R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

[Illest]

Been on here a while, don't post very often, but lurk around.

I currently have Rays Engineering CE28N's on my 34GTT, which I believe are 18x8 and 18x9 unsure of offset.

I am thinking about buying new wheels but I am unsure of what offset to fit, and if I can fit under the guards. I am thinking something a great deal more aggressive

Keeping in mind my guards have already been rolled, in Japan.

Was thinking of getting these Rota Grid-R's in these offsets, but perhaps there is a better suited offset on the website.

18x9.5 +18 front

18x10 +15 rears

Would like similar fitment to this, maybe perhaps slightly less aggressive.

Nissan Skyline R32 fitted with ROTA Grid R 18 x 10, 5x114.3 +15 Cosmic Blue

My question is how far can I push the offsets?

Also will 18x10's fit under my R34GTT, or is that pushing it too far for the rear, and perhaps 9.5 is too much on the front also?

Cheers in advance,

Michael.

There is a huge thread dedicated to offsets for skylines here - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84208-wheel-sizes-offsets-for-skylines/

But in short, the 10+15 will be too wide unless you plan on aggressively flaring your guards. The 9.5+18 will still be very aggressive, but if you want to give up some function for form, camber will make them fit. I have 9.5+20 with around -1.5deg camber on the fronts and they still poke around 10mm.

Thanks for the reply mate, I had checked out the other other forum but didn't find anything close to the specs I was looking for.

Yours sits pretty well!

9.5" will be the way to go then, with +18 or +15 offset, this whole business confuses the hell out of me.

Cheers,
Michael

Basically, the lower the offset (the +18 part), the FURTHER out the rim will sit. So if we compare 9.5+30 and 9.5+10, the +10 will sit 20mm closer to the guard than the +30.

And just to confuse you, this number is dependent on the width of the wheel - so 9.5+22 is the same as 10.5+34 (as you are adding an inch of width, the offset is 12mm higher because 1 inch = 12.7mm)

Use this website - willtheyfit.com to chose the offset right for you. There is plenty of information on that thread, you are not looking hard enough.

Judging by your profile, what you want is the lowest offset with the widest wheel width, combined with the narrowest tyres size.

SO like a 185 wide tyre on a 10.5" wide wheel, because it'll match your bumhole stretch.

Complete shot in the dark, but did/do you know someone called Micheal Tran?

I know a few Michaels, and few Trans, but not Michael Tran.

Mate to start with take your current wheel off & your offset should be stamped or written on the inside and width. Then go online and find a offset calculator, it will asked you to put in your current specs then it will tell you were your new wheel specs will sit. Remember if it's not aggressive enough you can always add spacers later. But you can't go back .

Thanks for the help sleptema.
