Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[luke gtr]

Skyline model = BNR32

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width =8"F 9"R

Wheel offset =18mmF 35mmR* pretty sure

Tyre size =235/40R18 265/35R18

Modifications to fit = NONE

[nisskid]

All these with around -2 camber

Skyline model = R32 GTS-t

Fronts:

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +30

Tyre size = 235/45

Modifications to fit = none really, lip sat a few mm out of the top of the stock guards, although with lower or weaker suspension they may have scraped a bit, also was only just missing the upper control arm, any lower offset or bigger tire and it probably would have started fouling.

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8.5"

Wheel offset = +30

Tyre size = 215

Modifications to fit = none, sits a few mm in on the stock guards

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = +30

Tyre size = 235

Modifications to fit = none, sat inside the stock guards

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8.5"

Wheel offset = +15

Tyre size = 225

Modifications to fit = lip stuck out of stock guard by about 15mm, guard rolled and pulled about 5-10mm

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +16

Tyre size = 225/45, 235/45

Modifications to fit = sits out about 20mm from stock guard, no scrapage with 225's and running the -2 camber, probably would need some flaring if lower, had less camber and with the 235's.

Rear:

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +38

Tyre size = 255/45, 235/45, 225/45

Modifications to fit = lip stuck out of stock guards by about 5mm, with the 255 tires it needed the guard to be rolled, with 235 and 225 none needed

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +30

Tyre size = 235/45

Modifications to fit = lip sat out of stock gaurds by about 5-8mm, rolled guards as there was a bit of scrapage on stock guards

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +35

Tyre size = 235/45

Modifications to fit = as above there was minor scrapage so guards needed rolled.

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +38

Tyre size = 225/45

Modifications to fit = none, sat in the stock guard a few mm

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +30

Tyre size = 255/45

Modifications to fit = sat out from stock guard about 15mm, guard rolling as a minimum needed, maybe a bit of pulling or flaring for comfortable fit

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +22

Tyre size = 255/45

Modifications to fit = sat out about 30mm from stock guard, would need at least some flaring.

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +16

Tyre size = 215/45, 235/45

Modifications to fit = sits out about 25mm from stock guard, snuck under the 215/45's under with just a roll and running the -2 camber, would need at least some flaring with lower camber and 235's.

a few more but that'll do for now.

Have a bit of a question, looking at getting some 9.5' 17's for the rear and 8.5 17's for the front. Bothe with a + offset of 40

Now from this thread the rears and fronts should be ok offset wise. But when I measured the rear of the car yesterday, it looks like the rears will be something like .3cm to .5cm away from the hicas control arm, if I saw it correctly. Has anyone fitted 17's which are 9.5' wide on a 32 with hicas with that particular offset and had any issues?

Or nisskid did you have any issues? since it looks like you had 9.5's with a 38 offset on your 4dr 32. Did it have hicas?

[nisskid]

+40 on a 17x8.5" wheel will not fit on the front, the closest ive got my front wheel to the upper control arm was 17x9" +30which was only a few mm away from touching the upper control arm, which is about the equivalent (inner clearance wise) of a 17x8.5 +36. now u could try but id say u will foul on the upper control arm, especially if u run anything above a 225/45 on it.

on the rear ur tie rod becomes the issue, and it will start to foul on a 17" wheel at around 9.5" +40 depending on design and a few other things. closest ive got to the tie rod was my 9.5 +38's which were only a few mm away from fouling on it. btw when i say tie rod im talking about what u were referring to as the HICAS.

if u want to run a 17x9.5 on the rear ur best bet is with going for a offset around +35, this will mean u might have to roll ur guards, but its better than it fouling on the tie rod. as for the front ull need to go for around a +35 offset if u want to run 17x8.5's on the front, personally id go for a +30 offset as it fills out the guard nicer and most likely still wont rub on ur gaurds (depending on ride height, camber, tire tread/profile etc etc)

Does anyone have Koya Drift Teks on their R34 or even R33.

I'm looking at 17x8 (front) +30 & 17x9 +35 (rear)..

Will these fit and also I'm a bit worried about clearing the calipers too..

Edited October 8, 2007 by so_tred

[nisskid]

are u sure its 17x8 +30? pretty sure drift teks only came in a 17x8 +34. anyways, in relation to ur guards u wont have any issues, rears will come up and sit near the guards but u shouldnt have any scrubbing issues, the fronts will sit in a fair way. as far as brake clearance the drift teks use a design which is usually pretty good for clearing big brakes, i know they clear r32 gts-t m-spec brakes which i believe are pretty similar to r33 brakes, also i think i remember someone running them on their GTR which didnt use spacers i believe.

