Hey peeps,

I'm just after a quick answer on this as I just came inside from ripping more stuff out of the car and I got thinking about my wheels.

I have lmgt2 rims which are 17 x 9 +38 on the rears and 17 x 8 + 35 (I think) on the fronts.

Would the rear size with the + 38 offset fit on the fronts without guard rolling etc???

Would like a bit more dish up front and the same size all round of possible.

Ta

could go down to 225/235 on the 9" easily.

i have driven with my 18 x 9.5J offset +25 on the front of my GTT before and it was sweet...although i have had a bit of guard work and i wasn't executing hairpin corners at great speed on bumpy roads so i didnt really test it.

wait till your 255's are worn out than get a more stretched fitment (get a tyre place that will let you try on a couple of different size tyres and go for a drive) and see how it goes.

Im running 18 x 8.5 +29 on the front, which would work out to be not that different than your rears. Front guards have been significantly rolled.

deff put some pics up when fitted will look very nice

they were *sniff* 18x9.5+25 all round (flush-ish)

currently rolling on 17x9.5+17 all round (10mm poke)

new rims on order are 17x9+12 fr 18x9.5+12 r ;)

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
