correct. IMO, go equal size all round. makes it easier to swap tyres, rims front/rear(which if you have a mech diff you might need to do as they won't like a space saver), resale of rims to GTR owners etc.

+22 is the most you would go with unmodified guards

the offset number doesn't mean much without the wheels size.

he was asking about 8.5" and 9.5" wide rims

which ones were you suggesting +22 offset for? as there will be a 13mm difference in how far out they sit

^^ That's about right Adz, conservative offsets and sit almost flush with the guards.... i prefer more aggressive offsets :)

+22 would be the lowest offset at 9" wide on stock guards

For reference, these are R34 GTR wheels on a GTT which are 18x9 +30 all round... +22 will extend another 8mm outwards of the guard

I had the following on my GTT -

Front - 18x8.5J +30 offset (235/40/R18)

Rear - 18x9.5J +38 offset (265/35/R18)

thanks adzmax. just asking because these are work wheels i cannot try b4 i buy so to speak. i want the dished look at the back and not so much at the front. also i only want to have to roll the gaurds a little. no camber/ streched tyres to fit.

im running XD9's in:

17x9.5+17 fronts with a 215/40

18x10+38 rear with 235/40

On a R32 Gtst with rolled guards. not flared..

-1.5 to -2deg camber on rears

-3 deg camber fronts (cos front is slammed)

will i need to camber if i dont go so low??? also what is involved in this and do you scrub at all?? full lock bumbs ect. cheers

Nah u shouldnt need neg camber if u dont go so low, u shouldnt scrub... but, if you have very wide wheels and low offset with 0camber settings, the wheels can possibly stick out too much and look odd, usually when u lower your car the camber will start falling negative naturally.

to adjust the camber you can get camber arms front and rear... but thats more for dialing out negative camber than increasing it (from a performance perspective)...

nah i dont scrub @ all, not even @ full lock sliding over bumps. rolled guards + stretched tires + negative camber on front avoid the situation

do you have a side pic of your back wheel?? they look rather dished of +38. ill got that if they are as they fit the 34 easy.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
