On the wheel issue , You really need to look into a narrow wide combo on the car now that you have a RB25 in the front

,I had 225 8J wheels on the rear with the 280kw on road tyres and i was all over the place traction wise . You will want to upgrade the turbo and supporting mods in the future so get the wheels right first time

.

9/9.5j for a 255/265 minimum for decent traction on the rears .

A-Line have a decent range like RB25SX has on his car , If you cant find 17' 9/9.5j then look to widen a 7.5/8j rim to accomadate bigger rubber .

Or stick to the 225/17 if you enjoy going sideways down the main road

hey, thanks for the info n help

i'm more about the traction on my car then the going sideways (only cause its a road/daily driver, dont get me wrong

DRIFT

)

any idea how much it costs to widen a set of wheels? also, what does this do to the wheels structural integrity and strength?

gona have a look at the A-Line wheels avaiable, thanks again

still open to suggestions guys

oh ya, also about the narrow/wide setup, do you think this would be the best for s13/RB setup? cause of the extra weight n all in front etc...

It cost me about R2500 to get it done through Zaki at Whellworx who sends it up to Hi-Tech , But they seem to have increased there prices so you going to have to get a price first ,Look around there must be rims available .A-Line will have something

Yes if you can go wide at the back

i'l get a price from him, been there before, with my golf

thanks

BUT changing Hubs is NOT cheap either - +-R5800 for a set.
