Hi All,

Trying to find out if anyone out there has a pair of 18 x 8.0 volk f-zero's floating around anywhere and would be willing to sell them. I dont need any rubber just the rim and im after a set to fit r32 gts-t (offset 114.3 i believe)

If anyone can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Laine

Anyone able to help?

Laine,

114.3 is the PCD of the wheel ( the space between the holes that fit onto the wheel hub. There are 5 such holes so it's a 5 x 114.3 PCD. Your offset will be more along the lines of a +25 to +40 or something like that. If you have the old ( broken) rims it will tell you if you look on the inside of the rim.

Maybe also try posting a photo in case some people don't know what these look like? I have a fair idea ( are they the sort of 5 spoked, star pattern? - if so, nice looking rim, usually see em more on Supras than on Skylines, hence you'll be right up against it trying to find someone who has these wheels in this size with the right offset in good condition who wants to sell them and all planets are in alignment ( etc etc)

You may want to think about getting another pair that look somewhere similar, without being these. I'd reckon that if someone knows you need this type of wheel, and given how rare they are, they'll be able to ask 'sky is the limit' ( i.e $1000 for the pair no tyres).

Assume that these are for the front? You have 18 x 9J on the back?

cheers,

J

Whoops yeh i c what you mean i sorta rushed those numbers i put up without thinking. Ill get the proper offset asap and ill put a couple of pics up too.

I agree i think im gonna be strugglng to find a set to replace them but i can only but try. I do have the 18x9J ones for the rear and the ones im after are for the front.

Cheers

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
