hi guys im new to sau so not sure if there is already a thread that can answer my question.

cut it short, i have got these italian MAK wheels(18x9, 5/114.3 PCD, offset 55) that i want to put them on my GTT. i have fond that the optimum 18inch wheels and tyres combination for a GTT is

Front: 18x 8.5 (35 offset) 235/40R18

Rear: 18x 9.5 (38) 255/35R18

Now the question is what size spacers should be used on these wheels so that their offset(original 55) will become equivalent of a 35 and 38? the reason i ask is because i have been told that 18x9 wheels with offset of 55 is too wide for the GTT and will probably damage(touching) the suspension.

any comments would be helpful.

thanks in advance. :(

u might also need longer studs?

so the nuts have some meat to bite and grip onto, because ur taking about 20mm off the length essentually.

would be easier to sell off the wheels and get new ones. Where did you get the wheels from? ...

take them back?

etc, so many things u cld do

*sigh*

Your thinking of the wrong spacers ! You cant use them the studs are not that long so you can put spacers and then the wheels on .

You can buy bolt on spacers and they have their own studs .

i think i might take your advise just sell them and get some monoblock lightweight 17*8 rims with the exact offset.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
