need to get some feed back on what people think about the situation im in tomorow, im selling a set of 18x10in wheels tomorrow for another set of 18in rims, but i got word today for the same price as the 18in wheels im going to buy tomorrow i can get a set of 19x8 all round. with 255/30/19 rubbers. now the problem is i think i want to get the 19s but when i spoke to the guy at the tyre place im buying my wheels, he wants to do me a package on 20in wheels for a couple of hudred dollars more then the 19s.

now im stuck thinking should i get the 19s with 255's or get the 20s with 235 rubber.

i get wheel spin with 255s and am worried that the 20s wont have enough traction for my car.

looking for some feedback on what people would choose so i know when i get there tomorrow what wheels to choose.

ive spoken to alot of ppl about the 20s i have for my car

they have 245s on em atm

eveyone has told me to get them widened and put 285s

you would only be able to do this if yours rims are 3 peice though

i think 235s are too small so go the 19s unless the 20s are 3 peice

the 255's are on the 19s and 235's are on the 20s, i dont think they are 3 peice but ill find out tomorrow, i think the better option is to get 20s for show and a seperate set of 16s with slicks on for the creek

Can anyone help on what size offset and PCDs I'll need for a Skyline R33?

I'm looking at buying a set of 17" Buddy Club P1 Wheels and I'm abit stuck on measurements and stuff I need?

Give me a hand plz someone.

your PCD is 5-114.3

GTR's require dish.

To late for a refund? :P

gtrs do look good with a deep dish, but unfortunaly in 20s you cant get a really deep dish wheel. will take some pics and see how i go, if it doesnt look good, will have to buy another set of 20s that have at least a little dish if not a big one

wreckedhead, those 20" wheels are pretty much rice wheels since they have 235 rubber. They are more show than go. I'd say stick with your old rims, or go the 19s. If you wanna go 20, get something decent. I'd say with at least 255 or 265 rubber. Also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. 20s for cheap? must be poor quality and really heavy. Something typical of tempetyres wheels, cheap and nasty.

actually the rubber is 245, which is standard on r34 gtr's, and you cant fit anything bigger under the normal gtr gaurds as im about 3mm from scraping metal. also i like your comment about you get what you paid for, there might be a differnce between my cheap and your cheap.

but just so you know they arnt heavy and they a tempe tyre special wheel.

with my 20s atm they are 245 and everyone i have spoke to have told me i can fit 285 and that i shouldnt go any smaller

these guys are speaking from experience as well so its not guess work you just need the right offset

im getting new outers made for my rims to push them out to 285 on the rear ill probably stay 245 on the front

heres a pic of my rims ;)

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
