yea they look really nice in person. ive tried 18x12 rimms (didnt fit) and 18x11 with a crazy offset of -19 these were about an each too wide. so i was thinkg spacers on these. hopefully there wide enough as i really like the style

are the guards Dmax items? they look freakin sick so does the wheels ;D hehehe

not quite sure what guards they are but definitly not dmax. mine measure 75mm all around or there abouts. ive kinda got my head set on them just hope they fit ok

Yeah those widths are fat but they won't fill the guards with that offset. No worries though, just run spacers and you'll be sweet. More width is even more $$ on tyres. Some 20mm spacers might do the trick?

EDIT: I just re-read your post above about the 18x11 wheels that were an inch too wide with an offset of -19 (!!!). In that case you'll need bigger spacers than 20mm! Those guards obviously flare more than they look to me in the pics.

Umm offset? Don't think +35 is gonna look flush. You'll need at least -6 for that to fill anything. And don't buy rims with crap offset with the intention of putting spacers on.

yea thats wat im afraid of.yea the use of spacers is a last resort but just want to make sure to see what they look like.

you need +10 or similar offset with ur guards...

hmm the offset the guy gave me said it was a guess as the 19's arent in the country yet. the offset maybe lower.i know they wont sit flush but will just have to wait and see how they look.

and yea ill post pics when i eventually get them on :D

Why the hell did you bother getting wide guards and then intend on getting wheels that won't fill them at all? It will look like absolute crap. To get those wheels with a +35 offset looking decent, you'd need 100mm spacers and thats just not going to happen.

Those 18x11 -19 wheels will fit with EASE if you stretch some 255 tyres over them. Don't be weak, get them!

just measured the wheels and width today. standard wheels measure 6.5 yea. the width of the guards measure 85mm so thats about 3.5 inches making a total of 10inches wide to fill the guards

or am i missing something here??

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
