hey guys

selling these wheels for a mate, he doesnt have an account on sau but is on nissansilvia as username 'spenda'

the wheels are pretty much immaculate, only one with a small scratch.. these wheels have been collecting dust for quite some time now.. just holding my car up really.

anyways they do not come with any tires, they will be removed opun someone buying them.. i would also rather not post these as well local buyers preffered.. but if i have to i will.

sizes are

18x 9.5 + 12

18 x 10.5 + 15

price for the wheels is $3300

located in brisbane.

send me a pm and i will pass onto him.

GT-R owners, please be aware, if you run these wheels on your car and in 4wd mode, your attessa system will have a hissy fit as these are staggered widths on the rims.

You are aware that the width of the rim has nothing to do with the ATTESSA system aren't you? It is the rolling diameter that effects the system so appropriately sized tyres will see no problems at all.

It is impossiable the acheive the same rolling diameter.. if you guys choose to run staggered widths thats fine but don't tell the rest of SAU to. you need the same rolling diameter... and it is impossiable to acheive with different widths, even if the tyres are the same.

/end rant. kthxbye.

^ +1

not GTR sizes at all, will suit gts-t's etc..

^hahaha, are you serious? and what do you think would be a gtr size set of these wheels?

these would be out the guards a fair bit on a gtst.. here is a picture of these wheels on my s13.. please explain how these would suit a gtst? the fronts are only under because i have wide guards there..

most if not all sets of these seen on gtr's are 9.5 +12 (my fronts) all around.. these are the lowest offsets and widest you can get the wheels in.. well the 10.5s anyways.. as for the 9.5's they are still the lowest offset in that width.... now unless you had a full set of 18x10.5 at +15 you wont get any wider track..

anyways i will consider swaps of similar size and offset in the following wheels

^ The sizes are fine for a gtr clearly, but the set for sale have staggered widths, and yes will they will stick out a fair bit for gts-t's just depends on how 'hektik' you want to look or if your runnin wide body/pumped/flared gaurds like your s13.

Only reason I mentioned it being not suitable for a gtr is because I saw it first hand with a mates 32 gtr that ran staggered widths for a short time and it was playin around slightly with his attessa system....he then went same sizes/widths all round and problem gone.

thats fine, and i agree it would probably not suit the attessa 4wd system.. elaboration is the key :yes:

just out of curiosity what sizes and width wheels was he using when it was playing around?

and on another note:

weezy - im no genius with gtr's but; wouldn't the effects on the system be more related to difference in track width/offset and weight between the front and rear wheels.. not having the same rolling diameter doesn't make sense because they are the same diameter so theoretically that should not matter.. just the other two factors.

that said, if anyone in brisbane wants to trial fit these on their gtr and go for a test drive to check the attessa system to see if it gives you any hassles, feel free to come around but bring a hefty deposit with you, spare key to your car, drivers license and proof of current address besides on license.. yeah thats right, i dont have time to fk around serious buyers only haha...

Just plain wrong. A 265 50 series tyre has the same rolling diameter regardless of rim width. The tyre width/ratio has to be the same front to back not the rim width. Rim width has nothing to do with rolling diameter, Tyre width does.

Tyres of different build dates have been known to cause problems with atessa. It is _VERY_ fussy. Same wheel width and same tyres at the same pressure and wear as much as possible to avoid problems.. Been there done that.

ahh i just got this whole rolling diameter business you guys are on about

did some calculations and came up with these specs based on what tires i already had/have on there.

rear formula would be (255 x 0.7) + 18x25.4 = total wheel height in mm

total wheel height x 3.142 or pie = total rolling diameter in mm

rears 255/35/18 - total rolling diameter - 1997.3694mm

front 225/40/18 - total rolling diameter - 2002.0824mm

difference = 4.713mm

this is the tire specs i have on the rims at the moment from memory.. if you want to come try these on and see if attessa likes/dislikes it feel free... but as said in my above post bring a wallet full of cash and a lot of personal details.

Gosh, some bad info here. Step aside kiddies :(

You CAN run different widths front and rear on a GTR.

You NEED to make sure the rolling diametre of your chosen tyres are very close, not exact, but very close. Say, within 15mm rolling diametre front to rear.

(Think about it, that is LESS than the difference bewtween a fully treaded new tyre on the front and a worn rear isn't it :)

Save this to your favourites!;

Now, for shits and giggles, do the excercise, compare a 245/35/18 (for front) with a 285/30/18 (for rear). Now, please go and tell all ya mates :O

my calculations in my above post put the current tires they have on right now well inside the supposed 15mm..

Are you the seller as well :(

You can trial fit them on my car if you'd like :O

Want to see how the 10.5 +15 sit on the rear at least.

my mate listed them to make it look more legit then coming from a person with 10 posts haha

i get a bit turned off something thats for sale anywhere over 1k when its coming from a person with no reputation..

i wont mind trial fitting as long as you have some interest in buying them.. if not then i don't really want to waste the time.. sorry to sound rude, but thats just the way she goes :O

Ok, fair enough.

Something of this value, you'd hope the buyer would come see them before handing over money, so you could have easily listed in.

But yeah, I was only kidding, if they were 10.5 all round, maybe a bit more interest from me.

Good luck!

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
