Hey guys,

i know that someone posts this topic every 2 secs but i can never find it.

im getting some Work Emotion Xd9 for my 34

looking at getting 18's but thats about all i know for size (im not 2 big on wheel knowledge)

should i get 18x8 or 18x9 etc

and what offset would be bet on my car so that i dont have to roll guards or anything like that and so they dont rub?

thanks in advance for any help

by lip do you mean rolling the guard?? is there anyway around this as i plan to put on east bear wheel arch covers which give it a bit of a flared look and dont think that will work if the guard it rolled

Yeah its not really a major flare its more of a tiny lip which is bolt on i believe from east bear. its really nice.

but i dont want to have to roll my guards.

so maybe 18x 8.5s or something

when i say lip the guards i mean the inside part of ur guard has a small lip that protrudes inwards towards the wheels, roll that upwards a tiny bit so it sit up instead of out.

rolling and flaring guards measn pushing out the guards to fit bigger wheel/tyre . i have done this with my car to fit deep dished rims.

the east bar arch thing is quite nice there is another company that makes them in carbon called superior auto creative but im unsure if they make them for the gt/gtt body

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
