yep as in it will mess about with it?

is it the offset or the rolling diameter that does it? i did a comparison front to back which looks like this (on the calculators anyway)

Just got some new wheels for my car. TE37SL

18x8.5 +30 235 tyres

18x9.5 +40 265 tyres

Fronts are scrubbing if i corner hard and it's bumpy. Don't really wanna remove my guard liners. Might try roll guards.

18x8.5 +30 is a pretty conservative offset (conservative compared to what some people put on anyway). Before you roll guards try having a look at where it rubs on the liner and use a heat gun to heat and mould the area to clear. I have 18x9 +27 and unrolled guards and it doesn't really scrub once doing the above.

Rolling diameter. If you feel confident enough that the diameters will be close enough to being the same then go for it. I learnt from my experience (running a slightly larger tyre out back, out of desperation) to run identical wheel and tyre sizes all round (offset doesn't really matter).

ill see how it goes, i will be running 267x35*18 on all four. hopefully the extra inch width of the rim dosnt putt the tire too much and change the rolling diameter,

i cant see that it would tbh, but i dont know how sensitive they can be.

How much of a struggle would it be to fit the following?

R33 GTST S1

Front - 18x9.5 + 43
Rear - 18x10.5 + 45

I feel they will be that bit too big. My other option is:

 

Front - 18x9.5  + 38 
Rear  - 18x9 + 35


I think the 9.5 front would be too big but worth asking?

 

Thanks!

Sounds like the first combo will hit the struts, those sound like Supra sizes.

Second combo, why wider at the front?
Nismo sizes are (usually) 8.5 +35 front and 9.5 +38 rear.

They are indeed from a supra the first set.

For the second set I got the offset round the wrong way.

Its

18x9+35 front 

18x9.5+38 as you said.

Would the 9 be too much of a struggle? Better to stick to just an 8.5 front and 9.5 rear?

18x10.5 +15 with a 285/30 tyre with some negative camber (weekend/track car).. Won't have any issues with the low profile tyre rubbing on anything i'd guess?

Assuming BNR32, roll the rear guards, roll the front guards. Will most likely rub the plastic inner liner on the front (depending on wheel alignment and height).

I have 275/35 RS-3 on 10" +20 (want to go 285 next time). The front tyres will try to make room :P

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
