I Have Too Much Poke!

I bought a set of 18x10.5 te37s for my GTT.

I put them on the car to see how they fit, and they poke out 30mm on both the front and rear!!

I am aware that this is an offset issue, but if i am to use these wheels, wot are my options in terms of lowering and camber? Ill be installing coilovers soon. I had the car on an angle in the driveway, which brought the front right and rear left wheels up into the wells. In doing so there was about 10mm gap between the tyre and guard, but also reduced the poke to about 10mm. Is this a fair representation of how the wheels will poke after lowering? Or will the poke stay at 30mm?

when you just lower it without actively changing the camber the wheels will naturally gain camber on the front and rear, usually more on the rear because it can be lowered more than the front

thought it doesn't sound like camber alone is going to fix your problem i think you're going to be up for a guard roll at least

sounds like you bought these wheels without putting a second of throught or planning into it.. ?

Let me guess... you are going to put some puny undersized tyres on as well! You should have at least 275 or 285s. You will need more than a guard roll you need extensions welded on (or buy some more realistic sized rims).

18x10 is extremely silly to say. an 18x10+45 will sit well inside the guard whereas an 18x10 +15 will poke quite a bit even with some lowering. DO your homework instead of asking silly questions like Will an 18x10 fit or will it be too big.

you will destroy tyres with aggressive camber, just get a smaller wheel.

if you dont have coilovers i assume the rest of your car is stock so dont really need the contact patch a 10.5 will give

go for some 17's in a 8.5 or 9

Sorry for hijacking but I'm about to put a wide bodykit on I worked out my stock rim specs to be 17 x 8 with an offset of approx +30.the rim sits a decent 30mm inside the guards and 30mm away from the shocks. I'm gonna put a body kit which will make the guards 30mm wider so abt 60mm space with stock rims. I'm a noob with wheels and I'm trying to find out what's the biggest width and offset for an 18 I can have without rolling and interfering with the suspension. Thanks

Hey Guys.

I always say it.

17>18.

This, I run 17x9 +30 with 255s on the back of my 33. Function :)

As far as I'm concerned any rim issues due to low offset can be rectified its just a matter of money and legality

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
