Hi guys as topic says I purchased my rays te37 time attacks earlier today and has rays/volks printing on the casting but the owner says it doesn't have stickers or I think he maybe can't find them on inaidw of the barrels, he advertised them as 18x11+18 now mind you guys these are Goinf on an r32 Gtr with rolled guards, I personally and few other guys think these aren't 11" as they have 265 tyres all around and aren't even that stretched, some people said for a 265 to be wrapped around an 11" wheel will need to be really stretched as 295s are recommended for them, here is a pic

No they won't fit. Tyre walls meant to be vertical. What is the point of buying good wheels that won't fit your car and then putting stupidly small tyres on them? If you want to run 265s a set of 9in wheels will do it.If you want to run 11in wheels get some 295s as you say and get a panelbeater to make you some massive guards.

LOL.

265 on an 11" is already eh and cheap..... but when you look closely, they stretched nankangs T_T.

If you didn't know, Nankangs are very very average tyres.

You will have a lot of trouble fitting them to your car.
18x10.5 +22 with 265/35/18 is probably the better fit.

Yeah they look like 11" wide with those 265 tyres stretched that far. Those sidewalls are almost at 45°. OP doesn't really care about grip nor performance it seems.

Get adjustable upper arms front and rear, run about -3° to -4° camber all round then slam it. Don't forget to sticker bomb one front guard.

So this is your reason for not going ahead with buying my Volk GTC's.

I mistakenly thought you were looking for a set of rims that fit a 32 GTR, not that you were looking for a set of rims that wouldn't !

Here I was trying to convince you that my rims were built for GTR's, fit and sit flush with no scrub.

Doh! - Now I realise I must have seemed stoopid to you.

You should have started off telling me you were after heooge camber & stretch/stance, didn't care about legal, performance or safety.

Then I could have just ignored instead of wasting time. Sorry mate I'm not a fan of that particular style/look and lack of driveability.

Damn these kids move on quickly these days. Back in my day, it was all about neon lights and candy apple paint.

My days too..

You'll be surprised actually. Neon lights are coming back...

Well.. LED lights.. and not so much colour... more a "glow" effect.

Anyways, back on topic, have sent you a pm OP.

Some like to cruise in their lowrider and some want to race at the track.

We all have different taste.

I probly dont like your fav colour, but who cares?

So "what fits" is up to you.

Do what pleases YOU.

You're right up to a point - neons, stickers, etc are a matter of choice but excessively stretched tyres have the potential to make the driver a danger to others.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
