Hello,

Just looking for some wheels to buy.

Want to have some nice white wheels - perhaps rays te37 or enkei wrc tarmac forged.

Just wondering what people think of width and diameter.

I was thinking something like deep dish 18" by 8 or 19" by 8 wearing around 245s or 235s with low pro tyres probably about 30 or 40 thou.

I'd have another set with less crazy "show" value for drift etc.

With a bit of camber etc would you guys expect me to get rub on a lowered r32 (sitting on coilovers for example)?

Also I read an article about handling on these forums I think and I remember that it said because the skyline is 50/50 weight destribution the tyres back and front should be the same.

Do you guys think these tyre/wheel choices are reasonable - or will I be unable to do some things with them?

This will offcourse be street/light track dutues.

Also - what size would the wheels be on these two cars.. 18" or 19"?

Red car = 19" 9" width with 245s 30thou

Wht car = 18 or 17" 8.5 with 245s 40 tho

Does that sound about right?

Last question - How do you measure dish? :(

Cheers guys appreciate it. Also should note someone posted these pics before so I they ain't to my credit :)

ta :rofl:

If your looking for an inexpensive set of 18 inch deep dish wheels, check out the Manaray Sport Vertec VR5 Quest.

Ive got these on my 32 and they look awesome. 8.5 inch rims on the rear have 3.5 inches of dish! (Measuring it is simple, get a ruler out and place it on the dish section of the rim).

My local wheel bloke quoted me $1550 for 4 rims without rubber. Relatively cheap compared to Volks :rofl:

You may also find the same rim rebadged as a DTM.

Mine actually scrub when i go hard into some corners, which im going to fix when I can afford a new set of Teins. My current Apexi springs are way too low at the front in particular which is causing it. Im sure a reasonably lowered car could get away without tyre rubbing.

Sweet will checkem out.

Thanks for the info - with the dish measuring where do you measure from?

dish section to... the edge of the guard? from the axle (where the brakes are)?

They do look great - Do you know how much they weigh?

Also what tyres do you wear on them? 8.5 so about 235s?

My friend has 225s on his. Are ok but I think with 235 or 245 it would handle better but I'm worried 245 = too big for drift without a really done up engine.

Any ideas about that?

Also final question - got a pic of your car with those rims? :(

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
