wheels,

mine runs 18x9.75+20 and it sits just in the guards. the 265/35s sit square. doe snot rub but I don't run heaps low and my guards are not lipped and I still have the liners in, check my thread for pics of the fitment.

the extra .25 width and the extra 5mm offset will simply push it a bit further out the guards. its on the limit though, u will need to lip the guards and maby more depending on how low your gonna run the car.

Thanks mate. The guards are currently rolled. So that's good news.

I read a few people gone with 18x10.5 +18 and it fits flush.

So I thought I'd be smart and drop half an inch to 10 and drop +3 off set to +15

Thought it would fit fine... Oh well... Hope they fit fine. I guess 295 is out the window. Maybe max 275.

295 is allot of meat, especially on the fronts. depending on height and camber it may fit, but it would be fat and tight if it did. probably worth pumping the guards for it.265 would be nice. 275 would be fit square to the wheels.

Yup hahah cos of the tyre choice. Only that few sizes. I guess will stick to 265 now. I'm running those now. Just want better rubber like A050 or z221.

I have a feeling it may fit. I want to try.

If you recall my car, it has 18x10+20 with 275/35 RS-3 tyres. Front camber is about -2.5° rear camber -1.5°.

Front still rubs on compression turns, but I have a bit of extra castor (around 5.5°) and some toe in. Height plays a noticeable part as well (my car now sits around the same height as yours in your sig), I think you'll be fine with some negative camber and 285/30 tyres (what I want to run next).

If you set the cambers to 0, the wheels will just poke outside the guards lol.

I have quite a massive camber at this point. Ikeya formula arms front and rear. I don't know the amount though. But my current wheels are like completely in the arches.

Height is the same as before. Hmmm want to try 295 A050. I mean I don't drive the car much anyways.

Mine definitely not 0 camber.

265/40/18 Rims are 18x9.5, cant remember offset, with spacers I think its +20.

front: massaged the back of the wheel well, folded the sheet metal join at the top and I had to make custom guard liners. Rolled the lips and pulled the guards out alot. There is about a 5mm gap between the tyre and the non pivoting (steel) part of the upright.

rear: had to roll the lips and pulled the guards out slightly. I even had to push in the bulge on the inside at the to the top of the rear wheel arch.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
