wheels which are 17x9 +30 offset, and they dont have good enough fitment for me... something with like 17 or 18 X 9 with about a +20 offset will fit nicely under your guards(you will have to roll them) whats your budget for wheels? there are stacks of 2nd hand japanese wheels floating around that wuld look tough for under $1500!!! Good luck :(

Edit:- The 2nd set you posted up that the dude with s14 has look good for cheaper wheels!! so long as you get them in good offset like 18x9.5 +20 or there abouts. Also dont be scared to get your guards rolled or flared a bit :) will make the car look far more aggressive!

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
