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.

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
