That's hot man but your front bar looks warped?

What sizes and offsets are those wheels?

Yeah it is a bit, looks worse because the photo is shot pretty low. Brought two of them for $250 and sold one for $400 so I'm not to fussed.

The wheels are:

Rear - 18x9.5 +18 215/40

Front - 18x9 +13 215/40

took a couple shots this arvo and tonight, heres a few i mucked around with. Hard trying to get them looking nice without going too far :S, not sure if i did or not.

I included a few of the crappy night shots so i can get some advice :ph34r:

How did you get your black paint so shiny in the first pic?

I can't believe you managed to stretch 215's onto a 9.5" rim. No tyre shop I know would do that and I know people that work at one!!

I was running 215/40/R17 on the front of my XD9s which were 17 x 9.5 + 17 and 225/40/R18 on the rear 18 x 10 + 18 :banana:

Some serious stretch

Here's a couple shots of how the wheels sit and tyre stretch, still need to sort front and rear camber. Was running 225/40 before these but they were rubbing quite a bit, might just be the design of the tyre there might be a 225/40 out there that fits a little better.

what size and offset on those rims? look tuff!

Front - 18x9 +13

Rear - 18x9.5 +18

You should be able to get away with that on the back

I had 18 x 10 + 18 on the back of my R32 with 235/40 tyres. The inner lip on the guard was rolled and we slightly pumped/flared the whole guard, not to much but just enough to tuck the wheel under

Fron't I had 17 x 9.5 + 17 with a 235/40 tyre and same deal, guard liner removed with the inner lip rolled and guard slighly pumped/flared

Man, you guys all freak me out with the size wheels you are jamming in under the GTSts. I want to run a 9.5" , maybe 10" rear but only because i want to run a 265 rear tyre :down:

Anyway, the car has 9" +20 offset which should be doable and when the guards have been pumped for that sized rim i should be able to get a 9.5" + 36 on the rear aand run 255 tyres.

Is anyone running wide rims with decent sized rubber?

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
