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

Sydney roads are f*cked. For one of the "best cities in the world" they should really improve the road system. I didn't realise how f**ked it was until I got coil-overs and set the dampening to the softest setting and still bounced all over...

i wouldnt list Sydney that highly.......

as for the dampening thing. i thought the same thing.....soft settings = soft ride.

seems i was wrong, on soft the bounces seem to continue on. ive got mine wound about half way to hard on the front. and a few notches less on the rear and it became alot more drivable on my crappy ass main road.

XXR 527's for a r34 gtt

18x9.75 +20 or 18x8.75 +20?

Which would be the better flush fitment (aggressive but not a ton of camber)?

Guards will be rolled and lipped btw

18x9.75+20 will poke fronts, inset rears. Won't need camber, will only scrub on full lock.

So would it be better to run 18x8.75 + 20 up front then? Or would that be too flush/not very good stance?

I am about to buy 18x9.5+22 fronts. The way I see it, I don't full lock often. I am looking for form>function. But yeah, if you go the 8.75, you will be 12mm LESS poke. Depends if you want it to look good, or be functional. But I would go wider on the rears or think about bolt on spacers if you want some flush. I am going 18x10.5+30 rears, I don't think that is poke enough, but I haven't bolted them on to see, I am going off a mates car that has 18x9.5+20 all round and his rears are inset.

Does anyone know how

9.5 +22 (front)

10.5 +30 (rear)

Will sit on a gtt?

Too aggresive or nahh?

If you took any sort of time to actually read this thread, you will realize that I am doing that exact fitment. I wish people would actually read the thread before posting. I went through 95 pages of this thread before I asked any questions. Took me a few hours, but at least I know what I am talking about now. Anyone can tell you it will fit, but you want to get the fitment that YOU want, not what other people say will look good.

Either way. With that fitment, you will NEED the guards rolled, front and back. With no camber, you will poke fronts, and hopefully poke rears. Only by about 5mm, but poke none the less. Run stretched tyres, and lower the car onto them, and you will get some nice stance. I have a black gtt, going varrstoen 2.2.1 (te37 copy) rims. 225/30/18 fronts, 245/35/18 rears. You will get scrubbing on full lock on the plastic lining inside the front arches. If you don't have coil overs, get them.

That is 18x9.5+20 all round. With that fitment we are wanting, fronts will be inset 2mm, rears will poke 3mm more.

I have ordered my rims already and I plan to have them on in 2 weeks on my R&R week (I am up on site for 2 weeks). Pics will be up immediately. If you want to wait until then to see the fitment, and judge for yourself.

i have the same but in +22 front and +15 on the rear, and with camber they just fit.

So as long as your guards give you an extra 10mm on the front and 3mm on the rear than stock, they will fit no problems.

Anyone have this problem? I've got a R33 GTS-t with R33 GT-R wheels on it. 17x9 +30 all round.

Seems like on 'near' full lock the wheel smashes into the suspension arm.

Luckily at the same time, I spotted the bracket holding the brake about to fall off, quickly bolted that back up!

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
