Im looking at some LMGT4 18 x 8.5 +20 and 18 x 9.5 +30 rears

looking at fitting the widest tyre possible without too much rubbing. Will the front have any poke or need camber at all to fit a 245 atleast.

Edited by B-rice

I had 245/40 on my old 17x9, my definition of stretch is different to yours of course.

265/35/18 on 18x10

Same size on 18x9

Each to their own

profiles are different... I said 235/45 as it's the most common size, you are talking about 235/40, which is more expensive and is always going to be more stretched as the sidewall is 5% shorter

also i'm not sure the relevance of a pic of a 265/35 on an 18x10

fwiw 235 on a 9 is well within the legal range too :)

I've had 245/40 and 245/45 on my 17x9 wheels and were stretched. 265/35 on my 18x10 are stretched, but my definition of stretch would be different to say, yours, I'm guessing. I didn't say anything about 235/40 :unsure: . The person asking didn't say anything about prices, plus 245/40/17 aren't as expensive these days. Yes 235/45/17 is cheaper as it's way more popular. That being said, would you want to run wider tyres that fit into the guards? I'm going to run 255/40/17 on the back of my R31 (17x9 wheels).

Picture was relevant to my "stretch" point (sidewall angle). 245 is slight stretch, 235 would be even more (that was my point).

Plus, 245/40 on a 17x9 +22 was made to fit on my mate's S14 with rolled guards, so that is a real world example (unless S14 guards have more clearance than R32).

hi everyone been reading for a while but not much on rotas


i have decided i would buy Rota-G force.


I want something that sits flush.dont mind if guard rolling is needed


dont want camber or anything like that n the car is still on stock springs


these are the set's that around what i wud like



18 x 9, +35


18 x 9, +27


18x9.5




what offset would look good ?


cheers :)


Sorry:/

Well some guy is selling rims he had on his 350z & they look really nice

I'm thinking of buying them.

18x10+ 12 rears

18x9.5+ 20 fronts

Rota is the brand

What sorts of problems will I come across to get them to fit?

Any help would be great:)

Cheers

will need to roll guards and camber

OR

roll and pull guards a little (flareing not reqired if you run like 245's on the 10's and 225/235's on the 9.5's)

OR

flare both guards to ensure the rims can fit and run the apropriate ammount of rubber

OR

run at landcruiser height

guard liners will have to be reomved to flare the fronts also if you want to go low

Can guard liners be retained if you just roll the fronts and not flare? Is there any benefit to doing so, or does it just lessen clearance?

they can however it's better to remove them as the bolts that hold them in are pretty good as catching tyres if the car is low

also clearace is an issue... my tyres would hit the metal above on occasion so liners would have been destroyed anyway...

also it's a good idea to jimmy up something to hold the cables out of the way in the right front arch

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
