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 :

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
