hey guys, just wanting to find out if these will fit my car http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=150790658484&index=0&nav=WATCHING&nid=59062035108

im not really after the look how the wheels sit outside of the gaurds either, i think the offset is +30 and its non turbo so its only got 4 studs.

thanks .

Depending on your height and tyre size if your car is low and your running wide tyres eg. 265 you will need to roll the guards but if its at standard height you wont have any problems

here is an example of 18x9.5+30 it sits nice and flush 245/40/18

cheers guys much appreciated, fronts rims are 8.5 so hopefully they wont scrub and my car is sitting pretty low at the monent tyres are just under the guards but it has coilovers so ill just jack it up abit.

How much camber are you running? I'm interested in this almost exact setup

you wont need camber on the back, mine is fine and the teins are lowered to there max on the back, but my tyres are 245/40 on the back,

fronts will rub on 3/4turn and inside of the wheels grates on the hub/strut, id go 9wide on front if doing it again.

id like to run 265 on back but not sure if it will fit though, my arches are rolled , i dont want to damage the panel by trying to arch it ..

anyone done the 265 on this riim?

Sorry mate that's not my car, I'm running 18x9.5+12, you wont need camber arms it will naturally camber in. If your looking at running +30 you will just need to roll your guards you can run 265s shouldn't have any issues as one of my mates is doing it.

9.5 on the front is not that practical, you either have the car sitting a bit high, or you have camber and with camber the front tyres wear out fast and obviously not as much contacting the road in general, but it looks the part and fills the arch nicely :yes:

Not sure what you mean by not practical? they are fine and in fact you have better handling when you have camber set to the front the only down side is camber wear on your tyres but that also happens to any setup if you don't go and have your wheel alignment done properly regardless of offset etc...

For your information you do not have to have the car sitting "high" i had my guards rolled and slightly pulled and i can dump my car on its ass without any issues, i have no scraping issues at all even with full lock. Its all in the guard work.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
