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:

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
