hey

I went to a rim shop today to get a quote on the Lenso D1R rims

from previous post few pages back I was going to go with

front 18x9+32

rear 18x9.5+30

however they no longer make the 9.5's

which means id have to go with a 10inch for the rear to get flush

I'm hoping they still make the 18x10+36 as outer position like Alex said will be the same from the outside

but being a 10inch rim will it fit with no other modifications, I currently have coilovers (only wound down about 2cm all round so cars not low low just a nice height atm

also for tyre choice I'm thinking of going with ku36 245/35/18 front and 265/35/18 rear (as they don't make the 255 in the ku36)

what do you guys rkn about the tyre size choice? and if anyone can give some advice on the 10Inch rear rim would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Jason -PS I am going to go back tomorrow to find out for sure they make it in the 10+36

or what kinda work will i be lookin at to get 9 +15 on the rear....keeping in mind i dont want to run camber

yeah 265 is fairly big, but if i were to go with the 18x10+36 id need that cos dont wanna stretch the tyre and ku36 dont come in 255 unfortunatly, alternativly i can get ku31 and run 255 which should be fine aswell on a 10" rim, just thought 245 be a bit to small...

if 9.5+30 is flush wouldnt that mean the 9+15 will stick out of guards 9mm?

yeh but with natural camber of been low or some camber arms you can pull it back in its not really that much like 9mm.

245 isnt that stretched on a 10 it fits quite well actually, a 235 is fair stretched or lower.

fair point, i got a bit of natural camber atm with my coilovers just been fitted but gettin adjustable camber arms to fix that, as a daily drive i dont want camber wear on the tyres...if it wasnt a daily i wouldnt care that much.

but true 9mm isnt allot but cos i aint gonna run camber to tuck it in rules out that size rim for the rear

lets just hope they make the 10+36 which is pretty much flush hopefully it wont hit anything behind the wheel for being too wide and just wrap it in 245s or 255s , because the wheel arc is goin to sit above the wheel so dont think rolling the guards or flareing should be an issue...or will it?

not to worry went back to the rim place cant get them sizes, looks like ill just go with the 9+32 all round which should only stick in 8mm which isnt that bad its pretty much almost flush

but thanks to everyone who helped me

go the 265's.

iv got 265's on my 18x9.5's and they are only just 'flush witht he rims'. So on a 10 inch rim they will me starting to go towards stretched, let along a 245 etc.

Im actually about to throw a 275 on as a replacement this weekend. Ill let you know how that goes on a 9.5..

thanks for the reply guys but the offset for a 10inch cant get to fit my car, so im getting

front 18x9+32

rear 18x9+32

i want to get kumho ku36 they come in 235, 245 and 265 they dont make the 255

what would my better option be 245 front and 265 rear?

go for some staggered fitment.

common staggered fitment is 8s n 9's or 8.5 n 9.5

iv got the latter with 235 n 275. Loves it and the handling is epic with a little lower, little stiffer (8kg-F, 6kg-R) little camber n adjustable damper. Put the power down real nice with 225kwatw...

Just about to buy set of new Lenso D1R rims for my 32GTR

I don't like stretched tyres on rims so looking for right size rims to sit flush with guards without any part of tyres or rims poking out so thought i'd ask you guys your opinions

I can get these 2 sizes which i think would be right for a 32GTR

18x9 +15

18x10 +22

Would the 10" rims fit both front and rear on these cars without poking out?

Now in saying this i don't like the look of stretched tyres either so i would need something around 265 or bigger right?

Don't mind running staggered fitment either as long as all fits under guards

Any help appreciated as want to get it right first time

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
