I reckon the Rays te37 with the red lip (2nd pic)

I agree, cant go wrong with te37s.

My favorite are jdm drift spec rims, Super advans 17's with a offset no more then +20 by 10s

People will think your car is a track car, plus they are hot.

What ever you go with, remember offsets is what makes the rims look hot.

mate its your car pick what you want dont post every possible wheel here as its unlikely you will get a 100% approval.

work out the overall style you want from your car and then what is important to you in the wheel is it looks or light weight performance focus?

if you havent tried hit up

j-imports.com

importmonster.com.au

and the for sale forums here and ns.com lots and lots of rims up for grabs..

Im a newbie at offsets, been reading guides etc but still clueless :P

i want the centre of the rim to go inwards but dont know what offset that is.

I have stock suspension , i was wondering what offset can i fit up to without any mods?

My current stockies are 17" 40 offset.

I want 18" as my new sets.

Sorry for being a newbie, dont want to be flamed at :cool:

you need to get yourself into the offset thread.

in shot it will fit easily im pretty sure r34 guards are quite generous you can get away with a 18x10 +20 or so without much effort at all perhaps a roll.

what you have posted above would be seen as a bit conservative but depends how agressive you want to be.

for example my r33 is running 18x9.5 +15 front (20mm wider front guards) sits flush and a 18x10 +20 rear

but other things count as well such as stretching tyres etc.

are you talking about concave rims? or deep dish rims there is a difference.

this is deep dish

this is concave (spokes going back in)

P11000022448x18361836x1377.jpg

Rears will fit fine, don't know for sure but I think 9.5 +38 on the front will sit outside the guards

Thanks for the help mate! one last size questions! I PROMISE :rant:

What about this?

18x8.5 +32

18x9.5 +12

Since the front are less wider, i guess it wont sit outside the front guard

but what about the offsets? will both Offsets clear my calipers?

The wheels im looking at are Work Emotions CR Kai's and the wheels are brand new, therefore dont think i will be able to trail fit it before i buy it.

Plus i want to find out before rather than just taking the sellers word for it.

Cheers mate.

9.5 +12 will need a rolled guard with stretched tyres. either that or it will just poke out and fender will need a flare.. its a kinda hardcore offset, more suited to a GTR.

the sizing im going to get with new wheels is as follows if its any help.

18x8.5 +30

18x9.5 +35 or +30 for staggered look, depending on what type of wheels i get.

You should be able to trial fit them if u take the car there.. just dont tigthen the wheel nuts so they dont get scratched.. jack it up remove your wheel and slide the new one on and check for guard clearance..

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
