I'm currently trying to figure out what would be best suited out of these two sizes but I don't really have my head around offsets too well.

I want the wheels to be a flush fit with the guards, not tucked in and not hanging out. Can anyone confirm if either of these sizes are correct?

18x10+20 or 18x9.5+22

If you have either of these sizes on your 32 I would be grateful if you could post close up pics of how they fit in the guards.

They sit fine now but I have a 5mm spacer as the fronts rubbed the inside tyre wall without it, they came with the car and I have no idea what their offset is unfortunately.

So if +12 is dead flush, is +20 sitting in or out the guards?

I've got 18x10 +18 with my front and rear guards have been rolled and worked on. And it works perfect

Alright Deano any chance you could post some pics up for me so I know where they will be roughly?

Just super keen to know exactly how they will sit before I lay down nearly 4K.

Hi Matt, I run 18x9.5 +12 and they sit flush. (Tyres are 255/35/R18).

265's will scrub on the front but very minor on lock going slow.

I'll get some pics today

As per your first post

18x9.5 +22 will sit 10mm further in.

18x10 +20 will sit 2mm further in

Deano's 18x10 +18 will sit exactly the same as mine.

18x10 +20 will sit 2mm further in

Hope some of the snaps help your choice

Richard thanks for the thorough response that was just what I was looking for.

Your fitment is pretty much spot on what I'm after so 2mm further in the guards I'll be stoked with, I run 255's on 10 inch wheels now so that's what I'll be using on the new rims.

I am running CE28's 18x9.5 +15 with 265's all round.

Heaps of room! I could drive a truck through that guard gap.

I think a +12 would be better or a 18x10.5

Hi guys I'm new to this forum and new to Skyline ownership. I've recently brought a 32 gtr and am looking to put new wheels on it but have a couple of questions I hope someone on here can help me with:

1. Will 19 x 9.5 +30 fit under the guards and clear the struts, or will there need to be some modifications done?

2. Does any one know how much a standard rim weighs? ( no tyre )

Unfortunately the car is not at my house so I can't measure distances etc and like many haven't quite grasped the offset concept yet.

I assume because the standard (16x8 +30) are the same offset as the rims I'm looking at that, they will just be .75 inch closer to the strut and the guard?

Cheers

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
