Recently bought a set of work xd9s in 18x10 with a +18 offset. They havent been fitted to the car yet as its still in peices and waiting for paint. What i need to know is do these go on with out any mods, and will i need to stretch tyres maybe?

33 and 34 should be ok

not sure about a 32, think your going to have a little bit of an issue

thats the same offset /size 18/10/18 as i had on my NTO3s on the 34

why dont you just test fit one?

i havent ordered any tyres for it yet, i test fitted them on with the car off the ground, sticks out the guards a little, but i spose the car was unladen. Ive seen a few r32 gtrs with the same sized wheels, but unsure if any mods where done to get them on there

I had them on my 32 gtr with 235 tyres, only cuz that is what you could legally run on them in QLD and they stuck out 5-7 mm on standard suspension. So with some 265's and some lower suspension you should get away without flaring the guards, that if the guards havent been repaired for some reason in the past.

I'm in the same position at the moment with XD9's and looking at using a 265/35, would prefer not to roll the guards..

Here's a few from rimtuck.com without guard mods.

18x10+16 with a 275/35, -3 front camber and -1.5 rear camber and no guard mods.

18x10+20 with a 265/35, -1.5 and -2 camber and no guard mods.

When I first bought the car it had r34 gt-r rims with a 275/35, was going to add a 10mm spacer all round and it would of just cleared the guards. I checked the XD9's with a 265/35 against the old rims on a fitment calculator and it said the only difference is that the XD9's will stick out 7mm more.. I'm going to trial fit a tyre just to be safe before I buy a set anyway.

Here's the calculator

I run 263/35/18s on my XD9s the same size. You will need to get your guards rolled. I had them without the guards rolled and standard suspension and they used to scrub in the rears. Rolled guards and stiffer suspension has sorted out all my scrubbing issues.

im runing same wheel with 245/35/18 my gaurds are rolled, no clearance issues at all, goin to go 255 or 265 for my next set.

Is that both front and rear guards rolled? or did you get away with just rolling the rears?

i got 18*9 + 15's on my r32 gtr and i needed to trip the inner guard liners on the front and i need to roll the guards on the rear and i am running 245 wide tyres with a 35 profile

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
