As per title dudes

Just seen these rims (see pic below) and have fallen in love!!! :P

Just wondering what size people have been able to fit under the guards. Am 100% getting them rolled to allow some more room.....just want to find out what people have successfully fit under their Cefiro.

Stupid question thou...the larger the offset the further they will stick out?? Ya? :D

Just want a set of those white ones in either 17" or 18" with the fatest dish available...

Any info would be great!

there are already heaps of threads on this (in the ceffy section)................so u could search .......

my work s1's are 8" at front + 30 and 9" at rear + 35 and they are close to scrubbing but dont just ...only cause i dont lower it too much ....the guards might need rolling a little it i went super low. They fill out the guards well and make it look fat

and about the offset .....the smaller the number the further it will stick out ...well ........thats sorta right but not the best explanation

OK cheers, for the quick responses.

So would i be correct in saying i could fit, with rolling the guards -

Fronts - 17" x 8.5 +32

Rears - 17" x 9.5 +38

Ya?? :)

Sorry i have NFI when it comes to the offset......

Like you said spacers are the only way and obviously flaring because they stick out.

The reason that they hit is because of the high offset, meaning there is a lot of rim on the inside from the hub.

Research ur rims before purchase people !!

Well thanks to Konect's persistant advice on wheel research :sweat: I think i have my head around how it all works.

SO............

What I have decided should do the trick is

Front - 17 x 8.5 +25

Rear - 17 x 9.5 +28

Mate i would think you would firstly get the guards rolled and go a 10mm spacer.....that way you will at least clear the coilovers and then see how much they stick out. Then consider getting them flared.

doesnt help me tho.. iv already got these rims.. :s... arethe rear guards able to be flared much?? any help would be greatly appreciated...

cheers

2 things I have heard about flaring:

1: The door is very close to the arch minimising the amount of flaring.

2: 'Apparently' there is a structual bar that runs vertically from the middle of the guard.

3: Excessive flare will cause paint cracking.

4: At a certain point the guard cannot be pulled OUT and further and ends up lipping upwards instead.

Use the wheel offset calc to work out just how far they are going to stick out from your current wheels. Mine are 16 x 7 +27 and are a little less than flush with the guard (no flaring). Maybe use that as a base.

:sweat:

Seeing as how im bored at work I thought I would work it out for you:

Front: Based on my 7inch + 30

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 32mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 32mm

Rear: Based on my 7inch + 27

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 59mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 43mm

Mine currently almost rub on the front (with chucky tires) and NO WAY the back would have the required 59mm gap on the inside.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄

      Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.
