Dish man, is just a term for what some wheels have when the spoke doesn't protrude to the edge of the mag. For example. An XD9 Work rims has dish...and XT7 work rim does not. even though they can be gotten in the same size....dish is just a wank term used to discribed the flat surface between the spoke and the edge of the wheel.

Yea I know what dish is but someone was always going on about dish when the offset was mention without considering the model/design of the rim itself. The fact that he's probably better in mechanics than I am, confuses me when my own understanding. So what I originally thought was right. Between +22 and +15 with same design/size, the +15 will appear to have more dish because its closer to the centre of the hub. The only way of having more real dish for them is to get bigger width size.

My rims are Volk GT-AV - 19" x 8.5F, 9.5R not sure what the offsets are though the back fits perfect with f**k all camber and the front are about 10mm inside the gaurds

GT-AVs are 2 piece, I am not sure how/if they can be widened

Pretty good price and looks good too!

:)

Found out from a mate that there's a guy in briz vegas that chops rims an makes em wider . . . Anyone knw about this ?

Generally multi piece rims can be widened by taking them apart and putting in a wider centre hoop or whatever its called. I've never heard of anybody chopping and rewelding a rim back together. I doubt you would be able to do that without causing some serious issues with the strength of the wheel.

Still dodgy. It'll be even worse if you have a high powered car. Anything thats broken (intentionally or unintentionally) will not be as strong which is why 1piece forged rims are so exp.

Tris: guess what? I'm an idiot again, seems like always managed to go on the wrong channel all the time. I thought you were referring to the offset when you said 7... HAHAHA. Yes, 7" wide is fail. Fit maybe 205? I wish mine were like colin's 10.5 :(

1 piece rims are more expensive because of the way they are made. Pressing the material into the shape of the rim means they use less material but it is denser so you get stronger and lighter wheels. 2 or 3 piece wheels can still be as strong but they will be heavier.

What are they anyway?

Back on those pic, yea I sorta figured out the difference between positive and negative offsets but I remembered someone told me its related to dish. Say if you've got +22 and +15 on the same wide and size rim, the +22 will have more dish and this is what confuses me. What I understand from looking at those cross sectional diagrams is the offset's got nothing to do with the dish size, its the width and rim design that dictates it. What offset does is determine how much your wheels will stick out or in from the hub.

Thats it.

XT7 FTW :)

Pfft. XD9 ftw :P

Yeah Im not a fan (got none on mine) but it is hard to find wheels that fit perfect

Its more difficult when you're buying them second hand. If you order them new you can just specify what offsets you want. ;)

Didn't you buy the Tein Super Streets? Can't you adjust them further?

Dish is determined less by offset and more by brake clearance. Most quality rims are available in 3 different clearance sizes to allow for varying size of brakes.

2 rims same offset can have varying amounts of dish as a result of different "disc" size as it is called.

It is a factor in rim purchase that many have neglected to their dismay when they find their new wheels wont clear their brembo's etc.

You can weld STEEL wheels.. yes. I've done standard Nissan alloys to run SICKS ONLY - NO STREET USE.

I'd question welding an alloy for street use.. It can be done though.

The best is just buying new outter or inner shells/bands/barrels if you have a multi pce rim

Hahaha, only if you pay for them. I'm running stockies now! My sis' wedding next year raped my bank account. So yea, gotta live with it until later next year.

What time are you heading there? I'll probably be free after dropping the missus home around 9:30ish. Anyone else coming??

Noel: Which is why Rays' are good. They have the list of offset/size/fitment online! I dont know how can anyone got the wrong model for their car from Ray. Researching does help and I find that list they have is pretty much all you need. Like you've said, they have disc type too which applies to GT-Cs. Same size same offset but wrong disc will f**k your brembos or any big brakes.

      That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age

      Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.

      Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.

      If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
