The most you want on the front is a 9" rim, 10's on the back. 18x9 +30 front and 18x10 +18 for the rears to stick out a bit and 18x10 +38 for them to sit flush

I highly recommend JDM concept for a decent set of jap wheels at a reasonable price.

the BEST thing you could do is go and check what size wheels and tyres they are that you have on there now and get out your tape messure to check were the wheels will sit using http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp which will tell you everything you need to know.

Are the Grids you are looking at the same as the Grid Drift that can be found at driftworks.com? On their site, there's a few different grid designs that they offer. My understanding is they start the drift wheel at 8.5 and wider.

Depends on tyre size also.

ie. 18 x 10" +38 with 265/35/18 would be my choice for rear. If you want some rim poke you can drop the offset to 18-25 or so but you'll have to forgo tyre width down to 235/40 and put silly camber on and lose grip. Fine for a cafe racer.

Front I'd try to get something like 18 x 9" +25-30 with 235/40, or even 9.5" +22 if you want some poke (again you'll have to drop tyre to 225 or so and some guard rolling and remove inner liner).

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
