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...

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
