hey guys,

my car is a manual S2 (narrower track in the rear).

i'm looking at ordering new rims and am tossing up between

19x9.5 (+22) all round

or

19x8.5 (+22) front, 19X9.5 (+22) rear (wider in the rear to compensate for the narrower track).

can anyone foresee any probs? tyres front and rear will be 235/35/19 (as i have them already). will rolling diamater be affected much from the extra stretch on the 9.5 rears over the 8.5 fronts?

I run 19x9.5 +12 all round

The rears are flush at 320mm ride height and 245/35/19 tyres are a bit stretched. The rims are wider than the tyre, so the cloest thing to the shocks. No rear guard rolling needed on my car. Clears by 3-4mm

The +22 wheels you are looking at will run very close to rear shocks being 10mm further in than my car

You may need to check this before you fit the tyres

The fronts should sit pretty flush. As I have the R34 front, the guards a approx 25-30mm wider than stagea ones.

so darrin, perhaps a 10mm slip on spacer for the rear and everything will be ace?

10mm worst case. You may need to fit longer wheels studs, so more cost

You maybe ok without one or maybe just a 5mm

Also depends on what brand of shock as the diameter can vary. I have Bilstiens in mine

auto series1 wont help as it has wider rear track. i have 18x8 with a 34+, they sit in abit, standard kind of offset. the front is about 10mm of perfect flush and the rear is about 20-25mm but its hard to judge with 2'45 degrees of camber in the rear.

i rekon your second option is good but you need a lower offset in the rear personally, fella i got my coilovers off has a 15mm bolt on spacer on the rear of his 260RS for 17x9s.

or buy you first option and throw a 10mm hubcentric spacer at the rear

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
