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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
