hi guys, thinking about buying a set of versus Gripp rims for my C34 stag, ive read another thread with heaps obout the offset, but nothing really about 20" wheels, and not 10" wide.

these are the sizes i thought might fit

Rear:

20 x 10

5/114.3

+38

Front

20 x 8.5

5/114.3

+35

the car has HKS hypermax III coilovers, but im hoping the 10" will miss the shock, and being +38 sit just inside the guards as the car is fairly low.

heres a link to the wheels

Hi Mitch,

Is your Stag an auto or manual? You will struggle to fit them under an auto rear end and they will hit the strut. My car is an auto with 18 x 9.5 +25's. With the 10" +38, you have 19mm less clearance on the inside of the rim. I have about 15mm clearance between rim and coilover body. I've also got camber arms to fix the excessive camber when you go too low, meaning I have more room that with factory arms on the inside of the rim.

Also, my rims are in line with the guard.

mmm didnt think so its manual, factory RS4S. basically i want to fill the guards out nicely, and this thing has a phat kit on it that makes the stock 17's look like they are toy car wheels. i dont necessarly need 20's but i want somthing unique and plenty of dish. the rims need to look solid and tough to match the car. any suggestions?? i have around 2k to spend on them, car is getting complianced atm, pick it up next week. i am planning on showing it as its immaculate, i have a 300rwkw r33, so power is not what im after.

there is another thread with pics of this in reagrds to the kit, but heres a couple.

You will be able to get 10's all round if your car is a manual. 18/19 x 10 + 20 should give you the look you're after. 20's can make a car look like a rollerskate...

Here's mine with 18 x 9.5 +25. 15mm bolt on spacers up front.

awsome, thanks for the pics. thats exactly the look im after, thats good news,it means i can come down in size and buy some better rims as long as i can find he right offsets. i dont want to go all "bling" and dump it to some ridculous height, but filled out guards, maybe losing just the top of the rear tyres as yours are is perfect. as for camber adjustment, no idea if the car has aftermarket things or not, didnt get under it to look, all i could see was a nice set of HKS hypermax III coil overs :D

cheers for your help.

another thought... if i was really set on those oringal wheels... couldnt i put the 20x8.5's with the +35 offset all round....i know they would sit in a bit, but i could thow on some 8mm or 10mm spacers....

heres another one, i found i can get the te37 style varrosten wheels in a good range of offsets in 19's. i was looking at going all 19x9.5 with a +22 offset which should sit nice??? or if they will fit, which i doubt, putting the 19x10.5's on the back with either a +12 or +0 offset....

i think they wiould look pretty phat, not really what i wanted but i need them before christmas, cant sit around and wait for somthing to come along.

have a look on www.option1garage.com

i know your in vic but they can ship + tyres or just use it as a guide (they sell a lot in gtr offsets which is what you want)

i'm planning on getting some gtr-d's in 18x9.5 +12, pending what they look like fitted (and my getting some spare cash for them)

i think i worked out you can get a set of 18's + 265 tyres for about $1600 from o1g

i looked at some advanti's that are for sale on here, not the same style though, kinda msh type for $1100. they were 20's, but still not the look im after, they are kinda more luxury style. i dont mind the ROTA GTR-d which have a fair bit of dish on them, and still have that jap look about them, but i found them only in 18's, and i really want somthing bigger, they do fill out the guards, but the cars ive looked at with them, like the C34 with the pink ones, the car is dumped just to get them in the guards to look nice, and there is no way im going to get my car that low with the kit on it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
