hey i'm thinking of getting 19's with the following tyre specs:

225/35/19

will they fit under the lowered cef easily? I should be able to have a test fit but just want to know if it's worth trying.

will they still be legal?

cheers!

FAT.

Got pics? :)

I'd say you need to roll your guards atleast. Probably spacers at the front. And a "fat" offset.

My rims are 18x7.5 (or 8.5) and the front needed 20mm spacers to fit (the guards are already rolled).

They wear 225/50/18 I believe. (Could be 235/45/18 can't remember).

I reckon I could fit 19's with 35 profile so if you want to test fit on a cefiro with spacers and rolled guards I volunteer mine (save you rolling your guards only to find you cant put the wheels on). I'd love to see my car with 19's (the 18's don't look big enough ehh heh so for a dumped look if I could I'd get 20's).

As for legality without engineering I don't know. I never was able to work out the proper thing (even after reading the RTA document about it) but... Duncan explains it pretty well here.

The actual RTA docs are here - http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow...si/vsi_dl1.html

And the wheel/tyre guide is here - http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow.../vsi09_rev4.pdf

Good luck :P

Whether the rims fit will depend highly on the offset and width of the rims.

Given the tyres you are planning on using, i'd guess they are 8 or 9inch. If you get the correct offset, then they should fit fine with some guard rolling..

the rims are 7.5 wide, with either an offset of ET20 or ET42 - these are the manufacturers specs but the guy with the wheels hasn't checked - they were on an R31 skyline so does anyone know which offset it is likely to be?

cheers!

no pics yet cc :)

this is what i have gathered from rta site and another forum.

stock wheel size ...according to my cefiro (which has a wheel placard) ..is 15 x 6.5 wheels with 205 /65/ 15 tyres.

legally without a engineering certificate u can only go 1 inch wider and a max of 15 to 20 mm larger in total wheel and tyre diametre size......so u could have 18s on but lows profile tyres of 35 or 40 or something like that ....check it againt one of those tyre size calculators....this is this is one

the rta website says for enineering ....they can only go up to 2 inchs wider that the extra inch i think ...which would be another 3inchs to the width of the stock rim ......

thats how i read it anyway...

I recently got rims on mine with no spacers.

Front and rear have been rolled slightly

18 x 7.5 (offset +32) on front with 225/40/18

18 x 8.5 (offset +32) on rear with 255/35/18

I start to get the fronts rubbing on full lock, and not much room at the rear.

They seem to be a pretty perfect fit.

put it this way pimpdat you wouldn't wanna lower your car too much with 10 inch on the rear, especially with 9 inches on the front, but if you're going for the "pimmped out" look then they'd look quite porngraphic on a cefiro

i had 17x10 wheels on my cefiro for motorvation this weekend

they had a gtr offset(i have 5 stud conversion)

they was just tooooooooo wide on the rear and my guards are rolled slightly, i had to dial heaps of neg camber to get them to fit

but on the front it was fine the offset allowed for everything to clear and they only stuck out a little bit

so the offset is the most important thing

Also just to throw a spanner in the works... I think you need to make sure the wheels also clear your brakes, as I know my front ones without spacers, I cant even put the nuts on the wheel properly. But umm, 19s dude... Think about that, they arent really a practical size wheel.

dubs are 20's dude!

yeah i know! but 19's!!!! argh. spoof. well basically i found a set for a good price and i am doing a bit of cefiro group research, so these opinions are welcome. unfortunately they are not in nsw so i need to go somewhere that stocks the rims and trial fit them... i think tempe would have em. I may just end up with 18s but the wheel arches are so wide on the cef i think they will look like 17s

pimp dat those rims are fkn FATTER than kirstey alley after a pie eating contest.

good luck getting your ride lowered over those though.

I have 235/40/18 on mine heres a pic for your veiwing enjoyment - I just threw these on and didn't roll any guards, they don't scrub at all - but there is a possibility that it was done before I got the car.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
