am contemplating going with a semi-aggresive offset ( aka guard roll only...no cutting or expensive body work)

anyone know if I can get away with either 19 x 9F 10R -9offsets on both ...or 10.5 rear with 0 offset?? also dont mind slight ( -2.5deg camber) and/or stretched tyres.

thanks oje.

had a look at that website...but get varying comments.

some with very low or negative offsets claim roll & pull while there are others with a higher offset saying the had cut & pulled fenders.

def dont want to be cutting anything, but rolling is fine coz i've rolled the fenders on a couple of my other cars with no issues.

What Width & Offsets are you running atm???

Stretch + Camber and you'll be able to fit it.

I'm Still waiting on my wheels to arrive from the states so i can't tell you yet.

Size, width and Offsets.

19x9.5" +0 Fronts

19x10.5" +0 Rears

atm very conservative

18 X 9 / 10 +31 with 245/40

there's 2 sets of wheels im currently looking at

19 * 9/10 -9 both f & r

or another set

19 * 9.5 +15

19 * 10.5 0

I like the 10.5 because it's got massive 5 inch dish

you will find that rolling the guards are a must on the 2nd set (10.5 -0 etc) victor has 19s on his. 9.5 front +12 or +5 and its poking outside the guards abit. illl dble check with him and see if itll help, but def needs rolling and stretch tyres. if you lower the car it will tuck inside slightly also.

How wide are your gtc's on the rear and what offsets if you don't mind me asking?

I'm contemplating a set of eurolines with nice dish.. wasnt really my choice of wheels at first...but i saw a pic of one in g35driver... dark blue car with massive dished eurolines....just thought I'd try a different look.

2nd set would be the go

fronts will be flush with no camber

rears will be poke , unless running around -3.5deg camber

i had 9.5" +17 Fronts with around -3/4 deg camber and it sat in about 12mm or so.

& 11" +10 Rears with around -3.5deg camber and it was poking 2-3mm.

f9.5 +20 r10.5 +18 steves spot on, im running stretched on the rears 255, if 275s were slapped on thn i need my guards rolled. even with the 255s and being lowered i have a few but rare occasions of rubbing on the rears if roads are bouncy. hope this pics help.

np. yerh im on the same boat, been looking at moving back to the evo side or the new is250, but the wa boys are telling me otherwise.

same here mate, trying to convince the other half that an evo 9 is actually a better family car. Had a look at a couple already but importing one in may be a better option.

decided to hold off on the wheels for now coz after looking at the flushness of ur wheels, the ones I was looking at would stick out 22mm more...too much poke and would require a lot of roll/pull and maybe -3.5 to -4 camber

Mine is actually 19x8.5 +5 front, 19x9.5 +12 rear, and they are poking out. Not the best offset to lower the ride height without doing body and camber works.

I think I am going STI! >_< But only after buying a house and saving up.

I am not selling my V if possible.

Hi Victor,

You'll be fine mate, our cars naturally camber negative when lowering so u will find that those wheels that look like they're sticking out actually tuck in once lowered.

i just wanted a different look...too many bigger and nicer gtc's out there at the moment >_<

    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
    • 2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.
    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
