Hey guys sorry to open another wheel thread but i am looking at buying my new wheels tomorrow, I have read countless threads and am sure these will fit fine but just wanted to double check with you guys before hand. The new wheels are 18 x 8.5 and 9.5 inch +30 which i understand to be same as stock 18's just a tad wider. So was just hoping you guys with a higher knowledge then me could let me know if these will have a nice fitment that is going to be legal and all.

Thank you for any help you may give. Almost forgot to add....its a coupe =)

yeah +30 is a bit weak, i learnt my lesson when i bought +25 offset wheels.. they sink in the guards pretty bad but i didn't want to run spacers for insurance purposes. I'd look for wheels with lower offsets or consider spacers.

Yeah im looking at these - http://www.importmonster.com.au/shop/product_info.php?cPath=40_45&products_id=1322 have seen them with a +20 also so might get on and ask the guys if they can get em lower then that if not ill just keep my eyes peeled for something similar.

Yeah been tossing up on if i should get 18's or 19's dont really wanna get 20's like i did on my last car tyres cost to much and I enjoy having a functional spine after a long drive. And yeah im the same as you gonna try steer clear of spacers so i cant have it used against me by my insurance.

might be an idea just to save a bit more money, and spend it on a quality set of japenese wheels with the right offsets in a 19''. Tyres are still going to be expensive in a 19'' too.

    • So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.      
    • Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.
    • Sorry to say, I think that is a pretty long shot on this forum.....
    • sorry, "info" from Lumley here: https://www.lsvcarinsurance.com.au/about-nrma-insurance
    • So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
