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

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
