hi guys,

just a quick one, i've just fitted some 17x10's to the rear of my cefiro & i'm looking for some decent rims for up front. i currently run 17x9 +38 meshies up front which with 40mm wider gards still needed to be rolled...

question is, will 9.5" wide rims fit up front okay???

i'm looking at the koya drift tek in 17x9.5 +18 offset...

thanks,

They will clear, just.

I've got 17x9 +30s, up the front, they sit flush with the guard, and about 3-5mm away from coilover, althought it can be more depending on the ride height.

At high speeds, it rubs on the coilover, noticeable less when it's not slammed.

depends on ur ride height, stiffness and wheel allignment. im running r33 gtr wheels which are 17x9.5, with 215/45 tyres, with stock ride height, stiff suspension, rolled guards, 2 degrees neg camber, not sure bout caster and they occasionally scrub at full lock usually wen im doing big angles with lots of speed at full lock

I've got 33 R wheels as well, they're 17 x 9, not 9.5.

You running any spacers?

I run 1 degree camber, stock guards, slammed and the only rubbing is on the coilover at high speeds up front, and I'm running 225s.

Sometimes the rears rub on the guards if I'm not carefull when reversing out driveway...they're 235s, and not sure of camber, more than the fronts.

Getting 215s all round tomorrow, that might help a bit.

Any idea's where yours are rubbing?

I dont have any issues on full lock.

Have you got the splash guards inside the wheel arches ?

17x9.5 +5 upfront on mine with stock guards

Care to pull more pics from previous owner's build thread? :P :P

Specifically...the ones showing all the rubber on the side mirror.... haha

Was running 9+30 with a 30mm spacer on the front of mine which sat about flush with 225/45 and 3 deg of camber. Now have 9.5+18 with a 235/45 and don't really like as the sit a bit too close to the coilover and sit in the gaurd a little bit more than the 9s. Would ideally like to run a 9 with 0 to -10 offset and a 225/40 tyres with my current amount of camber. Kris has it done right need mine to be like that :D

Note: am running r33 lca's with the knuckle pulled right out and abused standard gaurds.

    • 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.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
