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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
