I was wondering if anyone here knows of any Australian suppliers of these wheels?? I need to buy a set but if I cant get them in australia I need someone to decipher the differences between all the models and their offset system. I want a set of 15 or 16 inch tall rims with 8.5 fronts and the biggest they make for the back whick I think is 9 or 9,5. I need to make sure both front and rear have maximum dish.

Can anybody help or point me in the direction of help.

Thanks it is much appreciated.

Daniel

yeah I want to buy new as I want to know what I am getting, plus I need to go through sizing so I ensure I am getting the maximum dish I can for the size wheels I am after.. Thanks for the input can anyone else help me out????

panasport dont go wide enough, and when I emailed watanabe their response is sorry our engrish is poor can you maybe translate to basic japanese. Thats getting beyond me a little so untill I am desperate I would rather try to find someone who has been down this path already that can maybe help me out???

after heaps of searching I have not found any australian supplier of these wheels. Looks like I will be doing my old trick of hiring a interpreture and hopefully buying direct from the company, this has worked in the past but it has also backfired with one company rejecting selling to a private person not a supplier!!!

    • 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.
