yeah 18s will fit fine... just make sure the offset is right.

the one im selling has 18x10s on the rear with 235s stretched over them :D and they have a huge spacer on em.

but of course the guards are rolled and the wheels have neg camber so that helps i spose :) altho without the spacers they might fit anyway.

If you want to adjust you neg camber to accomodate some bigger wheels I have organised a group buy of Adjustable Rear Upper Links for $225 for a set. Im putting some on my car so I can eventually have white powder coated R33 GTR wheels in nice n tight :D ooo yeah baby...

+40 offset is fine dude, that's more like FF car offsets. remember people, the smaller the number is for the offset, the more the rim sticks out. so very few cars can have 0 offset without flares. only thing is +40mm offset wont clear bigger brake calipers, but at least you can have a 8 or 9 inch wheel under standard guards...try go for +35 or less for 8 inch wheels to give that flush look :D

Sorry to resurrect this thread,

but I'm once again buying new rims...

I won't say what, all I'll say is this...

Dual PCD : 4x114.3 & 5x114.3

Front : 225/40/18 18x8J, offset 23

Rear : 245/35/18 18x9J, offset 35

Obviously the PCD is correct, (duh)

the rears are fine I'm sure, but I do query the fronts, 8" wide and 23 offset? can anyone tell me how that would turn out?

...so I won't catch superAIDS if I put 8inch wide +23 offset? with stock front guards? they are slightly lipped though, by saying lipped i mean i have tucked the lip up on the inside of the guard...

...I'm excited about this, are you?

My Cefiro has 17x8 with 225 on the front and 265 on the rear. I think the offset is +41 [but I may be wrong... it's been a while since I got them and I'm not entirely sure]. I'm running R33 brakes all around and have loads of clearance without resorting to using spacers.

The fronts sit nicely in the guard and no clearance issues. The rears do stick out quick a lot... I have adjustable camber kit on the back and am running quite a lot of camber on there, and even so the wheels do stick out about half an inch at the top. I had to lift up the coilovers to nearly maximum height to give enough clearance and stop scuffing when the car bottoms out.

Will post a pic up soon as I get my car back from the autoelectrician...

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
