Rims - dish, diameter and width

[someonestolecc]

Hello,

Just looking for some wheels to buy.

Want to have some nice white wheels - perhaps rays te37 or enkei wrc tarmac forged.

Just wondering what people think of width and diameter.

I was thinking something like deep dish 18" by 8 or 19" by 8 wearing around 245s or 235s with low pro tyres probably about 30 or 40 thou.

I'd have another set with less crazy "show" value for drift etc.

With a bit of camber etc would you guys expect me to get rub on a lowered r32 (sitting on coilovers for example)?

Also I read an article about handling on these forums I think and I remember that it said because the skyline is 50/50 weight destribution the tyres back and front should be the same.

Do you guys think these tyre/wheel choices are reasonable - or will I be unable to do some things with them?

This will offcourse be street/light track dutues.

Also - what size would the wheels be on these two cars.. 18" or 19"?

Red car = 19" 9" width with 245s 30thou

Wht car = 18 or 17" 8.5 with 245s 40 tho

Does that sound about right?

Last question - How do you measure dish?

Cheers guys appreciate it. Also should note someone posted these pics before so I they ain't to my credit

If your looking for an inexpensive set of 18 inch deep dish wheels, check out the Manaray Sport Vertec VR5 Quest.

Ive got these on my 32 and they look awesome. 8.5 inch rims on the rear have 3.5 inches of dish! (Measuring it is simple, get a ruler out and place it on the dish section of the rim).

My local wheel bloke quoted me $1550 for 4 rims without rubber. Relatively cheap compared to Volks

You may also find the same rim rebadged as a DTM.

Mine actually scrub when i go hard into some corners, which im going to fix when I can afford a new set of Teins. My current Apexi springs are way too low at the front in particular which is causing it. Im sure a reasonably lowered car could get away without tyre rubbing.

Sweet will checkem out.

Thanks for the info - with the dish measuring where do you measure from?

dish section to... the edge of the guard? from the axle (where the brakes are)?

They do look great - Do you know how much they weigh?

Also what tyres do you wear on them? 8.5 so about 235s?

My friend has 225s on his. Are ok but I think with 235 or 245 it would handle better but I'm worried 245 = too big for drift without a really done up engine.

Any ideas about that?

Also final question - got a pic of your car with those rims?
