Reviving an oldie!

Dear wheel gods,

I'm eyeing off some enkei 17x8 +38 for my S1 dayz manual converted... 

Will they fit??

Cheers

Here is my S1 with some no -name rims I was using for the track . They were 17 x 8.5 offset +17 so fit the body ok but whether they clear the brakes depends on the profile. I had previously had some Enkeis on the car so chances are good. Are you close enough to test fit?

Sorry - it was a few years ago now...I think I had 10mm spacers on the back and possibly 20mm on the front....

Hi I've got a c34 rs rwd just wondering if any one is run rota d2-ex 18×9.5 15 offset before I spend 2 grand on rim's that dont fit

I would guess not. To be sure find such a wheel and trial fit it OR look at the wheels on your car check the width and offset and make the calculations to see where they would end up.

So, I searched "backspacing"and this came up, but somehow couldn't find it in the text... anyone know what the backspacing is (i.e. distance from wheel mounting face to coilovers) on a 2000 WGNC34 260RS (MT)? 

I have an R34 face so I can't (immediately) tell if it's a S1 or an S2, but I assume it's a S2.  

My car is about to come with 9.5J +22 with 3mm spacers (i.e. 9.5J +19), and I assume the spacers are there for backspacing rather than poke, since I only just learned that the rears don't have much space! 

I was told/read that 9J +15 should fit, but close. 

I originally wanted to run Z34 19*10.5J +23, and thought I'd need at least a 20mm spacer in the rear for that, plus some gnarly camber to fit them within the guards -- especially if I run the 255/30-19 that I intended to.  But now I'm worried it might be a 25mm spacer, which would mean, basically, Overfenders... which aren't tenable. 

Does someone have the actual distance so I can calculate on paper before taking delivery of the car?  

Much appreciated!!

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
