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

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
