yeh front will be close to the UCA, bloody close, generally i say 235/45 with a +30 offset is the furthest in id go, 225/45 will protrude 5mm less in, and about 4mm lower, but u have 8mm more offset pulling the tyre in further. so it will definitely be close, and probably come down to the tyre model and individual car as to whether it actually scrubs or not, but nothing a spacer a few mm thick cant fix.

my bet is that it will clear, but no guarantees on that one.

do you know what the difference in diameter of a 235/45/17 tyre and a 235/40/18? I'm guessing only a few mm.

I had 17x9 +38 with 235/45/17's and they were fine on my 32.

Cheers for your help.

I'll find out in a couple of weeks when they arrive if I need to run a spacer or not, but I couldn't say no to the rims. Silver GT-C's on a grey 32.....mmmmmm tasty ;)

mm, yeh it comes down to each car and tyre design it seems, when i ran 235/45's with he +30 on mine, i could feel maybe a 3mm gap between the tyre and UCA.

Yeah i've had some bridgy 235's and they were way skinnier than a dunlop 235 haha. dunlop sat square and bridgy looked stretched!

yeh when i used to drift on 2nd handies id go through so many tyres, and it was crazy to see the difference in them every time id put a new one on, all different brands had different shapes and clearances mounted up.

Hey nisskid, going crazy trying to work out what to do with ordering new wheels, especially seeing as tho i cant trial fit...

Currently looking at a set that i can get in the following -

· 18 x 8 only comes in offset +35 and +45

· 18 x 9 comes in offset +20 and +36

· 18 x 10 comes in offset +15 and +35

would ideally like a mildly aggressive fit, but dont want to have to flare. dont mind a roll and removing the plastic guards tho.

looking at 18x9 +20 front and 18x10 +35 rears or just the 9"+20 all round on an R34 GTT lowered on nismo coilovers, no camber adjustment as yet

any advice?

thanks mate

thats a hard one, as 18x9 +20 would sit pretty nice and aggressive, but 18x10 +35 is a bit soft, and wont really suit the agressiveness of the front. u could go 18x9 +20 all round, but if u want to keep the staggered width, id be going the 18x10 +35 and correcting the camber to around -0.5, this will pull the top out, and give u more grip. from there id probably go extended wheel studs and some hubcentric slip on spacers to get the fitment perfect.

the 10" +15 can be made to fit without a flare, but ull need camber and stretch, and by the sounds of things its more aggressive than what ur after.

thanks heaps mate, pretty much what i was thinking.

its my daily after all so i'd prefer not to go too crazy, but i just remember not being entirely satisfied with my last wheels on my old 33 (cr kai 18x8.5 +32 / 18x9.5 +38). fit really well but could have looked a lot better, which is why im kinda shy of going the 18x9 +36 and 18x10 +35 in these wheels.

hey fellas how would these fit on an R33 gtst

18x9 +15 (front)

18x9.5 +15 (rear)

btw my rear guards have been rolled flat so shouldnt be too much issue there

also i was thinking tire wise

215/35/18's for front

235/35/18's for the rear

front might sit out slighty ive got 18x9 +30 on front with 25mm spacers and it sticks out about 20mm atm but putting wider front guards.. back should be fine

nisskid will be able to tell you better though!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that set up should be fine although im not sure about those tyre sizes wouldnt that be not enough sidewall to stretch? well i guess it would jsut be harder to stretch

just a quickie

how bad would it be too occasionally run on the track

225/45R17 front

265/35R18 rear

cause i got spare pair of 18s with 265/35 and dont want to waste it

and i thought 225/45R17 would be good comprimise for grip/drift front tyre, i would go a 215 but i think the difference to 265 is too much

cheers

will be quite aggressive, id go a 225/40 on the rear. depends how much camber u have, as it will be tight, but depending on the camber u will get away with it.

running -2 degs on the rear and -0.5 on the front, so the fronts would be ok with that width and aggressive offset?

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
