was wondering if anyone could help me out picking a offset to suit wider guards?

any formulas that u guys use or anything would be great.

basically im thinking about either rolling my guards out, getting wider guards, or even fitting a entire wide bodykit on it.

so i need to know wat offset to use with my wheels.

any help would be great.

Try using that. Just experiment with what offsets you can get your hands on and compare them too your wheels that you have on at the moment. It tells you how much it will stick out or in etc.

thanks adam, although its a bit confusing when ive got 8inch rims atm and im changing it to 10inch, i dont know how it directly affects the offset.

maybe i should get a pro to do it? lol

Easiest way is to start with the wheel specification and then plug it into the calculator, then determine how much more clearance you need.

Generally if you want something like GTR offset rims, you're looking for 9" wide rims with +12 or +22 offset.

you need the following:

size of current wheel (diameter,width):

current wheel's offset:

distance current wheel sits inside guard:

distance bodykit extends guard by from standard body:

camber (don't need this if you haven't changed it from factory):

if you have 18x8 I'm gonna guess your offset is +34 or +35, if you wanted to extend that another 170mm you'll need a pretty f*kin wide wheel unless you resort to spacers. I've got 14" wide with an offset of -60 using that calculator :thumbsup:

If you would like to speak to a workshop about rolling/lipping guards, fitting low offset wheels, fitting kits and respray work, contact Primal Garage. They're located in Brooklyn, just down the road from Dr Drift's workshop.

But as other people have said, you need to post more info. If I were you I'd probably just get the guards lipped and flaired, you'll be able to fit at LEAST a 10" wide rim on the rear with +12 offset and 9" on the front with 0 offset, not too sure how wild you can go with a R34 Skyline.

im most likey to get a actual wider body instead of rolling guards. i couldnt possibly roll my guards 170mm each side.

and yes nismo its 170mm each side, its a pretty massive kit im getting.

unfortunately i dont have any pics but expect something insane.

but here are my measurements for my wheels atm

18x8

offset is unknown ....im assuming +35 or something around there. is there anyway of finding out exactly?

ive got pretty much no gap between my wheels and my guards. its around 2-3mm if that.

its not final but the bodykit will increase guards width by around 160-170mm "each" side.

massive kit

i guess what i really need to do is find out exactly how big my guards will pump out then work on wheel offset.

Edited by R34NRG

If thats the case then i'd be really interested to see it...do u realise thats an additional 6.9 inches each side...good luck in finding wheels to suit dude...18x12 -20? :(

Kakimoto kit????

we have an original kakimoto and it only runs 13" at the rear and 10" in the front. My BN sports widebody runs 12" at the rear and 10" at the front.

I think its 170mm total, so divide that by two per side. Not even JGTC cars are that wide.

lol...Andru are u telling porkies again??? adding 34cm to the total width of your 34 I worked out...you wouldn't be able to fit in a single garage, normal parking spots and 1/3 of your car would be taken out by traffic if you parked on the side of the road :D

was wondering if anyone could help me out picking a offset to suit wider guards?

I had 10's on the rear and 9's on the front of my R34 can send photo if you want

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
