Recently bought a set of work xd9s in 18x10 with a +18 offset. They havent been fitted to the car yet as its still in peices and waiting for paint. What i need to know is do these go on with out any mods, and will i need to stretch tyres maybe?

33 and 34 should be ok

not sure about a 32, think your going to have a little bit of an issue

thats the same offset /size 18/10/18 as i had on my NTO3s on the 34

why dont you just test fit one?

i havent ordered any tyres for it yet, i test fitted them on with the car off the ground, sticks out the guards a little, but i spose the car was unladen. Ive seen a few r32 gtrs with the same sized wheels, but unsure if any mods where done to get them on there

I had them on my 32 gtr with 235 tyres, only cuz that is what you could legally run on them in QLD and they stuck out 5-7 mm on standard suspension. So with some 265's and some lower suspension you should get away without flaring the guards, that if the guards havent been repaired for some reason in the past.

I'm in the same position at the moment with XD9's and looking at using a 265/35, would prefer not to roll the guards..

Here's a few from rimtuck.com without guard mods.

18x10+16 with a 275/35, -3 front camber and -1.5 rear camber and no guard mods.

18x10+20 with a 265/35, -1.5 and -2 camber and no guard mods.

When I first bought the car it had r34 gt-r rims with a 275/35, was going to add a 10mm spacer all round and it would of just cleared the guards. I checked the XD9's with a 265/35 against the old rims on a fitment calculator and it said the only difference is that the XD9's will stick out 7mm more.. I'm going to trial fit a tyre just to be safe before I buy a set anyway.

Here's the calculator

I run 263/35/18s on my XD9s the same size. You will need to get your guards rolled. I had them without the guards rolled and standard suspension and they used to scrub in the rears. Rolled guards and stiffer suspension has sorted out all my scrubbing issues.

im runing same wheel with 245/35/18 my gaurds are rolled, no clearance issues at all, goin to go 255 or 265 for my next set.

Is that both front and rear guards rolled? or did you get away with just rolling the rears?

i got 18*9 + 15's on my r32 gtr and i needed to trip the inner guard liners on the front and i need to roll the guards on the rear and i am running 245 wide tyres with a 35 profile

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
