9.5 +45 on the front will be interesting, I'm thinking you will need decent sized spacers on the front as well so it doesnt look heaps sunken, may have issues hitting the suspension without spacers as well although im not sure about that

All right I run a 9 +14 on the rear with 3degrees neg camber and rim is out side the guard ,so a 10.5 + 20 with a 7mm spacer is going to stick out 20mm more and have 18mm less clearance inside ???? How's that going to fit? Jet r 31 runs a 9.5 + 25 with a 5mm spacer so they don't fowl his rear coils so that works out to 9.5+20 so yours would have 6mm less clearance to the strut so it would hit and extend 20mm more ?

you 'might' get lucky and get the rear to work with a 7mm spacer (15 would be better to gain you some inner clearance).. below are pics of 18x9.5+0 all round, the car has an s14 cradle fitted (same width as manual stagea) with 3deg negative camber on the fronts and half a degree negative on the rear. the 20x10.5+20 with a 7mm spacer will have the outer edge sitting exactly the same but i've included a pic of the inner clearance i had - which is why i suggested a slightly bigger spacer as the 20" rim in more than likely to foul on the coilover spring seat/spring. with an auto rear cradle you'll be up shit creek.

front will fit with a 25mm spacer, but i'd recommend something like 40mm or so to at least have them match the way the rears will fit.

good luck.

Hmmm, I have r34 gtr wheels on the car now. There 18x9 +30 all the way round, I just assumed the 20x10.5 +25 would sit 5mm less from hanging out the guard, and thought the front would hang out 15mm more. Why is it so confusing? Can anyone here put me onto a good workshop that will make this work? I will just pay cash so I don't have to stress and do manual labour trying different things.

seems you don't quite understand how how offset and width are related, punch some numbers in to this to get a feel for it http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

honestly, if you want the simplest option it would be to buy another pair of the 9.5+45's and run 25mm spacers all round.. then the final result would only stick out just over 10mm more than the current r34gt-r wheels you have on your car now.

This is what i have to deal with, rears fit nicely. Hang out abit tho, gonna buy the right tyres for rear soonish.

Fronts i need spacers maybe 10mm to clear the brakes or even 7mm. plus i need the right tyres also, i will be stretching tyres to go on these rims, only option i have really......

took some shit pictures of my brakes on front my apologies.

they suit the red perfectly, but i guess it depends how you define 'fit'. i think you'll still run in to dramas with the rear, more-so the inner clearance - have you checked? only reason i ask is because we've all seen the tell tale marks of metal to metal contact on the threads of rear coilovers in these things from running ~9.5+15 when going over bumps (ie gaining more camber when the suspension compresses) and a 10.5+25 has 23mm less clearance, so those wheels would have to be sitting pretty darn close already..

theyll fit easy with a narrower tyre and some camber. would roll your guards to be safe too

as above, camber isn't an option with the little clearance he'd already have to the rear strut

big +1 on the big brake kit!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
