hey guys lookin at gettin a set of lenso d1rs for my r33 gtst

dont want to do anything over the top so no camber etc, will roll guards if needed and remove plastic liners

just want them sitting nice and flush with the guards...also car wont be lowerd too much as it has a kit so guards will sit about a cm or so above the wheel

heres some specs from the lenso website

WHEEL SIZE: 18x9.0®

ET: +15,+32,+40,+44

PCD: (5x100~114.3)

WHEEL SIZE: 18x9.5®

ET: +30,+40

PCD: (5x100~114.3)

WHEEL SIZE: 18x10

ET: +15,+22,+29,+36,+41

PCD: (5x100~114.3)

i hear the 18x9 +32 sit flush at front so ill probs be goin with that for the front,

question is from above what size will sit flush with the rear keeping in mind i dont want to run camber etc

how is that stupid? that is correct... 9mm more

imho go the 9.5+30 for the rears as it will look the same as your fronts.

9.5 + 30 is flush with no camber... i ran it for a couple of years

thx for the help guys

looks like id go

front 18x9+32

rear 18x9.5+30

with this flush fitmet ill need to get guards rolled n remove platic liners, i can remove platic liners myself, but who/where will do a good job of rolling the guards at a reasonable price?

how low do you wanna go?

fronts will only need the liner taken out if you slam it

180athid is te man fr al your guard rolling needs

cars got a kit on it, so wont be slamed for legal reasons, but wheel arch will sit above the tyre 10mm minimum may be more though.

180athid do i just pm him on sau...does he work at a shop or does he just have the equipment to do it afterhours?

hey man yeh leave your liners for now i doubt you'll need to roll them. Also id get ya wheels fitted up theres a good chance you wont need to roll em on those specs depending on ya height so save some cash for now can always do it later (roll the guards)

just so you know 10+36 will sit the same as 9.5 + 30 for outer position, if your wanting that fat look from behind id be heading down the 10" path. hope it helps :thumbsup:

Hey guys, really needing some help if someone out there is smart enough, I've tried researching and trying to learn but it all gets me confused =S

Anywho, long story short I'm currently building an R33 GTS-T RB25/30 with a custom wide body that i'm making myself lookin pretty sweet fiberglass btw, scissor doors etc, all metal fenders etc retained.

So the front body is 1 1/2" wider than original body, looking for wheel to sit out 1" past the original body.

and the rear body is 2" wider than original body, looking for wheel to sit 1 1/2" past the original body.

I have no problem at all rolling the front guards to fit, whatever it takes

I have no problem cutting and welding the rear arches to fit wide wheels past original arch (I'm a welder by trade)

Also after a decent dish! at the moment the car has 17" Sparco Racing rims can't remember width and offset.

wheels also have to get around the brakes without spacers / adapters

if you understand this and what I'm after, please help, I'm happy to take measurements, answer questions, etc.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated, just wanting to know if anyone has any idea what sizes and offsets i'd be looking for when searching for my wheels =)

easy man, you want to run camber ? guessing maybe not if its a widebody fibreglass scissor door autosalon style car by the sound of it?

if not just run a 9.5 +15 front or a 10+20 at a guess rear go an 10.5 or 11" with a 15 to 25 offset should do the trick.

but i have seen a widecustom 33 and the fibreglass returned inside too far to run wide wheels so hard to say without seeing what your working with.

actually just did a quick check for you.

if 9+30 is fairly flush on stock guards a 10" +10 will be 1.102 inch further out.

rears if you run an 11 +15 will sit 1.33 inch further out than a 9.5 + 30 which again is fairy flush on stock guards. None of this is taking into account stretch/camber/ride hieght but i doubt its overly relevant.

hey man yeh leave your liners for now i doubt you'll need to roll them. Also id get ya wheels fitted up theres a good chance you wont need to roll em on those specs depending on ya height so save some cash for now can always do it later (roll the guards)

just so you know 10+36 will sit the same as 9.5 + 30 for outer position, if your wanting that fat look from behind id be heading down the 10" path. hope it helps :thumbsup:

thanks mate, ill probs just stick to the 9.5+30 on the rear, long as its flush with the guards thats all i care about, cos i didnt really like how my rims on the na sat inside the guard

also with these specs front: 9+32 rear 9.5+30 what size tyres should i get?

Buckled a rim on the weekend...f*** you Wellington Road.

Long story short, I have D1R 18x9+32 all round...fronts looks reasonably flush but I always felt the rears could come out wider. Was going to put on spacers, but now that I need a new wheel, I'm seizing opportunity to buy two new wheels in a more suitable width/offset. Car is an R33 GTS-T with guards rolled but no flare. I'm not a fan of negative camber, but I want these new wheels as close to the rear guards without scraping.

What am I looking at offset boys? Wouldn't mind a 10" if I could pull it off (insert masturbation joke here) with the correct offset, but will this cut it fine with the suspension gear on the inside? Safest option seems to be 18x9.5+30 like Jason is getting, but will the extra 1/2 inch make much difference or will I be back where I was before?

Good idea on the offset calculator for inner clearance...

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Outer guard clearance is alot harder to measure though, particularly as it's an aesthetic thing too. Just wondering from experience what people have seen on the rears with rolled guards and no flare.

i have the 17x10 +15 on the rears, but i have slightly stretched rubber, and a bit of camber to make them fit. like you said, your not keen on camber so i think the only other offset they come (in NZ anyway) is +35, so i guess they are your only option in the 10" rim???

Got the XD9's on my car now, fronts are 18x9 +20 rears are 18x10 +18 (thanks to alr33x and joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo's recommendations!). Rear guards were pretty stuffed though from apparent (poorly done) old crash repairs on the right rear so the paint is all majorly cracked around the guard from being rolled pinch.gif next stop paint shop/panel beater it seems, probably need to flare the rears a bit anyway.... Anyway here they are in glorious shoddy camera phone form whistling.gif

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
