Hey guys

Thinking of buying a new set of Varrsteon 2.2.1(te37 replicas) for my 34gt sometime this week.

Thinking of going 18 x 9.5 +22 front

and 18 x 9.5 +15 at the rears.

First question, would +12 at the rear look too agressive? as in, would they stick out of the guards too much? Would i have to roll guards?

Second question, what size tyres do you guys recommend?

Any help would be appreciated cos i'm pretty new to this stuff, thanks :)

yes you will probably have to roll the guards and yeah they will stick out a bit. will look wicked though. probably need camber arms in the rear to get good tyre wear/flush fit.

would go 235/40/18 tyres all round

Thanks for the reply mate :)

I have Tein SS coilys, the timid amount of camber that they create won't be enough for +12 ayee?

Should i go with +15's to be safe you reckon?

i dont mind rolling guards, but camber arms are a bit dear :(

^^^^ Not really because the rim isnt as wide as the rear.

Thanks for replying mate, i took the safe option and ordered +30 all round with 10.5's at the rear and 9.5's at the front.

I'll put up pictures when they are fitted :)

won't the front look more aggressive than the rear in that case?

No - 1 inch is 25.4mm, so there will be 13mm extra either side, and the difference in offset is only 8mm so the rears will stick out 5mm more than the fronts.

Hmm, 5mm isn't much at all ayee, it wont be noticeable enough :/

I wouldnt be too worried about looks - if it doesn't fit properly you will hate it regardless of how it looks. Not that i'm saying anything about fit, because I dont know.

updates? keen to see pics fitted

I ordered 10.5's with 255 for the rear, 9.5's with 235's for the front. Still awaiting shipment, paid a month ago :(

I'll put up pictures as soon as they're fitted

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
