yeah tires will be fine

spacers are illigal in some states

i wouldnt worry about the 8mm on the rear, just run a bolt on up front

or get the gktech spacers that come with bolt and slip ons to get the perfect offset

Thanks guys for the help, I guess I will look into running spacers on the front rims.(only coz I can't afford 1k for new rims right now)..with the 17x9+38 on the rears I prob have like mayb 5-10mm space between strut and inside tyre wall, so not sure if its worth the extra $200 to shift the rim 8mm outwards lol I guess I will try to find out if spacers are illegal in WA before i do anything , thanks again :)

Ok, so i spoke to my local Ttf store and they suggested that 235/45/17 tyres would be good on a 17x8 rim as on the 9" rim they are stretched and that's bad for traction/handeling in awd? Does offset change if I go down to a 8inch rim? Cheers

Ok last night had the best idear and put some 20X11 + 13 on the rear of my m35 axis but even with the 6 deg of camber I got its still going to need a little bit of guard work

Not 100% about using that 11" wide as don't think there is anyway I would get them on the other end

Didnt you say in the other post you have a wobble in rear end. Could tyre width have something to do with it?

Ok ATM I have 225 tires on both the 8 and the 9" wide rim both 45 profile

So if I keep my rolling diameters the same I should be sweet??

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
