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!!

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
    • Just yesterday the car started to shake a bit when idle. So tomorrow ima test the some wires and packs with the multimeter and see what it is. Hopefully is a pack because thats the easiest thing to buy same day here where I live in the USA.
    • shot myself in the leg and now last night I have shaking when I idle lol
    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested.
