hi guys,

i cant decide which path to take so im looking for opinions...i either stick with my current fitment which are Axis 19x9.5 +25 i think) or go back to my old r34 gtr rims 18x9 +30.

I must say that the Axis wheels have a much more aggressive stance & offset as i always thought the r34 rims could be a bit wider BUT both look nice...

The Axis look terrible. I'd be happy to take them off your hands!

Just kidding, the Axis look awesome! The 34 GTR wheels would look better in a different colour on a silver car I think?

19s look good but in the real world i'd go with the GTR rims

- you wont stand out as much

- better ride quality

- cheaper tyres

only reason i would run 19 is if i have brakes larger than 365 (over which 18" gtr wheel will fit)

Looks nice with the 19's, but IMHO silver rims kind of 'blend into' silver cars. I think a respray in gunmental or black would look good. :yes:

I was actually thinking of spraying the centres only (Not gloss though, maybe satin as matt would be too dull), or would it look better if I sprayed the entire rim? But I like the silver as well...hmmm

ride quality is surprisingly good but I think that is because I'm running tein street spec coilovers. I hardly drive it so I want it to stand out hehe and price of tyres are negligible as they will last me 5yrs plus with the km I cover

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
