That's right, std offset is +45. Most ppl are going anywhere up to +30 on 8"wide rims without clearance issues.

If you're going aftermarket and aren't sure check an offset calculator or post the sizes here, someone will be able to help out.

I have done a lot of maths on this as im ordering rims from japan and dont want to spend all my cash and find it doesnt fit... and it seems that the ideal fitment for a 250t to really fill the guards will be 8.5J with a +22 offset. Now you can probably fit a 9J with +20 offset but the fronts might scrub the guards.

But 8.5J +22mm will get them right out there without fouling the guards or the front swing arm (if it wasnt for the stupid front swing arm on these cars you could easily fit 9.5" all round).

Now I worked this out with some basic maths, but I will be putting a dummy set in place next week to 100% confirm before ordering my wheels - I will keep you posted

I recently had the following staggered combo that fit fine, but screwed with the attesa:

Rear: 19x10 +40mm (filled the guard perfectly!) so that makes 87mm from hub to guards without rolling - add another 10-15mm with rolling

Front: 19x 8 +30mm (needed at least another 15mm to really fill the guards) so about 86mm from hub to guard would be ideal. The issue is inside clearance on that front swing arm.

Cheers,

Ben.

i hope they arent 17x17jj :blink:

anyway, 17x7 +30 should fit fine depending on the spoke configuration. but if you need a set of M35 stockers, i have some with almost brand new tyres FS

ok sweet.

am i able to borrow them or how much do you want for them??? cos im looking at the cheapest way out LOL.

ooops my mistake did i put 17x17jj i meant 17x7jj lol im just so stressed over this , nothings going right :blink:

the truck took a huge chunk out of my front spoiler GRRRRRR not impressed

I for one, am looking forward to seeing those brave offsets on your car!

What did you end up going with, or do we have to wait?

8.5J +22 offset is pretty mild - im confident it will sit perfectly, without the need to roll guards etc.

I havent gone with anything yet, but I have 2 options at the moment, and pending that dummy fitting I will make a decision on one.

The problem is, with most japanese wheels you cant get the deep (concave) face unless you go 9J or wider.

Knowing that 9 x 10J fit no problems on the rear its only the fronts that limit options on this car.

I have also found a few Japanese M35 stageas running 20x8.5J +18 without rolling.

I'd dispute this, does your importer have proof the car wasn't damaged before the truck picked it up?

If so, throw the responsibility back on them. You didn't pay for a smashed up car. If they're not at fault, then they'll want the trucking company to stump up.

Just because the car is modified, doesn't give them an excuse to trash it, if anything they should be MORE careful.

yeh i have a photo that shows the front which i zoomed in on the front spoiler and shows no Damage and the dealer has pictures aswell :) so the dealer is sorting it out with SMB transport. if not i have already put in a complaint with department of fair trading :) so hopefully they will do something.

but its taking so long.. have just under 3 weeks before it goes to the pits grrrrr...

It's a shame in these situations that they just won't own up, accidents happen, everyone understands.

Denial only leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. Hope you get it all sorted.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
