Legal size for what?? As long as most of the tyre is cover by an arch of some sort then it can be as wide as you like!

not in NSW without and engineers report.

legally ypu can go 1 inch wider and 1 taller then the largest option in the placard.

so, non vspec, will be 17x9

vspec should be 18x10 (I think, cant recall width of bbs)

still has to be within guards, not foul aywhere on body or chassis, and not increase track by more then 1inch.

Are you planning on running staggered sizes? Because you'll have a bad time.

I run 18x10 +20 with 265/35/18. Guards have to be lipped and run some negative camber.

Would 18x10 +25 or +30 make things a little easier?

Not sure, I haven't measured the gap between wheel and struts. But it looks like there isn't much room left. +25 *might* hit the struts depending on what you're running.

Perhaps run a 9.5 +22? You can still slap 265/35/18 on them and it'll fit. Note that tyre design plays a part in fitment as well. The old Potenza tyres that came with the wheels had a more stretched design compared to the Falken FK452 on there at the moment. The Bridgestones fitted without rolling the guards, but the Falkens rubbed (bought a guard roller + heat gun and rolled the guards).

vspec should be 18x10 (I think, cant recall width of bbs)

I'm pretty sure R32 V-Spec BBS are 17x8 +30

Would 18x10 +25 or +30 make things a little easier?

i am at this point where i also want to know if running +25 or +30 will avoid having to roll guards?

anyone out there running this offset?

I ended up getting 10.5 +25, trial fit of the wheels without tyres was fine. I now have 265/35s fitted but haven't had time to try them yet. I'm concerned about how the curve of the front upright comes in (toward where the tyre will be) where it mounts onto the upper arm. Might get tight there. I have already rolled my rear guards - i needed that for 255s on +20s on tyres with a generous treadwidth (IIRC the Falken RT-615 scrubbed but whatever was on there before didnt).

Well with my 19x9.5+25 i have sfa between the front upper arm and tyre. Im running stretched 245s pirelli p zeros.

Adam, your wheels have 13mm less clearance than my above setup but running 18s should help with smaller rolling diameter...hmmm

did u end up fitting your tyres yet?

I've trial fitted a front +25 wheel with a 265 and there's ~9mm clearance to the curved upright. so that looks fine. I haven't tried a rear or driven it yet - need to fix an oil leak first...

My thinking was that since 255s on a +30 rim worked, 265s on a +25 would have the same clearance to the upright. Of course i then found that the Dunlop 265s were about 20mm wider at the tread than the Toyo 255s...

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
