Will 18 x 9.5 +30 fit ok?

I know the GTR rims fit fine and they are 9.0 +30....

Dont want to buy rims that dont fit...again!

I would stick to 9 inch +30, mine stuck out a little on the front and were nearly rubbing on the inside but they are 17's.

I must admit, it makes the car handle the corners well with the 9 inch rims with semi's but the refinement I have now with the 8 inch + 235 road tyres makes up for it. No hint of tramlining or noise, good grip, its only the softer sidewalls causing it to feel a bit squirmy turning a tight radius corner.

Can anyone vouch for the accuracy of this site?

Apparently if I go 245/45/18 x 9.5 +30 it'll be the same (clearance wise) as my stock 215/55/17 x 7 +45 setup...and it'll stick out 30mm

please clarify

i have been told from numerouse mag wheel dealers that 9.5 on the stagea is to wide and will creat issues

i am looking at dropping my m35 on some BC BR coilovers and running big break kits witch mean ill be running 19 inch mags

so what size width mags can i get with 19s? that i can use on the stagea that wont rub 8.5s or 9s

if i get a spacer does that mean i can go wider ?

with offset does a - or a + offset mean a bigger dish etc

or do u guys recomend 18s for the stagea

Spoolin12 , is running 19x9.5 at what must be around+20 odd now. At +30 his were still under the guards... Just. The tops tuck in more the lower you go.

He'd be the man to talk to, as I think his rims are probably the widest and the most aggressive offsets on here.

+ or - doesn't mean anything with regard to dish; only offset. However, the closer to a -ve offset you go; the better chance of dish.

He told me he was running +40's? so he must've been running a 10mm spacer...

Guess my 9.5 +12 LE37's ain't gonna fit without guards being rolled!

What brand/model rims did Spoolin run?

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
