Also just keep in mind your tractrion control will become more sensitive if you go for the staggered fitment as the wheels front to back end up being just slightly different in diameter. This is what heappened to me when i went for the staggered fitment on my 18's. It will actually start cutting in if you hook it into a corner a little hard without any wheelspin at all.

It's a little annoying but its easily turned off so doesnt bother me at all.

U can never EVER get a set of wheels to look good without rolling the guards. It's a common misconception that rolling is flaring. Rolling the guards is very common and simply means carefully rolling the horizontal lip up to near vertical. This can be done quite easily without cracking and allows U to run ur wheels about 0 - 5mm in from the edge of the guard like they should be.

It'll handle better, ride better and look better in 18".

Are U saying it only comes in 8" wide and 9.5" and nothing in between? I'd try and get 9" with about +25 offset front and 9.5 +30 rear to be on the safe side from rubbing with 235's front and back. U can fine tune the fitment from there to get it perfect with camber if necessary.

It's not impossible. Just unlikely. My guards are not rolled.

They comply with your "0-5mm inside the guard" rule, and it doesn't rub under heavy load. Even if I reduce that negative camber in the rear, it's fine.

I'd agree that they look better if they were out another 5-10mm or so, with a bit more neg camber dialled in, but as it is they sit reasonably flush.

I haven't ever seen or heard of ANY tyre retailer that cares enough to choose the right width and offset wheels for a car EVER. You gotta do ur own research and tell em EXACTLY wat u want.

A lot of tyre retailers seem to be completely ignorant to the concept of offset.

I've seen people posting up threads on other forums with the recommended wheels for their cars, with widths half an inch wider than stock but with higher-than-stock offsets. Talk about appearance fail.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
