Rim Pictures

[dmonic1]

here are a few pics of the rims i just put on today. they came off my mates r32 that is defected at the moment. im thinking about buying them but i think im going to have to lower my car to fully appreciate them. they are 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear.

Gotta love the dish

You could go one tyre size wider..

Just double check that the rolling diameter of the tyres are the same front and rear. Sometimes different width tyres run slightly different heights, which can cause dramas with the attesa, according to a few on here.

But going by how the rear tyres is stretched on there id say they are the same width TYRE front and rear, even though different rim widths...?

Looks good tho! But yes lower the car!

dayz kit? purchase rims and sydneykid suspension

just avoid pot-holes

[dmonic1]

yeah its the dayz kit. i pm'd sk about some suspension but havent heard back yet. i have a RWD so i havent got an attessa system to worry about but yes the tyre widths are the same front and back

i reckon a gtr bake upgrade might be on the cards to fill the rims up a bit also and to stop terrible braking perfomance of my car. went on a bit of hills drive last night with a loaded car (5 people) but with the stocky wheels and wasnt terribly impressed. i definatly wasnt being given any ammount of reasurence from the suspension or the brakes. im a bit of a pussy driver now after my accident and any hint of body roll freakes me out.

wats the offset for fronts and rears?

im getting an 18sx9 for the front and x10 fortherears. Front offset is +25 and rears +40

I think you are going to have rear inside clearance issues with an offset that high.

My 18x20 rears have about a finger of clearance (13-17mm). I don't know if an extra 20mm on the inside will fit. You definately wont be able to run square rubber (where the tyre sticks out more than the wheel)

spacers as a last resort 10mm should do it. Then i will look VERY Ricey!!

slips ons are shit, bolt ons are better. slip ons will always throw wheel balance off (for me, that means a LOT at 140km/h+)

where in victoria can you go 140km/h+ ?

[rubba]

Hrm so its okay to run staggered widths front and back as long as rolling diameter is kept the same?

I've been looking for a set of equal width 18" rims for ages on various car forums and its so bloody rare to see any.

What size rims and tyres (inc offset) are you guys running? I need a rough idea on what will look decent.

Race tracks? I'm sure that's what Alex meant

dmonic1 what offset are those rims?

I am currently looking at a set of 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 +35 offset, just wondering if they would fit without having to lip/roll the guards.

[unique1]

Stasis has a 260rs which run different offsets anyway so u cant compare to rs4 stageas, 260rs will fit any wheels a gtr fit from what i have read, meaning they have shorter axles and more clearance to the gaurds for bigger rims

140km/h is not rarely seen. Yeah.. racetracks.

At your sizes and offsets, comparing to my rims (which are slightly weaker than Yoko) you are going to have 28mm less inner and 40mm more outer clearance on the front and 9mm less inner and 21mm more outer clearance. Stagea's have MASSIVE front guards man, you really need lower offsets on the fronts than the rears. Be careful of hitting the shock too (the curse of high offset wheels)

You can compare to other sizes using this calculator. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I havn't touched my front guards and my rears would be alright slightly higher, at this height they need a lip only (bend the inside lip up, not pump/roll/flare the guard)

Yokotas old car (18x9 -5 w/ 235/40 fronts, 18x10 +20 w/ 235/40 rears)

My car (18x9 +1 225/40 fronts, 18x10 +20 w/ 235/40 rears)
