Hey guys, my baby needs some new wheels and tires so I decided its a good time to change them both in one go (since I most likely need different tires when I change) but I'm a little bit lost with the whole offset of things I want them to sit, at the most, flush with the car and not sticking out stance type deal. They have a bit of dish to them although I'm a little embarrassed to name the actual wheel with the cause I'll probably get a bit of crap from it, but on my budget I wasn't left with much of a choice. Currently I'm looking at

18x8.5+35

18x9.5+32

Will this look nice or absolute dog balls? Would it also be better to get the same offset? (This is just what the shop has in supply) I'm not afraid to roll the guards if required

Thanks in advanced, James

You will need a guard roll if your car is lowered and you plan on running a 235+ tyre on the back. I have 9+32 on the rear and they needed a roll for hitting the twisties/DECA. If you're stretching the tyres (225 or less), you might get away without one.

I have the same size/offset all round, so I recommend going at least 9+32 on the front as my fronts sit well with the guards - just needed a roll. 8.5+35 will be sunken looking.

Nah stagger it, If I could put a 9.5 on the rear I would, but there are none available in my wheel type so I stuck with 9 all round. The rears are slightly sunken. I think you'll be happy with 9 on the front, 9.5 on the rear and approximately the same offset all round. Won't be stanced but it'll look good lowered and you won't have to flare guards, just roll.

I don't have your number so PM me.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
