correct. IMO, go equal size all round. makes it easier to swap tyres, rims front/rear(which if you have a mech diff you might need to do as they won't like a space saver), resale of rims to GTR owners etc.

+22 is the most you would go with unmodified guards

the offset number doesn't mean much without the wheels size.

he was asking about 8.5" and 9.5" wide rims

which ones were you suggesting +22 offset for? as there will be a 13mm difference in how far out they sit

^^ That's about right Adz, conservative offsets and sit almost flush with the guards.... i prefer more aggressive offsets :)

+22 would be the lowest offset at 9" wide on stock guards

For reference, these are R34 GTR wheels on a GTT which are 18x9 +30 all round... +22 will extend another 8mm outwards of the guard

I had the following on my GTT -

Front - 18x8.5J +30 offset (235/40/R18)

Rear - 18x9.5J +38 offset (265/35/R18)

thanks adzmax. just asking because these are work wheels i cannot try b4 i buy so to speak. i want the dished look at the back and not so much at the front. also i only want to have to roll the gaurds a little. no camber/ streched tyres to fit.

im running XD9's in:

17x9.5+17 fronts with a 215/40

18x10+38 rear with 235/40

On a R32 Gtst with rolled guards. not flared..

-1.5 to -2deg camber on rears

-3 deg camber fronts (cos front is slammed)

will i need to camber if i dont go so low??? also what is involved in this and do you scrub at all?? full lock bumbs ect. cheers

Nah u shouldnt need neg camber if u dont go so low, u shouldnt scrub... but, if you have very wide wheels and low offset with 0camber settings, the wheels can possibly stick out too much and look odd, usually when u lower your car the camber will start falling negative naturally.

to adjust the camber you can get camber arms front and rear... but thats more for dialing out negative camber than increasing it (from a performance perspective)...

nah i dont scrub @ all, not even @ full lock sliding over bumps. rolled guards + stretched tires + negative camber on front avoid the situation

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
