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

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
