Different Wheels Size On R35 Gtr !


Recommended Posts

as long as you maintain the same diameter / height front to back you will be ok. ie. the combined height of wheel + tyre needs to be the SAME (or within about 2%) front to back, otherwise VDC will kick in (thinks you are wheel spinning). So yes in theory you can run a different diameter wheel, as long as the tyre size/profile compensates to make the front and back wheel+tyre the same approx height. Hope ths makes sense.

You might want to think about the tyre pressure monitor thing too.

how about the offset, how much different in offset can the R35 run?

A few of us have run some pretty odd offsets, the computers don't really care. Obviously there are other issues which affect every car.

yeh no issues here running larger and wider sizes, in fact the car feels even more planted and comfortable on the road

though i played it safe, and went same size increase all around - so that's 1" wider and 1" taller than stock

i put new oem sensors in my new wheels and the dealer cant get them to pair up. Last resort will be either to buy them from an Aussie dealer and cross my fingers they work, or pull apart my stock wheels and take the sensors out of those - a job for when i cbf, atm im just ignoring the light on the dash

so as long as the diameter the same the offset really doesn't make any issue with the GTR ATTESA system?

Would previous model (R34) be affected if the offset different? I hardly seen the old model running on different offset (maybe I am blind lol)

Correct r35 doesn't care about offsets, some of us have run some pretty stupid offsets, mainly due to limited wheel choice. Equal diameter front vs rear is important however. Must be within 2% or thereabouts. My experience is that anything less than 640mm height has issues too.

Sorry I have NFI about the r34 system.

R34 AWD system doesn't care about offset either but like all GTRs they need as much front grip as possible. more front track gives you some more grip so most run same offset front and rear. there is no point having your wheels stick further out in the rear just cause it looks cool. all it does is make the car handle poorly.

Problem being thanks to the hella flush fitment/stretched tyre brigade you cant even get proper sized & offset rims anymore to suit the tyres you want to run. :rant:

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
