as stated, im getting my 3 piece enkei RS Evolutions Rebuilt, and the front 2 are getting new outer barrel.

color will be full matte black bolts will be gold

so on the front i will be sitting 17x9 and the rears will be 17x10

originally the 17x9 were on the rear and 17x8 on the front

so front getting an extra 2 inches and popping them straight onto the rear.

guards will be getting pulled by about 1-2cm to try and fit in the rims.

i will be hoping the rears will be sticking out an inch at least, and front will be nice and flush.

currently running 215 45 17's for the 9j rims and still tossing up on what i should run the 10j's on, its either going to be 225's or 235's

what would you guys suggest?

and all up incl tyres will cost me around the $900 mark

p.s these are the real enkei rs's not the fake ones.

they will go on my s2 stagea

hmmmm, never thought about the satin, may actually invest in that, iva always had matte black, from my pc case to my older cars and car parts.

i shall see how much extra that may be.

depending on how much you flare the guards, I would say go with the 235's on the 10j rears. My brother has gram lights 57 pro's 18x10 +12 all round on his s15 and the tyres are stretched, but not over the top stretched (it looks really good)

definately go satin black.... my te37's r satin and they r awesome lol.

ill get some pics soon, cars a lil broken in the garage atm :whistling:

also i run 245's or 255s on the rear of mine and 235's up front and thats on 9.5's all around.

hmmm, those gold ones tm7gtr posted up, are close to the same dish as mine, pretty nice, i guess ill go with 235, seems to be a nice stretch. will be getting the cheap crap tyres though, kumho ecstas k31 i think they were, they are very soft and burn rubber really fast. but therefore grip is superb.

dont know if the offset will be changed, since its still the same distance from the inner dish as before.

offset will change (for the better) as the midpoint of the wheel width will move outward roughly half of the increase in width overall while the hub stays stationary. brake clearance will stay the same

changing the outer lip on 3 piece wheels wont change caliper clearance at all.

yeah, i get that lol

was more asking just incase he had different faces on the fronts and rears.

my first set of professors couldn't be swapped due to differing faces.

oh yeah, ive never really gotten the whole offset thing really, but either way, i still need the spacers to clear my suspension :D but only on the rear.

did you need spacer before getting them widened... If not, i suggest putt the outer rim that is currently on the rear on front and putting new widened lip on the rear...

Double handling you say, well think about it...

You wont need to add spacers as the inner rims and wheel faces will remain the same just widening front and rear outer rims only...

Most staggered sets of wheels have different inner wheel widths and different brake clearances on front and rear faces for brake clearance.

And yes offsets will change and because your widening they will go from a high offset to a lower offset as you are increasing the outer rim width and by doing that changing distance from centreline to hubmount plane.

offset is the difference between the hubmounting surface (plane) with respect to the midpoint (centreline) of the wheel width centre.

+ve offset if its closer to the outer ie less dish or sit under guard

-ve offset if its closer to the inner ie more dish or closer to body or sit outside guard

anyway this pic should explain

Also if you domt mind me asking, whos spinning up these new barrels (outer rims) for ya...

I can only think of 2 mobs,

one ive dealt perfectly with, the other is a c*%^ that just doesnt wanna do odd jobs such as widening

paid him 50% pf his quote, he said 4wks then pay balance on pickup

only 14wks later i had to force them to give my wheels & money back cos he hadnt even started yet...

PM me as the above was at least 3.5-4.5yrs ago

and i need to go down this path again with 2 other sets of wheels...

    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
