Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

Yeah it does. You can have bigger than 18in. They will have to be skinny and sit well into the guards.

I wasnt after a rough answer though id like to know what i can fit with stock gaurds... wat offset and width in an 18, what offset and width in a 19. not just "you can have big if you get skinny"

well atm ive got 18x8 +38 and 18x9 +38 fronts are much more sunken then the rears.

i've been told 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5+35 will be pretty much in line with guards and should fit without guard work

so i guess anything from +30 - +40 should be fine with the widths of 8-8.5 front and 9-9.5 rears.

i'm no expert but this is what ive found just searching around

so im assuming i couldnt get anything over an 18"

i was answering this, i was explaining that you can go over 18" and what ud have to do to go over 18"

if u'd read what i and many others have posted ud realise it isnt as simple as us telling u an exact offset and width, this is what im trying to explain. if you want to know what other people have used and got away with then read the rest of the thread, that is what it's for.

I have 18 x 9.5 +27 for the rear and trial fitting suggested that they would be ~12-15mm outside the standard guard. I think those will be an extra 1/2" further out of the stock guards unless you are running an incredible amount of camber.

hey mate fronts are easy, rears are a bit harder, can be done with a stretched tyre and at least a guard roll, maybe a flare. put simply, u can make them fit.

thanks again

I purchased some 18x9.5 with +20 offset (all round) for my 33 gtst knowing they wouldnt fit, so I made them fit.

With a bit of a "mild flare" they now sit nicley on the car with no rubbing.

u will need to at least roll ur guards and u will need to stretch tyres on them, at least a 235/40.

this is a 18x10 +18 on a R34 sedan:

its hard to tell when ur playing with fairly tight tolerances like we are here, expect the wheels to stick out a decent way, but the tyres will stretch in nicely and hopefully clear. but it will depend on ur suspension and camber.

Skyline model = R32 GTS-t

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9f 10r

Wheel offset = +15f +25r

Tyre size = 225/45f 245/40

Modifications to fit = We'll see when they get here :wave: Bring on the fender roller.

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
