car wouldn't be lowered, or ever so slightly.

would adjustable sway bars, front and rear help at all?

so the lower the offest number, the further it sticks out? So the +38's would go up front and +25's the rear?

i'd be thinking 265 the rear tyres, at least 255.

someone previously mentioned removing the inner guards??

The rears: 18x9.5 +38 is fine

The fronts: 18x9.5 +25 no way. U will have better luck sticking to +38 but will probably still be rubbing on the inner guards.

Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

what bout +38 up front with 235's.

and +25 for the rears with 265's?

i read in a prev post about removing inner guards, would this be an option for the fronts running the +38's?

and is it dodgy to be running the exact same size rim for the whole car, for a RWD car?

+30 on the rears will stick out..+25 will stick out more!

Removing inner guards normally only required if you're lowered a fair bit. (dodgy)

lastly, your car came standard with same width wheels all round....its not dodgy :(

If you HAVE to get those wheels, then 18x9.5 +38 all round...235 fronts and 265 rears.

personally i'd try and use 8.5 at the front +30 max.

yes yes, are rims able to be "modified"?

If the centre is free from the rim (bolted together) THE SKIES the limit, except for maybe your pocket.

We have a guy in Sydney that will make anything, into anything, but bare in mind that a custom wheel from him will cost about $400.00 each, so at $200.00 per rim (inner or outer) it might be cheaper to buy a new set custom made ............................. maybe?????????

I recently had these BBS Lorinser wheels modified. Had the 5 stud Mercedes pattern welded up, re drilled 4 x 114.3 & steel inserts fitted, 2 x new inners made widening an inch in and 2 x new outers to match fronts and all up it was less than a grand. I now have track rims (3 piece) and only need to replace what may get damaged, on each wheel. Not replace the entire rim.

Cheers, D

Why don't you research what tire size your going to use and get a wheel they fit instead of arse about face.

On a 4 door Skyline why would you want 10" wide, V8 supercars are running 10's all round, why would you want them that big on a street car.

Seems like a huge waste to me!

Hi all. Just thought I'd post this up as I have these fitted to my R33 25t after a 6 month wait for tyres!

Skyline model = '97 25t

Wheel diameter =19"

Wheel width =8.5" front 9.5" rear

Wheel offset =+25

Tyre size =225/35R19 Front, 265/30 rear (Dunlop Spormaxx)

Modifications to fit =Rear guards lips rolled. I had 235/35 on front when I first got these and had too much guard rub up front. 225/35 has fixed the problem it seems!

For what you want -

Front

20 x 9.5 +20

Rear

20 x 10.5 +22

The front guards won't accomodate that size (rims would stick out about 17-18mm more than mine) , new guards, or pumped guards would accomodate.

Rears - small tyre stretched over may fit, but my tyres currently sit just behind rolled guard lip when suspension is compressed, to be honest I'm suprised they don't rub at the rear! I think the actual rim would just stick out past the guard. So with a slightly bigger rims being closer to the guard, I doubt strethched tyres would work unless your whale is ridin rather hi. Pumped rear guards should do the trick though, or grafted R guards.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
