Hey guys, sorry if this have been covered for so many time. i just wanna know what width and offset i should get if i want the wheels to slightly stick out of my guards, like the 350z in the photo. Cheers!

PS. I am thinking of getting 18X9.5 all around with 263/35 tyres and i don't want to use spacers to fit the wheels on my car.

18x9.5+20 will stick out nicely

They're not 265's though surely!

You are going to struggle to put a 265/35R18 on the front of a RWD GTS-T I would have thought :wacko:

18x9.5's all around will go no dramas but I am an advocate of 225/40R18 all round or 225/40 255/35 staggered set-up.

I have 18x9.5 +22's with 265/35's all round on my r33 gtst.

Need a guard roll and modify the splash guards up front.

Actually got 7mm spacers on the back aswell, just clear.

Shit pic but yeah:

So do you mean that i need 7mm spacers on the back to clear the breaks? Plus, will your ride height be legal in SA? Cheers!

Sorry for asking so many questions! :(

Don't need spacers, just put them on because i had the space to push them out a bit further. In other words i could have gone +15 offset on the rear.

Unless the wheels have ALOT of dish, they should clear the brakes no dramas in a +22 offset.

My ride height is around 100mm give or take at the exhaust under the car

whats the camber set up. surely around the -3 for that. My 9 +22 with -.2 camber is about 5mm out the guards. however when camber was at -1.5 i was able to slide a 8mm to make it almost sit the same

Are those TE37's?

The red spoke makes me think so :worship:

    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy. 
    • I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.
