Hey guys,

Been looking at maybe getting some Touchdown TD136 rims from Cartel for my 33GTST.

How easily could I fit (F) 18x9.5+22 ® 18x10.5+25??

Also, does anyone have any of these rims on their car that they have a photo of??

Cheers all.

Ok, I've since found out only the 18x9.5 +22 clears the brake calliper in the Varrestons on the front.

Might be a bit too aggressive fit

Hey mate, are you saying the +30 option for varrstoens WONT clear the brakes on the front?

I was thinking of going 18x9.5 +22 rear and 18x9.5 +30 front as the fronts poke a bit more and im not really after that.

This is on a 33 gtst btw

I have pics on the last page of 18x9.5 +22 (-2 camber stock guards) 18x10.5 +30 (0 camber slight pump/flair)

Yeah, it doesn't clear the calliper according to the guy from Varrstoen

HELP OFFSET EXPERTS HERE:

Im trying atm to work out how far the wheels i am looking at buying , will stick out from my guards on my R34 GTR

Currently i have 18 x 10 +22 and looking at buying 18 x 9 +10 from my calculations the +10s will stick out .5mm less from the guards than the +22s .

Basically got the width of the rim 9 inches x 25 mm = 225 mm give or take and halved it for zero offset = 112.5 mm minus 10mm offset = 102.5 mm

10 inches x 25mm= 250mm = 125mm 22mm offset= 103 mm

Can anyone confirm this ?

Thanks

Plenty of examples +22 fronts getting around. It's too much poke if you like driving your car anywhere.

As for the rears not sure. But last seems quite aggressive.

Cheers guys. It probably is a bit aggressive for a daily, so I think I may have to reassess my options.

Would I be correct in saying (F) 18 x 9 +30 ® 18 x 10 +35 would fit ok?

That will sit inside the guards, and I hope like hell it'll clear your suspension on the rears.

Sitting a fair more inset then stock, why not just go 18 x 9 + 30 all round, and get spacers if need be?

yeah man, 18 x 9 +30 all round works nicely. I understand you wanna go bigger on the back, but if you keep em the same your can rotate your rubber. even just go a 255 on the rear and 235 on the front.

You wanted 19s, couldn't get them, so decided on 20s instead. This says a lot about your personality...

Look think what you want about me I don't really care.

The reason I got 20's is cause I wanted that style of rim and I was told I couldn't get them in 19's.

so I hit 20's at the same price as 19's so I'm not complaining.

Advan RG2's 18x9 +29 all round.

235/40 Sumitomo's (minimal stretch)

Suspension lowered to minimum legal height ( pretty high )

Front guards untouched, rears slightly rolled but wouldn't need to be.

Rims sit flush with guards, perfect fitment.post-116191-0-24551100-1379064184_thumb.jpg

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
