Fellas,

Just purchased some rims for my r33 GTS-T, the rear is 18 x 9 +32

Just got a couple of questions:

1) I understand that with this size and offset, I shouldn't have any problems with my car when it's lowered as long as a roll the guard, is that correct?

2) Can someone PLEASE attach some photos of a 265/35/18 tyre on a 18 x 9 rim? I can't find any pics anywhere.

The reason I am asking is because I wanted to see how much the tyre would bulge out from the rim. Different angles would be good too!

Cheerio!

i'll grab you some pics of mine if you remember i posted pic in your rear pod thread as well.

although the angle doesnt show how bulged the tyres are.

i be back in couple of hours of to post pics for you if noone else has already

i have 18x9 +38 in the rear running the 265/35/R18 not sure if it matters but it's got near new falken fk452 on them

Ive got these size tyres and it doesnt buldge out at all. I think the buldge however is related to offset more so than width

And why would offset effect tyre buldge..... i.e. why would +22 offset have more/less buldge than say +40??

Hard to explain with diagrams but if u google the definition of wheel offset (distance between centre of rim and hub mounting face or whatever u call it) you will understand quickly enough.

The more negative the offset the more the wheel will sit out since the mounting is behind the centre and there is more rim width on the outside.

If u really want, tomorrow i will check my offset and take pics so u can see,

Hope this helped.

Cheers

wait... wat?

Offset is how far in or out from the centre line of your rim that the hub mount is. This has no correlation whatsoever to how a tyre will sit on your rim or how much a tyre's sidewall will flex.

I do :banana:

Yeah, offset will only affect the rim's position.

Nothing to do with the tyre.

The tyre, will give the bulge/stretched look.

But, 265's will not bulge, they fit perfectly, ideal size.

Stretched look go for 245? - never done it.

245? sif. man up and get a 225 on it... I'm going to try and get 225/40/18 on my 9.5's in a few weeks :banana: That said, unless you're going stupid low and need to tuck your perfectly flush offset wheels under your rolled guards, then you shouldn't have any valid reason to stretch em.

Haha. As said, never done it before. Never need to :banana:

Some people like the look and do it foe that reason.

Along time ago, I thought it was for those that didn't wanna spend the money to get the right siZe.

Sorry mate, i misread the query as how far will the rims sit out from the guards.

Obviously offset will not effect how far the tyres sit out from rims

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.

      Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.

      What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.

      Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.

      Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
