Ok, I came to the conclusion that i need some new wheels with more dish so i thought i would ask you guys what fits under a 4 door without flaring ( and prefer not to roll as i dont want to crack the paint, But will if needed). Something in a 17 X 8/9 i would imagine but some help with offsets would really help.

Thanks for your help.

Front 17 x 8 +35

Rear 17 x 9 + 42

front offset looks crap though, but I don't think you can get much more offset than my rears, my rear rims are around 1/2 cm from my hicas rack.

I think the insides of my rears are rolled though, but not flared

^^^ your doing it wrongggggggggggg^^^^^^^^^^^

Most rims (each rim is different, this is just a gernalisation) the wider and lower the offset you go the more dish it will create. A +45 9 inch rim will usually have next to no dish while a +5 9 inch rim will have a noticable amount. Remember this is just a generalisation as each rim differs - some create taper, some have different disk clearance etc et

PM Nisskid and he will be able to tell you exactly what you need being a 32 4 door owner.

Here is a link to my mates 4 door to give you a rough idea to work off -

There is plenty of infomation on here and nissansilvia for 32 4 doors and rims.

yep thats a fail.

mate get 17*9 all round with an offset between 24 to 16 depending on how baller you want to go (or how much guard work you want to do)

17*9 + 24 would be nice, and would just stick outside the stock guards ;)

edit - with that said, r33 GTR wheels look sexy on 32s (17*9 +30)

if you want maximum dish with aggressive fitment, something around 10" +22 with 235 stretched onto it, standard camber arms (decent amount of camber), then on the front 9" +15 with 215 stretched on, with a decent amount of camber.

yep thats a fail.

I'll agree my front offset is shithouse, but i don't particular want my rims sticking out of my guards, and the rears have a reasonable amount of dish

nisskid, is that yours in the last pic? looking tuff bro. how'd you go about doing your guards? i'm after a simliar roll/flare on mine. did you just use a bolt on hub guard roller and bog? and also how far can you roll 4dr rear guards withou getting a pressure dent? the swage through the middle should mean you can get a heap more than silvias etc? only limiting factor would be the door

yeh it's what mine looked like about a year ago, looks a bit different now lol

that was just pulling the flare out with some clamps, then bogging. honestly i probably wouldnt recommend doing it again, it really doesnt give u a lot of clearance with the shape of 32 guards. i pulled mine a decent way, but i know of mates who've popped their rear 4dr guards, as i personally havent popped mine myself, not sure how far u can go before it does.

hey guys, im looking at buying some new wheels for my 4 door but its a 4 stud ....

is the offsets different in N/A's due to smaller brakes ??

and what would be perfect size and offset to fill out the guards without modifying the guards at all ??

ive read somewhere that if you get 18's they will clear the brakes and you wont need to worry about offset??

im just really confused so yea

cheers guys

Nope.

But you will find it can handle more dish as the NA 32 4dr's had shit house tiny brakes.

I'd upgrade brakes to the Type M items which are the R33 brakes.

Then if you had enough cash do the 5 stud hub conversion and then the world is your oyster.

I had 17 x 8 +18 on the front and 17 x 9 +24 on my old 4dr.

But as nisskid has stated you can go wider and lower offsets.

hey guys,

found some rims i like and that will fit my budget (either koya drift teks or koya rg teks).

will 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 +34 all round fit under a 32 N/a 4 door Without Modification ??

if not will 18x8 and 18x9 +34 fit ??

cheers

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
