Cant Fiena 17 X 9 +30 Forged Rim

[Roy]

I am after a good quality forged 17x9 rim with offset of between +28 and +30. About the only thing i can find is the std R33 GTR rim. I nee 9.5 rears, but it looks like i will have to go with odd front to rear rims so i can get the sizes i want.

Any wheel groupies out there know of a brand?

TE37's and Buddy club P1 QF come in 17x9 +28

Thats all I know of...

what are you smoking roy?

you want a 9.5 rear, but you're asking for a 17x9 +28 to +30?

what is the question???

you're a weird unit.

[BHDave]

I agree with ronin. You are on some weird shit roy, and i want some....

Can we go back a step? What size semis are you trying to fit to your nugget, and how mangled are you willing to make your guards?

LOL, was tired when posted thread. I want a matching set of wheels. After farkign around with so many sets the past 12 months looking for brake and guard clearance, this is what i have decided i can run without too much stuffing aroudn with guards.

Front. 17 x 9 +30, R33 GTR rims can be used and guards easily lipped to clear them. For the rears my old 17x9.5 +38 were almost perfect for the rear. Again , a little lipping and rolling of guards it would have plenty of clearance

I want to run 245/17 front tyres and 255/17 rear tyres. Ideally want to run the same set of rims, but i cant find anything that is forged and in the sizes i am after. Looks like i will grab the first set of rears i can find (TE37, LM GT4, RPF1 etc, plenty of choices) and run R33 GTR rims on the front.

I have a set of 17 x 9 +20 which i think will be ok on the rear but front isnt going to play ball. But at least this means i can run 245 all round and rotate tyres based on wear...lol but i would prefer the 9.5" out back and 255 tyre

Think ahead a little further Roy. I went through the same issues you are currently dealing with in regards to tyres for a gtst.

I wont go in to the thought process that led me to where i currently am but it worked.

I now run 17x9 all round with 255 x35x17 all round.

the benefits are obvious, I can share the wear to a greater degree by having 4 tyres the same.

And..More importantly. Skylines are big heavy fronted jew nosed bugga when it comes to weight distribution. Always fighting understeer and premature front tyre wear etc. By bringing the fronts to the same size as the rears it made a marked difference to the way the car handles.

I am going to take it a step further before next seasons time attack series and swap out to 18's and maybe around 275/285 rubber.

35 profile? So you are still running road tyres as i was not aware of a semi that comes in such a low profile?

Interesting point, but my car has never struggled for understeer, the way i have it set up it really is a tad oversteery if anything

Yeah my bad Roy, The 17 inch dunlops are 40. The new rsr federals are a 35 tho. Keen to try them as they look a real step up from the earlier model which was a capable all round tyre but no match for the more dedicated track rubber like the dunlops, bridgestones etc.

I'm going through the same thing Troy.

I think I'm going to settle with 33 GTR rims with 235 front and back. Needs a bit of guard work though. Mine aren't even lipped.

[Beer Baron]

troy, you can go 33 GTR all round and run a 245 on the fronts and a 255 on the rears. the 255s still go 'ok' on the 9. that is providing you can fit the +30 9s on the back with the 255 (i think you can). I just hate it when I can't "fiena" the wheels I want. lol. put the can down before posting!
