I'm looking at getting some Enkei RPF1s in SBC, going for a 18.85 +40 possibly for the front. Anyone know if this will fit okay or would I need to go closer to +30?

Kinkstaah is right, the wheels will never fit but with stretched tyres you might be ok. You will need 235/30 for the front And likely 255/25 for the rear

i tried to get heroic and squeeze 275’s on the back but the passenger side has scrubbed away about 2mm of sidewall. With a +25 offset I’m gonn need to downsize to 265/35/18

I also adjusted the camber to negative 1.25 degrees

The wheels have 215/35 and 225/35 on them. I’m ok to roll fenders but if it’s gonna be sticking way too far out i’d rather not waste the money.

 

thanks for the advice guys. Maybe i’ll try and find 18x9.5 +22 and run staggered tires

If I were to go the 40, would it poke or something?

The higher the offset, the closer to the car. +40 will not fit as you will hit the suspension unless you are using a really skinny wheel. Try to stick between +25 and +35, width depending

That doesn’t sound right for a 10.5. I’m not saying it’s impossible but the tyres would be completely stretched to their limits, plus with such a low sidewall, its not the correct fitment for a r34.

 

i have. 235/40 stretched over a 9.5 wheel up front

the 10.5 will 100% poke out but with a stretched 255/35 or 245/40 you might be in luck

it mostly comes down to ride height and your suspension set up 

 

this is how the 235/40 looks on the 9.5 (+20)

As mentioned above, higher positive number = closer to strut.

Nismo sizes: 8.5" +35, 9.5 +38

Okay well that rules out the +40s. So hard to find the right size in this colour I want. Would I be able to fit a 10/10.5 on the rear of a R34?

Your idea of 'fit' is different to others (and different to mine, which is also different to others)

10 +38 is a relatively common size at the rear of the R34.

With a square setup, the rear of the R34 pokes more than the front does, which was a surprise to me when I put on a square set of rims, or at least it did on my own car.


Like all things - What do you want to do with the car? This will determine what kind of fitment you really want. Talking 225 on 10's means I'm not the best person to advise as I am a more 265 at the front on a 9in rim kind of guy.

But making it fit is a question of maths and geometry really.

shit man, the coupe must be different to the sedan because im running 10.5 +25 on the rear and im about 7mm from touching the coilovers lol. +38 id have no chance.

 

i guess these things are best to just lie under the car with a tape measure

https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=265&aspect=35&diameter=18&wheelwidth=10&offset=38&width2=265&aspect2=35&wheel_size=18&wheel_width=10-5&offset2=25

 

According to this, it'd be 6.8mm closer to the suspension Strut. 

Note, did say 10 +38, not 10.5 +38. I had a 9.5 +27 on the back so I obviously had much more room on both sides.

This is just my personal opinion but do not stretch your tires too much or else it makes the wheel look like hub caps.

As if that's the reason to not stretch like that!  How about driving on the sidewall?  Or loading the sidewall completely contrarily to how the engineer designed it to be loaded?  Or how about setting it up to be popped off the rim edge when you hit a rock?  Or completely defeating the point of rim protectors on the sidewall of the tyre?  Or ruining the dynamic performance of the tyre?

Well yes, and all that too! 

But my pet hate is “Stance nation” crazy camber. I just don’t get it.

How about 18x9+40 245/40/18 all round 

The offset is too low for the front I believe.

Use the website willtheyfit and put in your current setup, get the measurements, grab a tape measure and see the difference for yourself.

Yeah I don’t know the setup atm I want to run 18x9s all round if I can with out the wheel sticking out 

18x9 + 30 is what you’re after my friend

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
