What size wheel/tyre is that? Looks like you're running 16" rims on a 50 profile tyre :S

worse 17inch rinch with 235/65/17" goodyear wranglers.......

My tyres where stuffed on the other wheels so saw these wheels and tyres CHEAP secondhand thought I would see if they fit

Pros: I have ALOT of road clearancenow, Awesome over bumps/sand/mud, my exhaust used to scrape out of my driveway, My speedo now says 110kmh when doing 113 on gps (perfect for 110kmh cruise limit instead of 99kmh on 225 45 18"s), I dont get looked at like a 16yo with chrome dinner plates and dish...these wheels and tyres are actually lighter than the kranze wheels that where on it

Cons: When I launch and through twisties it the tyres squeel a bit, its wierd being up so high through hills etc, I guess my acceleration would be down a bit.....

But its a daily and not my race car, so not really bothered

could be from type of the tyres where they're meant for normal use & a bit off road instead of grip performance?

was thinking about getting high profile tyres to match out the speed discrepancies but have to see what size to get (my speedo is off by about 6%)

They are definately not a performance tyre haha

But I needed $2000+ to get the wheels and tyres I really wanted

I used http://www.alloywheels.com/Tyre_Calculator to work out speedo/ diametre etc

agreed that they look better then the chrome dinner plates LOL...

it actually looks not TOO bad...just the sidewalls looks massive. But like you said, there are some advantages...

Yeah its pretty funny in person (just the height dif/ground clearance).......Need to find some stock height rear springs now, anyone?

Would prefer some in SA but will give it a week and get back to you, thanks

I have a complete set of stock suspension in SA if you're keen...

Are they Ford Territory rims?

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
