hey guys

Well I ordered some Buddy Club PI's from modyourcar.com.au, here's the problem:

#1.

I own a 1993, R33 GTS - so it's a 4 stud pattearn (4 x 114.3 i believe). I ordered the Buddy Clubs: 17 x 8 all round, at a offset of 32 - I was fairly sure about 32 as being the offset, but now i'm a bit worried....will 32 be ok?

#2.

Once they get here I need some rubber (they should get here by Friday i hope). Whats the size I am looking at for the offset and rim size? Someone said:

........with 235/45/17's that will fit perfectly on your 17x8s.....

is that the size i'm after?

thanks guys

      Plastique? So there will be a limit to how much torque you can apply. I guess the short length probably plays well with that. You chose the length based on the room you had available to swing it in? I've made something similar with round bar, heated up and bent sharply, then a little spray with the MIG to fill out the corners of the 3/8" square and some filing to shape. I've also seen it done just using a short length of 3/8" square bar (or there are double ended male 3/8" socket accessories which can do the same thing) and a bit of plate with a 3/8" square hole broached through it to use as a handle that you can slip over the square drive. You could probably do the job you had to do with a 12mm box spanner too. You know, the sort that you get for spark plugs on whipper snippers etc. Box spanners are beneath scorn most of the time, until one saves the day.

      If the photos of the bars are as per current, then you are not on the stiffer setting. You are on the softer setting. Torsion bars are stiffer when the arm working on them is shorter.

      I'm trying to find more info about the composition of the bearings.  I found these ones; "The Upper and Lower bearing shells are comprised of a lead-free, Silver-based tri-metal material designed for extreme load applications." https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3929159-king-n55n54-rod-bearing-set-size-050-oversized/ And ChatGPT said; "The overlay material is often a soft metal alloy such as aluminum or a lead-based material." I'm just going to send myself mad. I'll just drain and analyse in a few thousand k's.

      Why TF would anyone paint up an R35 GTR as a f**king Hyundai?
