Gtr Nismo Wheels On A V35 Gt Coupe

Hi all.

I have a set of 18" RAYS / Nismo LMGT2 3 piece wheels that came off an R33 GTR and another set that came off an R34 GTR. Question is, are they a direct bolt-on for a V35 Skyline GT coupe? I do not have the offsets in front of me (and I am not an expert on them anyway) but I hope the vehicle's they came off will give someone in the know a clue if they will fit. The exact wheels are in the pics attached.

Thanks in advance.

Out.

It all depends on the offsets.

I've seen GTR offsets in the low teens. Something like this may not fit unless you do some serious guard rolling.

Being 18" the diameter will more than likely be fine, as I've seen V35's go to 11inch wide without too much drama.

The offset is really your only issue. If they are in the low 20's, high teens then you may be right. As an example a +22 offset is almost perfect for a V35.

Yeah, without offsets it'd be impossible to call.

They look a little sunken in on that R34 so its definitely possible, but I wouldn't stake my guards on it.

You can run an 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +22 on our cars without rolling the guards.

If you're willing to do some mods to the car (front and rear camber adjustment equipment, rolling the guards) you can fit aftermarket R34 GT-R rims onto our cars. There's a guy in the US running 18x10.5 +15 rims all round on his 350Z with 275 width tyres, with guard rolling and lots of camber.

Unfortunately he's taken his pics down from that thread (and other threads don't show it), but I remember that it did look retarded on the front since the tyres stick out with the amount of camber being run. An OK look if you're building a race car, but it looks a bit ghetto on a street car.

I will say that they will fit for sure. They look to be the same or more sunken than standard R34 GTR rims which are 18x9 +30. I have seen 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18 on both V35 and R34 GTR (same rims that we tried on) and the rears were flush with 275/35/19 tyres and the front we still a little sunken in but not as much as in your pics.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p

      Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.

      Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from

      Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
