hey guys lookin at gettin a set of lenso d1rs for my r33 gtst

dont want to do anything over the top so no camber etc, will roll guards if needed and remove plastic liners

just want them sitting nice and flush with the guards...also car wont be lowerd too much as it has a kit so guards will sit about a cm or so above the wheel

heres some specs from the lenso website

WHEEL SIZE: 18x9.0®

ET: +15,+32,+40,+44

PCD: (5x100~114.3)

WHEEL SIZE: 18x9.5®

ET: +30,+40

PCD: (5x100~114.3)

WHEEL SIZE: 18x10

ET: +15,+22,+29,+36,+41

PCD: (5x100~114.3)

i hear the 18x9 +32 sit flush at front so ill probs be goin with that for the front,

question is from above what size will sit flush with the rear keeping in mind i dont want to run camber etc

how is that stupid? that is correct... 9mm more

imho go the 9.5+30 for the rears as it will look the same as your fronts.

9.5 + 30 is flush with no camber... i ran it for a couple of years

thx for the help guys

looks like id go

front 18x9+32

rear 18x9.5+30

with this flush fitmet ill need to get guards rolled n remove platic liners, i can remove platic liners myself, but who/where will do a good job of rolling the guards at a reasonable price?

how low do you wanna go?

fronts will only need the liner taken out if you slam it

180athid is te man fr al your guard rolling needs

cars got a kit on it, so wont be slamed for legal reasons, but wheel arch will sit above the tyre 10mm minimum may be more though.

180athid do i just pm him on sau...does he work at a shop or does he just have the equipment to do it afterhours?

hey man yeh leave your liners for now i doubt you'll need to roll them. Also id get ya wheels fitted up theres a good chance you wont need to roll em on those specs depending on ya height so save some cash for now can always do it later (roll the guards)

just so you know 10+36 will sit the same as 9.5 + 30 for outer position, if your wanting that fat look from behind id be heading down the 10" path. hope it helps :thumbsup:

Hey guys, really needing some help if someone out there is smart enough, I've tried researching and trying to learn but it all gets me confused =S

Anywho, long story short I'm currently building an R33 GTS-T RB25/30 with a custom wide body that i'm making myself lookin pretty sweet fiberglass btw, scissor doors etc, all metal fenders etc retained.

So the front body is 1 1/2" wider than original body, looking for wheel to sit out 1" past the original body.

and the rear body is 2" wider than original body, looking for wheel to sit 1 1/2" past the original body.

I have no problem at all rolling the front guards to fit, whatever it takes

I have no problem cutting and welding the rear arches to fit wide wheels past original arch (I'm a welder by trade)

Also after a decent dish! at the moment the car has 17" Sparco Racing rims can't remember width and offset.

wheels also have to get around the brakes without spacers / adapters

if you understand this and what I'm after, please help, I'm happy to take measurements, answer questions, etc.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated, just wanting to know if anyone has any idea what sizes and offsets i'd be looking for when searching for my wheels =)

easy man, you want to run camber ? guessing maybe not if its a widebody fibreglass scissor door autosalon style car by the sound of it?

if not just run a 9.5 +15 front or a 10+20 at a guess rear go an 10.5 or 11" with a 15 to 25 offset should do the trick.

but i have seen a widecustom 33 and the fibreglass returned inside too far to run wide wheels so hard to say without seeing what your working with.

actually just did a quick check for you.

if 9+30 is fairly flush on stock guards a 10" +10 will be 1.102 inch further out.

rears if you run an 11 +15 will sit 1.33 inch further out than a 9.5 + 30 which again is fairy flush on stock guards. None of this is taking into account stretch/camber/ride hieght but i doubt its overly relevant.

hey man yeh leave your liners for now i doubt you'll need to roll them. Also id get ya wheels fitted up theres a good chance you wont need to roll em on those specs depending on ya height so save some cash for now can always do it later (roll the guards)

just so you know 10+36 will sit the same as 9.5 + 30 for outer position, if your wanting that fat look from behind id be heading down the 10" path. hope it helps :thumbsup:

thanks mate, ill probs just stick to the 9.5+30 on the rear, long as its flush with the guards thats all i care about, cos i didnt really like how my rims on the na sat inside the guard

also with these specs front: 9+32 rear 9.5+30 what size tyres should i get?

Buckled a rim on the weekend...f*** you Wellington Road.

Long story short, I have D1R 18x9+32 all round...fronts looks reasonably flush but I always felt the rears could come out wider. Was going to put on spacers, but now that I need a new wheel, I'm seizing opportunity to buy two new wheels in a more suitable width/offset. Car is an R33 GTS-T with guards rolled but no flare. I'm not a fan of negative camber, but I want these new wheels as close to the rear guards without scraping.

What am I looking at offset boys? Wouldn't mind a 10" if I could pull it off (insert masturbation joke here) with the correct offset, but will this cut it fine with the suspension gear on the inside? Safest option seems to be 18x9.5+30 like Jason is getting, but will the extra 1/2 inch make much difference or will I be back where I was before?

Good idea on the offset calculator for inner clearance...

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Outer guard clearance is alot harder to measure though, particularly as it's an aesthetic thing too. Just wondering from experience what people have seen on the rears with rolled guards and no flare.

i have the 17x10 +15 on the rears, but i have slightly stretched rubber, and a bit of camber to make them fit. like you said, your not keen on camber so i think the only other offset they come (in NZ anyway) is +35, so i guess they are your only option in the 10" rim???

Got the XD9's on my car now, fronts are 18x9 +20 rears are 18x10 +18 (thanks to alr33x and joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo's recommendations!). Rear guards were pretty stuffed though from apparent (poorly done) old crash repairs on the right rear so the paint is all majorly cracked around the guard from being rolled pinch.gif next stop paint shop/panel beater it seems, probably need to flare the rears a bit anyway.... Anyway here they are in glorious shoddy camera phone form whistling.gif

    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK  
    • AFAIK on most Toyotas that half moon is usually an aluminum piece that you seal with RTV so you just source the valve cover gasket but I kind of doubt that you'll ever save money buying an aftermarket piece in this scenario.
    • If I tossed my money in a fire and filled my transmission with sand, it would end with the same result as buying from Speedtek. Actually, that's not true... My way, I wouldn't have to deal with Speedtek's dick head of a CEO for years on end and all his lies.
