yeah tires will be fine

spacers are illigal in some states

i wouldnt worry about the 8mm on the rear, just run a bolt on up front

or get the gktech spacers that come with bolt and slip ons to get the perfect offset

Thanks guys for the help, I guess I will look into running spacers on the front rims.(only coz I can't afford 1k for new rims right now)..with the 17x9+38 on the rears I prob have like mayb 5-10mm space between strut and inside tyre wall, so not sure if its worth the extra $200 to shift the rim 8mm outwards lol I guess I will try to find out if spacers are illegal in WA before i do anything , thanks again :)

Ok, so i spoke to my local Ttf store and they suggested that 235/45/17 tyres would be good on a 17x8 rim as on the 9" rim they are stretched and that's bad for traction/handeling in awd? Does offset change if I go down to a 8inch rim? Cheers

Ok last night had the best idear and put some 20X11 + 13 on the rear of my m35 axis but even with the 6 deg of camber I got its still going to need a little bit of guard work

Not 100% about using that 11" wide as don't think there is anyway I would get them on the other end

Didnt you say in the other post you have a wobble in rear end. Could tyre width have something to do with it?

Ok ATM I have 225 tires on both the 8 and the 9" wide rim both 45 profile

So if I keep my rolling diameters the same I should be sweet??

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
