I love the agressive look, gonna buy em and drive till i get defected :(

That REALLY is not a very smart idea! Its like waving a red flag at a bull!

Like the other guys have said, as soon as they spot the over-sized wheels on the car, it is an invite to go all through the vehicle, and you have the potential to have all sorts of things defected... including not having enough water in you windscreen wiper reseviour.

Could become bullshit expensive, and time consuming, and for what? having some Mexican poke?

Haha so true mate, that wasn't a very well thought out comment

I'm gonna carefully consider offsets/sizes before i buy.

most likely 9.5's all round with +15 at the rear and +22 at the front.

I would probably kamehameha the cop if he pinned me for my windscreen wiper reservoir :/

Is that offset going in a GTR? They will still poke out on a GTST. I had 17x10 +18 on the rear.

naaa, going on a 34gt. +22 is pretty flush for the fronts from what ive heard, concerned about the +15 for the rear.

oh well, I've bought the wheels, just awaiting postage, i'll post up pics when they are fitted.

I've got 17x9.75 +25 with stretched tyres on my r32 gtst, stick out a bit.. Had them on for 6months now and been passed hundreds of cops only been pulled up twice and never had any probs with the wheels at all.

That doesnt stick out anywhere near as much as this guys 10 +15 will

Another thing to keep in mind that the cop asked me about was what size are the standard rims and what amaze rims are on the car. Lucky they were only 1 inch bigger so he couldn't get me for that either.

Hmmm, I was going to run 18x10" +22 on my GTT, But bit worried they will stick out to far. Opinions ?

Yeh, mate,, you're gonna have the same problem as me, I'll pm you a few posts ive found of guys that have done +22?

it's too late, i've already ordered the rims, so i'll post up pictures soon, when they are delivered and fitted.

I think the gt's are 16" so i should be right i think, cos i think the limit is 2" from memory.

will stick out by about 25mm, meaning you'd need stupid camber, massive stretch or a decent flare to have a chance. the picture ive attached is a 9.5 +20 running around 1.7 degrees camber. making anything bigger fit would take time and money.

Got pulled over by the cops 3 times for various things , not one said anything about the wheels , and it had a fair bit of poke to....

in saying that....i don't advise doing that as its not worth knowing your riding on a defect every time you sit behind the wheel and as with all defects its up to the discretion of the cop.

also , flush looks awesome :)

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
