I'm considering buying these wheels for my series 1 1997 stagea - I'm pretty confident that they'll fit after looking at the posts on here - but just want some of you guys to give me an opinion - please do

I think the 225/40x18 toyos will give me a fairly close to original rolling radius too

I think?

:D

18" REDLINE 5 X 114 ALLOY WHEELS MATT BLACK + TOYO T1S

A SET OF 4 - 7.5 X 18 REDLINE (INOVITE) NEW ALLOY WHEELS

PCD OF 5 X 114 WITH AN OFF SET OF 38MM

215/35X18 OR 225/40X18 TOYO T1S TYRES

cheers :)

A better fitment may be the 235/40R18 - which a number of us are running.

Also, why choose an obsolete tyre. The new tyre in the Toyo range is the Proxes T1R.

Check out www.toyo.com.au.

nice mag - get 235/40/18 or 45 for sure.

ummm, Id suggest the Hankook K104 Ventus, very nice tyre around $200ea

Don't Stagea's take 5X114.3 same as Skylines? not sure how much effect the .3 will have???

Hum@nzee is in the UK too guys so he won't be poping down to Tempe...

thanks guys - basically if they fit without causing any problems I'll go for them and the toyos because they're a package deal that looks like good value - full set with locking nuts and new nuts mounted and balanced for less than £700 - seems good - just wanted to be confident that they wouldn't rub and clear the standard brakes.

sounds like they will so might go for it - keep suggestions coming if you have wisdom to pass on - much appreciated :starwars:

qikstagea - car is dark blue at the moment - but I'm gonna go for either a gun metal or a brighter mica type blue - either should go well with the wheels anyway (says the art teacher ;) )

you've had a look at cyrus' thread about his new rims? plethora of info and random input there, few pics too.

dark looks good on the light blue mica (bayside?), as seen on 34 gtrs etc, very stealthy on your darker cars.

What about the offset? I'd think that +38mm will stick out quite far. I have +30mm front and rear, and this is what Nismo recommend for the Stagea (Nismo's Stagea parts list)

I have Nismo LM GT2's in Nismo's dimensions for the Stagea and they fit well.

we'll soon see if they fit - ordered them :ban: - the guy seemed very reasonable and they are fairly local to me - said he was confident that they would fit and that provided I hadn't buggered them up in anyway he'd have them back and sort me something else. fingers crossed - should have some tasty pictures with 'em on my wagon next week - if you don't here from me for a week or two you'll know it went tits up! :rofl:

      The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right
