ok so i have searched and read through about 40 of the 75 odd pages in the skyline wheel fitment thread...

found a couple similar results...

after pics of fitment with stock guards (obviously flared/lipped) on a 32 GTST with

17x9.5 +12

fitted with 215, 225 or 235 40 or 35 series tyres. Rims are already on the way so just sussing out sizes. fronts running -3.5 camber rear camber is -0.75, would rather do guard work than change alignment settings ;)

Here's mine with 17x9 +5 and a 215/45R17 on the front. I haven't had my camber measured but at a guess I'd say I'm running about -3deg. Your rim would stick in 1mm than mine but not sure about what tyre you'd wanna run.

As for the rear you'll need a small flare I reckon.

Hope this helps a bit.

thanks bud keep em coming...

currently running 17x9.5 +12 on the rear with a 215/45 federal and pokes a bit, front are 17x9 +15 with 225/45 and sit flush .. just unsure on 18s and tyre profile...

was wanting to run lower profile but not too sure how this is gonna stretch.

18x9.5 +15 all round

stock flared guards

235/40/18 feddy 595ss

low.

now camber arms or anything.

mannn thanks so much this is exactly the specs i was looking at and ive been wondering for ages if it will work with no camber arms, you rule!

i did my guards.

they were rough as i had 1 day to do them before hitting the track, i got them much better after when i had time.

use tape to tape up how you like the flare, then use a hammer and smash the shit out your guards.

i started hitting soft but realised i needed to hit HARD..

I'm just about to purchase some rota Grids in 18x10+22 and 17x9+15

I know these would need some guard work and some neg camber, but any idea how much. Shouldnt be heaps if i have some stretch on the tyres, rears especially?

This is on stock 32 gtst guards btw

I ran 18 by 9 +22 and with 235's it rubbed even with lipped guards and max camber on the rear, fronts were just ok with camber and caster arms.

Imo with stock guards and mild lipping a 9 +22 is as low an offset as you should go.

There is still alot of clearance inside on the rear so a 9.5 or 10 should fit easy with correct offset.

Btw running anything smaller then a 235 on a 9.5 is stupid and dangerous, if you cant fit the wheels properly dont buy em.

Unless you want to roll and pull the guards a little then a 9 +25 ish is good on the front, the rear can have wider, say a 10 but the offset has to be right.

There is also issues with inner clearance on the front, especially with 18's as they only just cleared the sideskirts and front bar.

IMO 17's are a good compromise between looks and practicality. 18's look better but you can fit 17's alot easier, I have just bought some 17 by 9 +22's and even with 245's they didnt really rub, nothing compared to the18's which rubbed on every corner on the back.

Plus 17's are alot cheaper for tyres :thumbsup:

so the rears fit.... 235/40/18 with 18x9.5 +12

unfortunately I didnt think about the effect having a 33 LCA up front would have on the track so they sit about 12-20mm from the guards... going to try massage guards some more, failing that go a weaker offset.. this is a last option lol.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
