i dont even know my offsets now, will check it when i pull the rims off. but i will calculate it or check it.

also my stagea is AWD

waiting time is about 2 weeks since hes doing 19" rims now and next week will be doing 18" then the following week is 17". woop

problem is i may need to find some spare rims to just sit my car on for a couple of days while they get built.

Also if you domt mind me asking, whos spinning up these new barrels (outer rims) for ya...

I can only think of 2 mobs,

one ive dealt perfectly with, the other is a c*%^ that just doesnt wanna do odd jobs such as widening

paid him 50% pf his quote, he said 4wks then pay balance on pickup

only 14wks later i had to force them to give my wheels & money back cos he hadnt even started yet...

PM me as the above was at least 3.5-4.5yrs ago

and i need to go down this path again with 2 other sets of wheels...

see my sig

Being awd, you will have to keep the rolling diameter the same for front and back or the attessa will trip out! Which makes stagered tyre sizes very tricky, probably best to use the same front and rear! The offsets wont cause any problems, but stags have more room in the front than the back, and 10" will be a very tight fit (will need guard rolling)! *I just picked up 18x9.5 +14 and they dont fit, going to need guard mods (would be the same fit as a 10 +20)!

Im currently using 18x8 +35 with 235/40 all round, and the back fits ok, but the front are swimming in the guards; so a 9 +20 would be a good straight fit (using same tyres)! Id personally use the same front and back! Im about to put the new rims with 255/35 on, but doing some serious guard work to fit them (rolling dia. is about the same as factory)!

my 2cents...

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
