I recently got some 19 x 8.5 front 19 x 9.5 rear starcorp impul wheels

I asked for the deepest dish on front and rear. The rear is nice and deep just the way i like it but the front has practically no dish (looks wrong). After seeing alot of r33's on here with them i noticed there fronts were deeper then mine. I have contacted the supplier and they say i would need 8mm spacers on the front to fit the deeper ones i am after. If i had 8mm spacer on front and nothing on the back would that screw up the handling and what not.

Those with impuls how is yours setup up? mention size too please

Wont screw up the handling and I doubt you'll notice an increase of front track of 16mm but you will need longer wheel studs if you are going to be running an 8mm spacer. Your stock studs are around 27mm long, and with an 8mm spacer and the 10mm or so that your rim uses to connect to the hub, there isn't going to be enough thread left to safely secure your wheels.

Track is relative to the centre of the tyre, not the outside. The only reason for needing an 8 mm spacer is to clear the 8 mm that the offest is more inwards, hence the centre of the wheel would be in the same place as it was with the old wheels and no spacer.

With an 8 mm spacer you will need longer wheel studs.

Cheers

    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
    • I steam cleaned my near new set of volk gtc wheels 14 years ago and farrkkked them lol. The clear coat cracked like spider webbing in several areas. Lesson learnt don't do that. 😭
    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
