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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
