As promised, here are some pics... I was too lazy to back the car out of the garage so i can't give you a complete side shot of the vehicle (but its not req'd anyway)

It was a bit hard to get the right perspective, but hopefully when you look throught them all you'll see how much clearance there is on the outsides. Dont forget that as the strut compresses you get slight increases in camber which in turn help to tuck the wheels under the guards... but you'd need to be getting good body roll first.

First 3 are LR, then next 2 are RR

You can see the differences in stretch between the LR and RR tyres (pics 2 and 4)... but both are 235's!

Then a couple of LF, no clearance issues on outside...

I've got 245x40x18 on my car, but my wheels are 18x8+30 Skyline V35 wheels. The fronts are fine, but I had to get the guards rolled at the rear as there was a little bit of scrubbing.

should be (fingers crossed) getttin a set of 18x8's on wednesday next week, offset of +20 with some falken 235/40/r18's on them, all up gonna cost me roughly 2k, will post some pics up as soon as i get em on :D:D:D:D

they will sit VERY nice, pretty much the same as r34 gtr wheels (give or take a couple of mm's :P)

thanks mike, i cant wait...... the oldies arent too happy im gettin them tho, kinda owe them somewhere in the same vicinity of money......... but i'm paying these wheels off tho. aswell as my oldies..... :P i mean come on! i cant keep driving round with 16's!!!

Heres a couple of pics of my stag with its new rims fitted. The rims are 19 x 8.5 +20 offset Axis Hiro's.

They sit pretty good I think, almost flush with the body and I have no rubbing at all. It is amazing how the Stag swallows wheels as even though they are 19 inches in size they don't look big at all on the Stag.

Just an fyi, came across this link in another forum when doing google searches.

Has quiet a few pdf's on steering geometry for our vehicles.

Not sure if it's all correct/original specs, but cant see why not.

There is not a pdf for the Stagea (WGNC34) and the Skyline ones vary quite a bit and even the four wheel drive Skyline is not quite right. I have been using SK's figures (knowledgeable on many things, suspension is his actual specialty) and they have been spot on for handling and even tyre wear. They are to be found here (expand the chart to make it legible):

i finally got my wheels, front is 18x8+35 rear is 18x8+6 but im going to get some 15mm spacers for the front. il try to get pics up when i get them fitted.

ok assuming all 4 wheels are the same disk and will all clear your front wheels i would run the 8+6 on the front. stageas can take ~20mm lower offset up front compared to the rear which means even if you run a 15mm spacer on the front with the 8+35 (essentially making it 8+20) it'll look stupid as the fronts will be sunken and the rears poking/flush.

in short, run the 18x8+6 up front and the 18x8+35 in the rear with a 15mm spacer there and fitment will be pretty much spot on, essentially 18x8+6 front and 18x8+20 rear :banana:

trust me :banana:

That looks awesome :banana: Love the side-on shot. Yeah I agree stags swallow wheels alright. 19s look right at home without even looking overly large. 20's start to draw attention I think.

Yes plenty of reports, 'cause when width is different, rolling circumference is different... there's plenty about it in the stagea forums. Posts from sk, etc. etc. I've read where it's been done successfully (260RS for example). Easiest not to, but up to you.

"it's not a problem running different widths so long as the overall rolling diameter is the same front to back"

The problem is, it never is the same. The middle figure is not the height of the tyre in mm but the height expressed as a percentage of the width. People try to overcome this by for example running 9in rims on the back with 265/35/18 and 8in on the front with 235/40/18 (note different aspect ratio) and can get fairly close but the wear rates could be different and the ride and handling could suffer from having two different tyres front and rear.

having said that i guess some people are running different width wheels with an Atessa system with no noticeable problems but I prefer to keep the same size front and rear.

you have to remember that the system has also been designed to allow for differences in tyre wear, you could run full tread fronts and rears on the markers - that's quite a big difference in rolling diameter right there

i dont think i have quite made a post in here yet so i will

18x9 +0 offset with spacer to clear GTR brakes

18x10 +20 no spacer

Problems

if you do not have rear toe arms and camber arms, going low is a problem in the rear for sure.

You need to put a decent roll on the rear, so you can get as near to 0 camber static as possible to keep from hitting the coilovers. as wwell as a stiff springrate and sway bars will help this fact as well.

Front....well im still working on that.

but they kinda fit. I spraypainted the inner well so i can find out where it is rubbing, right before full lock it rubs somewhere, but at full lock it doesnt, so i have to figure that out.

other than that

at my current height, no big problems, or at least nothign that a little thinking and money wont fix.

tires are 235/40 front and 245/40 rear

soon to be a 225/40 front and 235/40 rear once i decide to go get them

406702791_5d46ba756f.jpg

Thats some seriously inspirational wheel fitment there.

I needs dish in my life :down:

My old 33gtr rims

9x17 ET30 wearing 245/45/17 tyre, no spacers to clear the gtr brembos, no clearance issues with coilovers but spacers (5-10mm max) will be needed to clear standard suspension setup

NewWheels007.jpg

NewWheels008.jpg

My new NT03's

9x17 ET15 wearing 235/40/17 tyres, no spacers needed to clear the gtr brembos, no clearance issues with coilovers and you might get away with them on standard suspension setup

This is my aim which will require the arches being rolled

Your tyres are not wide enough. I guess you are going to get wider ones when you "adjust" your wheel arches (quote from Yokotas13 "baseball bat is your friend") but some people seem happy to run with "stretched" tyres which will not handle as well as properly fitted tyres. It appals me but for some it seems a kind of fashion statement!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
