Anyone Have 18X9.5 Or 19X9.5 Wheels With +10-20Mm Or +35-45Mm Offset For Me To Try On My Car?

I need to try bolt on wheels with different offsets to figure out what the hell's going on with my steering. With the wheels directly attached to the hubs, the scrub radius would have been close to zero or negative, now I'm probably too far into the positive.

I've currently got 18x9.5 with +30 offset and that's making the steering pull hard whenever camber presents itself on the road.

I attached 25mm bolt on spacers (so it makes the offset at +5) and that's greatly improved the steering.

So yeah, I'd like to try the wheels and take my car for a short drive to see how it affects the steering behaviour to give me a better idea of what wheels to buy. I'll do all the swapping if the wheels are on your car.

Cheers

Have you had an alignment and shit? The offset should not make your car pull in different direction...

Yes I have and now I'm playing with the settings to make the car behave.

BTW, changing offset completely alters steering behaviour and feel. If you have five minutes to spare, read this http://www.hrsprings.com/technical/scrub_radius

I have what I suspect to be the completely wrong offset for my suspension geometry so I'd like to try some other offsets before buying what could be the wrong choice of wheels.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
