Hey guys,

i know that someone posts this topic every 2 secs but i can never find it.

im getting some Work Emotion Xd9 for my 34

looking at getting 18's but thats about all i know for size (im not 2 big on wheel knowledge)

should i get 18x8 or 18x9 etc

and what offset would be bet on my car so that i dont have to roll guards or anything like that and so they dont rub?

thanks in advance for any help

by lip do you mean rolling the guard?? is there anyway around this as i plan to put on east bear wheel arch covers which give it a bit of a flared look and dont think that will work if the guard it rolled

Yeah its not really a major flare its more of a tiny lip which is bolt on i believe from east bear. its really nice.

but i dont want to have to roll my guards.

so maybe 18x 8.5s or something

when i say lip the guards i mean the inside part of ur guard has a small lip that protrudes inwards towards the wheels, roll that upwards a tiny bit so it sit up instead of out.

rolling and flaring guards measn pushing out the guards to fit bigger wheel/tyre . i have done this with my car to fit deep dished rims.

the east bar arch thing is quite nice there is another company that makes them in carbon called superior auto creative but im unsure if they make them for the gt/gtt body

    • Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com  
    • Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com  
    • It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.
    • Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂
    • 1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
