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.

      I bought 6 new spark plugs to compare readings. They will be here tomorrow and ill see if meter is far off if it all. I know one is at least reading 0 so its best replace all anyway if one is bad, from experience. I still have to test the harness just to be sure its not a double issue and I waste my time haha-the old plugs are iridium I always thought those lasted more than 50,000 km.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
