  1. yeh, stretch is ur friend, unfortunately on 19's with low profile, its not going to help heaps. if ur dead set on them, buy them, then take ur car to a panel beater and get them to make the car fit them. ull need a small flare all round.
  2. shit just got personal, no one calls me a typo and gets away with it, no one...
  3. it can be done if you really wanted to. and it will looking f**king tough.
  4. if i was spending $700ea on tyres id wanna know every single bloody detail about them
  5. u can also keep ur eye out for Blitz technospeed Z2's, theres not as many around, but if u cant find what u want with the VSKF's they are an option.
  6. yeh i think it was just a typo.
  7. could be wrong, but think this is it here: http://www.terra2imports.ca/import-japan116361654092911.htm if so, the kit is Final Konnexion.
  8. haha nah, they will keep on defecting people, they just wont be able to get them off defect.
  9. i thought it was the other way round?
  10. better not blow up the place as ive gotta go through there next tuesday haha
  11. tried the NSW section? searching is a magical thing: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/se...%2Bwheel+repair http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...hl=wheel+repair http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ri...hl=wheel+repair http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ma...hl=wheel+repair http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Wh...hl=wheel+repair http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ma...hl=wheel+repair
  12. exactly, most people there will be import lovers, and im sure would let people know if they get too close to one of the cars.
  13. i might, depending on whether my car is back together and off defect.
  14. yeh, R33 GTR ive had R33 GTS-t stockies on my R32 before and i felt like kicking it and throwing it in the gutter they looked so bad. using ur logic, that should be a pretty accurate reflection of the car they came off
  15. hey mate, sorry didnt see this before haha, +35 with a 18x9 is cutting it very close on the front upper control arm, ive run quite a few 17x9 +30's on the front and theres only been a few mm of clearance. 18's will come up even closer once again, if you look at the angle of the control arm and how it sits ull see what i mean. also tyre size will play a big roll in this, obviously a bigger tyre u have less clearance, if it comes down to just the tyre fouling and not the rim, then maybe try something around a 225/40. if you are dead set on the wheels and dont mind running spacers then id grab them and make up mock spacers to see what size u need, then go buy a pair, ull probably only need some slip on 5mm's or something which cost shit all. as far as the rear is concerned, once again ull be cutting it very close, but unlike the front, having a larger diametre wheel actually gives u more clearance funnily enough. if you look at the back ull see (depending on whether ur car has HICAS or not) u have a rear tie rod end for the HICAS which sits there, a 17" wheel around the 10" around the +35ish mark u will be coming bloody close if not already fouling on it. however an 18" sometimes will actually just clear this and u wont have any fouling issues there. ive heard of some people having this issue and some people not so id imagine it has something to do with the design of the barrel/rim as well as the diametre. i wouldnt be worrying about the rears as much as if indeed the wheels didnt clear over the HICAS end, then it would be a matter of a spacer of maybe only a few mm thickness. i cant remember, but i beleive the stock R34 rims are 17x7? yes u can go 235/45, as the rim has a fairly high offset im sure uve already realised that it sits in the guard a fair way, so there shouldnt be any fouling issues on the guard, and since going from a 225 to a 235 u should only expect the tyres to bulge out by 5mm each side (235-225=10mm, 10mm/2=5mm) so there shouldnt be any fouling issues on the inside either.
  16. they are wrong. ask them next time how a wheel could fit over R33 GTR brakes but not R32 GTS-t brakes
  17. hey mate, im pretty sure they do fit, if you want to keep the stock look with the wheels ur best bet is to grab some R32 GTR rims, this will allow you to run wider tyres but still keeping unsprung weight down which will help you with braking as well. they look a lot better as well as they dont so far in the guards.
