Hi people

I got some 18'' mags with pretty close to new tyres on them. less than 200km on the tyres.

235/40/R18 Zetum tyres all around

Selling because I was told these mags came off an R33 - failed to mention I would need a 5mm spacer and to flare the front guards to make them fit.

so now I just want to recover mostly the cost of the tyres so I can get some new tread on my stock rims.

I don't know much about wheels, so I cannot offer any offset insight - there are some numbers inside the mags I could get a photo of if anyone thinks they might be the offset figures.

I'm pretty sure they'll need a balancing - can see where some of the little weights have come off already.

I'd like to get $800 for the mags/tyres - open to reasonable offers.

Found the thread I got these tyres from -

where they were listed as:

JDM Deep Dish 18 inch Mags (Rear: 18x9.5)

If my memory serves correctly the fronts aren't as wide as the rears - I wanna say 8.5, could have been 8 (tyre monkey told me amidst a bit of a ramble)

Bump

Any offers at all - I'd consider trading for stock rims with good rubber or something to that effect

I'd even consider trading for fmic setup for r33 + cash my way, or cat back exhaust + cash my way (assuming sub $500 value)

don't be shy, I'll consider any offer

the back wheels fit an R33 perfectly

the front wheels need a 5mm spacer (illegal) and maybe some guard work.

I drove it for about 2 hours in total with the front wheels on - there's this corner in front of my drive-way which causes something to scrub somewhere around the front passenger wheel - I'm not sure if it's the tyre scrubbing on the guard or if my front bar was hitting the road, my driver side guard has been flared a tiny bit from a small ding just below the headlight and the scrubbing never happened on that side, so it could be something as easy as that.

You're welcome to come have a look, I'd be happy to put them on the car and show you exactly what scrubbing I'm talking about.

i wish i could but im in townsville

Number from inside the front mags:

30

18x8

and I can't be stuff taking the back wheels off to check them

PRICE DROP $800 Now $700 ono

Edited by Raven33

I'm not sure how they would go on a 34 - you're welcome to come over and see if they fit.

Here is a link to a forum thread about wheel sizes & offsets for Skylines - if what I think are the offset details on the front mags is correct then there's a good chance they'll fit

As for painting them, there are some guides in the DIY section that cover painting mags - doesn't seem to be too hard a job, more a test of patience

Here is a link to a guide on these forums.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
