while im not an authority on rims, i believe that the max upgrade from a stock 8" wide rim is 9" on both sides, making your wheels OK. I dont know anything about offset however. I await scandys or dales input on this thread cos they seems to be the two most wheel savvy folks

-D

[Madaz]

dunno about legalities but don't run staggered tyre sizes, you want 255 all round on a GTR

some even say dont run staggered rim sizes too

wont pass. your 9 +15's bump out the track by an additional 36mm per side over standard. the maximum amount permitted by adr's is about 13mm per side (or, approx 26mm per axle, as you said).

thanks for the info i will need to get my hands on some wheels now ?

call wheeljerx/adelaide tyrepower/adelaide radial/jap import spares/adelaide jap and see if theyve got a set of passable stockies they can loan you.

if someone wants to tell me how to measure this shit ill take the measurements off mine. i went through regency with the 275s on and they had a 10min stare and group discussion but let them go

[scandyflick]

you know the widths and offsets of your wheels? easiest/fastest way to check.

if not, bust out the measuring tape and measure between the centre line of the tyres.

i just measured mine and got 1522 mm, stock should be 1480mm + 26mm max =1506mm which means its over by 16mm or 8mm 0n each side, is this worth worrying about .

Blingtr, your sig is a very big call...

one of the best/cleanest r32s in the world

[scandyflick]

lol. glad i wasnt the only one thinking that.

probably. depends if the inspector you get got a blowjob that morning or not. you can chance it if you want, but getting standard wheels and fitting them just gives regency one less thing to pick on you about.

Stock 32GTR wheels are 16 x 8 +30.

+17 is the lowest offset you can run. Width is irrelevant in this case, as the offset is the only part of the wheel specs that effects track.

I use this to calculate

just today i bought four GTR 33 stock rims which are 17 x 9 +32 offset , i think i got the offset problem sorted now ,but the rims come with 2 different sized tyres 215 front and 235 rear is this ok on GTR or do you need all 4 the same to pass inspection ! thanks

How GTR rim specs could be so unfamiliar to people on a Skyline forum revered for it's overall technical knowledge is beyond me.
