I have a question about offsets...

I am looking at the brembo gt big brake kits that use the f50 calipers.

Here is the pic of the clearance guide,

CaliperClearance460.gif

A= 43

B= 122

C= 200

Would someone explain to me what would be the minimum offset rim I can use? I assume its +43mm but want to be 100% sure before I order some wheels.

I'm not too sure what offsets you would need, but I just wanna let you know if you didn't know already is that there can be two wheels with the exact same specs and one could clear the brakes and the other might not. You have to look at the design of the wheel's spokes as well.

The A measurement isn't offset. All that says is you need 43mm min clearance from the back of the spoke to the back of the hub at about a 200mm radius. (you probably need about 48mm to be safe to allow for rocks and shit).

That said, most GTR offsets will give you that sort of clearance, 9 +18, +22, 9.5 +15..... they all have heaps of room in that area. I'd say some 17's might be a little too small to fit over those calipers so you will need to be careful there, or go 18's and be certain.

If in doubt, trial fit.

if u are buying jap wheels like work or rays they normally specify disk type ie: low, standard and high disk clearance...normally denominated by the letters O, A and R disk. Makes it much easier to shop.

Yeah, Ray's wheels usually have the disk type and tell you whether or not they'll clear your brakes as well. I'm pretty sure they tell you whether or not they'll clear the standard GTR and Supra brakes, but I'm not too sure if they'll tell you if the wheels will clear aftermarket 8pot brakes for example.

Best thing to do is trial fit before you buy.

a bit hard when your buying rims that no one has in stock.

any suggestions?

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
