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

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
