Hi Guys

I ordered the following last week and would like some advice on what tyres to use and also will i need to roll up the fender .

Varrstoen 2.2.2 19 inch Wheels 9.5 / 10.5

Any one have a roll up fender like Eastwood Fender Roller tool, i dont think the baseball bat techniques will give great results

cheers

Fred

offest, camber, tyre size and height will all be a factor in whether or not you need the gaurds rolled

If in NSW PhillB is the guy

BTEW there are a hell of a lot of better options in 19's than generic TE37 copies

I ordered with +12 offset even i dont have brembo brakes now. I know there is loads of nice tyres out there but im happy with these for now :)

So which type of tyres to get? Im looking for a look like this

tyre choice has been covered heaps of times, give the search function in this section a go and have a read of what some people have said about tyres. You can stretch pretty much any tyre. You'll need to lower the car if you want it to look like the above picture

can i go for

Front – 19x9 +25

Rear – 19x10 +25

My wheels are 20x8.5 and 20x10 +25 front and back and they sit inside the guards a fair bit at the front. Back wheels need probably a 15mm spacer to be flush and I'd say a 25mm at the front to be flush or there abouts. Try to get close to low teens offsets and you'll be sitting pretty.

strech,?

height?

will be pretty haggas looking without a decent drop

this is a 19x9-11 with a 215/35/19 (will prob go a 225 next time) thats the equivilent of 10.5+7

But you hmay have some iussues with inner clearance on lock with the extra width

19x9-11 215/35/19 and 19x10.5-3 245/35/19

Coils maxed out low

Rears guards rolled, fronts untouched

    • Thanks, I checked from the back of the cluster and no reading there. I undid the connector and plugged in the wires directly to start from where I'm getting a reading: https://imgur.com/a/W8JI6Yr Weirdly enough when I tried to get a reading from the crimps that connect to the fuel pump assembly, I got nothing. Not sure what's my next step as I have admittedly limited knowledge with electricity. 
    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
