come buy/try my meisters if you get desperate, similar sized fronts. another inch wider at the rear

depending on what your trying to acheive, a lower offset and more width would look better. i dont think CR kais would suit though

an 8.5 +30 and 9.5 +30 sits pretty well with very little camber, but if you want width, stretch and camber add an inch all round and drop the offset

Sedan offsets are way weaker than the coupe fyi. On my coupe I run 18 x 9.5" +20 on the front and 18 x 10" +12 on the rear and both sit nicely flush - mind you that is with some camber as well.

You should post this question in the V35 section to get better answers in future :

FYI there are only a handful of V35 owners on the SA forums.

Stock 17" sedan wheels are an awful 17 x 7" +45.

Use the following link to assess tyre offsets :

The answer to your question is that 8.5 +32 is 32mm wider than stock sedan wheels, and 8.5 +38 is 26mm wider than stock sedan wheels.

Given on my coupe I am 29mm wider at the front and 43mm wider at the rear than the 18 x 8" +30 stock coupe wheels, I would suggest that the CR Kais you have chosen should sit pretty much perfectly on your sedan. Keep in mind if you lower the car then top of your wheels leans in (which will reduce any possible tyre scrubbing), or you can run skinny tyres like 214/45 or 225/40 18s to prevent scrubbing, or you can just roll your arches a bit. But I don't think they will scrub anyhow.

To be 100% sure why don't you just trial fit them?

because they are still in Japan :rolleyes:

I am thinking now about 18*8.5+32 front and 18*9.5 +38 rear as I been told from Work Australia by using

- Front 18x8.5 +32 with 235/45/18 - +5 mm outside the guard

- Rear 18x8.5 +38 with 235/45/18 - -17 mm inside the guard

I wanna rears to be flash with the guard

as i said earlier. mine are similarly sized. your welcome to try them to ensure how they sit when you get cr kais

Hi,

I'm running Volk GT-V's on my 300GT in the below offset:

18x8 +33 (55mm dish) 114.3x5

18x9 +37 (75mm dish)114.3x5

Front offset is quite poo but never had any drama with scrubbing when I was running lowered RS-R springs on either end of car. (Now using 350Z springs)

Cheers

that needs a wider wheel or less offset, good choice in wheels though, suit it well

Agreed, on both counts.The offset is spot on for the car though.

And this our family car and the added cost of wider tyres sucks.

Something like attached look pretty good though.

You'll hardly see the concave in the rear. There will be none up front. I'd go the 9 +17 front and 9.5 +17 rear if you want the concave

and dont buy new. heres a 8.5 +32 and 9.5 +30 for under 1k landed

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
