yeah 18s will fit fine... just make sure the offset is right.

the one im selling has 18x10s on the rear with 235s stretched over them :D and they have a huge spacer on em.

but of course the guards are rolled and the wheels have neg camber so that helps i spose :) altho without the spacers they might fit anyway.

If you want to adjust you neg camber to accomodate some bigger wheels I have organised a group buy of Adjustable Rear Upper Links for $225 for a set. Im putting some on my car so I can eventually have white powder coated R33 GTR wheels in nice n tight :D ooo yeah baby...

+40 offset is fine dude, that's more like FF car offsets. remember people, the smaller the number is for the offset, the more the rim sticks out. so very few cars can have 0 offset without flares. only thing is +40mm offset wont clear bigger brake calipers, but at least you can have a 8 or 9 inch wheel under standard guards...try go for +35 or less for 8 inch wheels to give that flush look :D

Sorry to resurrect this thread,

but I'm once again buying new rims...

I won't say what, all I'll say is this...

Dual PCD : 4x114.3 & 5x114.3

Front : 225/40/18 18x8J, offset 23

Rear : 245/35/18 18x9J, offset 35

Obviously the PCD is correct, (duh)

the rears are fine I'm sure, but I do query the fronts, 8" wide and 23 offset? can anyone tell me how that would turn out?

...so I won't catch superAIDS if I put 8inch wide +23 offset? with stock front guards? they are slightly lipped though, by saying lipped i mean i have tucked the lip up on the inside of the guard...

...I'm excited about this, are you?

My Cefiro has 17x8 with 225 on the front and 265 on the rear. I think the offset is +41 [but I may be wrong... it's been a while since I got them and I'm not entirely sure]. I'm running R33 brakes all around and have loads of clearance without resorting to using spacers.

The fronts sit nicely in the guard and no clearance issues. The rears do stick out quick a lot... I have adjustable camber kit on the back and am running quite a lot of camber on there, and even so the wheels do stick out about half an inch at the top. I had to lift up the coilovers to nearly maximum height to give enough clearance and stop scuffing when the car bottoms out.

Will post a pic up soon as I get my car back from the autoelectrician...

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
