Hey Skyline owners!

I have a R33 rb25de( slow but does job ;) ) 1996 series 2 Skyline.

What i need help with is what rims can i put on it, like what looks best as well 19inch or 18inch etc.

Also wanting to lower the car abit so it looks nice at the right height with the rims on it so i dont scrape over jutter bars etc.

On my car the front is like half an inch higher not sure why but it looks weird as.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

I have 19's on mine

but go for 18's... the only reason I ended up getting 19's is because every rim I liked i got told couldnt get the right offset for 18's so eventually I got over it and said stuff it and got 19's lol

They look great, but there just to big, car felt about 10 times slower after putting them on because of the higher rolling circumference (going from 16's to this was a big jump)

Ive even ordered new 18's now to replace the 19's.

Depending on what size you want will depend on what offset you can run to avoid scrapping etc. Once you work out what size and width you want then you can work out what offset you will need :)

here are my wheels if you want an idea of what 19's look like, but again I reccomend 18's

ook, how low would a skyline sit on 18's looking nice but not scraping low.

I ordered Lenso D1R's in silver, 18 x 8.5 front and 8 x 9 rear.

i ordered them cause there similar to the rims i already have, I like a nice 5 spoke wheel, but thats just me.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
