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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