[so_tred]

Yeah, I thought they only came in +34 too, but I'm thinking now they might come in a couple of different offsets cause another friend has +38 on either 8" or 9" (can't remember which one..)

anyway, the guy I'm buying them off is gonna put them on right then and there and if there's any issues I get a refund so hopefully should be all good..

[xanavinismo]

If an R34 GTR was slightly lowered would 19x10, offset+15, Rays RE30 (L2 type) rims with 275/30 tyres fit without any rolling/lipping needed to the guards? Or would some minor work need to be done?

[gotRICE?]

Im having alot of issues with wheel choice!

Iv come down to a set of 17x8 and 17x9 Wedsport SA-90's for my R33 S2 25-t.

They dont come in alot of offsets and i was wondering if anyone could advise me on what to get?

I was thinking +35 for the rear, and +25 for the front.. does anyone know if this will actually work?

Would i be better off going for +35 on the front too or whaaa?

in 9" you can only get +35 and +20.. so limited for choice there!

and 8" you can get +25, +35 and +42.. hmmm

[phenline]

would + 42 on a 17x8 inch rim fit the front of my skylines r33 with 235 tires and the rears where 255 tires and 17x9 +35

[KURAUN]

all good found out they wont

[LoNg_ShaNks]

Can some1 pls tell me the standard offset for my R32 GTS (non turbo, 1989, 4 stud):

the tyres i currently have on it are 205/60 R15 and im hoping to go 235/40 R18

but i need to know my offset so i can confirm they will fit & not waste my time, thanks in advance.

just an FYI i really dislike the fact they chose 4 stud when designing this model of skyline, pain in the friggin ass!!!

[Topaz]

Fit like a dream on my 32GTR with slightly lowered suspension, no guard rolling was done and no rubbing at full lock either.

Rims = 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+ (Try to stay away from 21mm lugs, you will scratch the inside of the rim )

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +22

Tyre size = 245/40 (255's will fit)

Thats all round as well.

Hey guys, are any of you real familiar with the ER34 GTT 2 door wheel specs?

I'm looking to buy the Racing Hart CXR's..

Front 19 x 8.5 +35 (I want them streched so I'm guessing 225's?)

Rear 19 x 9.5 +38 (same as above so I'm guessing 255's?)

Is it possible to go 10 or 10.5 on the rear?

I have no idea what else needs to be done so far as lowering and/or rolling as well.

Many thanks from S.Korea!

1997 R33 GTST with some R34GTR Rims

Standard suspension as far as I know.

R34GTR Wheel:

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +30?

Tyre size = 265/35/18 all round

Does not rub at front with 265s on full lock but I removed the plastic card crap that stops mud/rocks flinging forward towards the front bar. The rear tyres are hitting the guard over dips in the road.. so I am going to roll the guards

I want that so bad! But shit peopel ask a premium for 34GTR wheels!

Looks good man. Maybe add a bit of camber th the rear, help with clearance?

the question is, do u really need to go 10 or 10.5? depends what tire u want to run, but theres no point trying to fit a bigger wheel under if ur not going to use the extra width. u should be able to get a 10" wheel under, and probably a 10.5" but unfortunately i dont know what the inner clearance is like for the 34 gtt, to fit a 10.5" where u wanted the 9.5's to sit ur probably going to go up near the +50 offset mark, or if ur willing to give ur guards a roll and stretch the tire a bit u could go for a +35ish offset, either way ur not going to have much inner clearance for anything that u might knock under there.

standard offset is around +45 i beleive and the width is around 6"

if u wanted to go 235 u should go at least a +30 offset imo, otherwise ur pushing it close to the upper control arm in the 32.

I think i've posted this link about 100 times or so in this section. But it's a very useful link.

http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html

Use this to enter the offset and width of you current wheels, then input offsets of wheels you will like to buy and it'll tell you how far it'll stick out compared to your old rims, and how much clearance you'll have with the strut housing.

(maybe sk you should add this to the top post)

hi everybody,

i need great help here,i recently bought some wheels off Z33 and trying to fit them to a r33 series II,ive heard that wheels are 350z touring wheels.i tried to fit them into my car and it was ok when its on the jack and when i droped the jack the uper arm(gusess technically right) touches the tyre and cant roll the tyre.i havent lowered the car either.heard that this is something do with camber.ill mention my cars and tyre details below please advise me regarding this

350Z 18'' touring mag wheels with 225/40/18 tyres

More detail on the rims would be useful (picture is not) but according to:

http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/350Z_OEM_Wheel_Specifications

the dimensions are:

Size: 18x8.0

Offset: +30mm

According to another post on this forum, stock wheels on 33GTST are:

Size: 16x6.5

Offset: +40mm

Finally, according to the link you posted, based on these dimensions:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 9mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 29mm
