I reckon the Rays te37 with the red lip (2nd pic)

I agree, cant go wrong with te37s.

My favorite are jdm drift spec rims, Super advans 17's with a offset no more then +20 by 10s

People will think your car is a track car, plus they are hot.

What ever you go with, remember offsets is what makes the rims look hot.

mate its your car pick what you want dont post every possible wheel here as its unlikely you will get a 100% approval.

work out the overall style you want from your car and then what is important to you in the wheel is it looks or light weight performance focus?

if you havent tried hit up

j-imports.com

importmonster.com.au

and the for sale forums here and ns.com lots and lots of rims up for grabs..

Im a newbie at offsets, been reading guides etc but still clueless :P

i want the centre of the rim to go inwards but dont know what offset that is.

I have stock suspension , i was wondering what offset can i fit up to without any mods?

My current stockies are 17" 40 offset.

I want 18" as my new sets.

Sorry for being a newbie, dont want to be flamed at :cool:

you need to get yourself into the offset thread.

in shot it will fit easily im pretty sure r34 guards are quite generous you can get away with a 18x10 +20 or so without much effort at all perhaps a roll.

what you have posted above would be seen as a bit conservative but depends how agressive you want to be.

for example my r33 is running 18x9.5 +15 front (20mm wider front guards) sits flush and a 18x10 +20 rear

but other things count as well such as stretching tyres etc.

are you talking about concave rims? or deep dish rims there is a difference.

this is deep dish

PC270008600x450.jpg

this is concave (spokes going back in)

P11000022448x18361836x1377.jpg

Rears will fit fine, don't know for sure but I think 9.5 +38 on the front will sit outside the guards

Thanks for the help mate! one last size questions! I PROMISE :rant:

What about this?

18x8.5 +32

18x9.5 +12

Since the front are less wider, i guess it wont sit outside the front guard

but what about the offsets? will both Offsets clear my calipers?

The wheels im looking at are Work Emotions CR Kai's and the wheels are brand new, therefore dont think i will be able to trail fit it before i buy it.

Plus i want to find out before rather than just taking the sellers word for it.

Cheers mate.

9.5 +12 will need a rolled guard with stretched tyres. either that or it will just poke out and fender will need a flare.. its a kinda hardcore offset, more suited to a GTR.

the sizing im going to get with new wheels is as follows if its any help.

18x8.5 +30

18x9.5 +35 or +30 for staggered look, depending on what type of wheels i get.

You should be able to trial fit them if u take the car there.. just dont tigthen the wheel nuts so they dont get scratched.. jack it up remove your wheel and slide the new one on and check for guard clearance..

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
