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!!

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
