245/45

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.

hey all,

been approached by a friend to buy his rims..

SSR PROFESSORS,

18 x 9 +26 (F)

18 x 10.5 + 26 ®

what are the chances of these fitting on my R33 II gtst with a mild flare?

appreciate a reply on this as im rather keen on buying these wheels

cheers

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.

THIS WAS THE KIND OF ANSWER I WAS AFTER!! HAHAHA THANK YOU NISSKID YOUR A CHAMPION.

but on a serious note, like i said i am prepared to go a mild flare if necessary, just thought i would post to double check.

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.

Need some help here..Ive got a R34 Sedan and im about to buy a set of wheel. The size is 18 x 10 + 18.. My question is can they fit in my car??? Do i need to roll the guard or spacer or something??? The reason for buying those size wheel is because i want to go wide body.. THX

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:

Thanks stewy..so only need to roll the guard if the tyre are 235/40???

[nisskid]

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.

[sotck4door]

if it stick out thats fine as im planing to go wide body..i think as long as its driveble without problem i think i will be happy:)...thank you so much...

[nisskid]

the pics i posted above are of a member's car, luke_ENR34, he didnt have any scrapage issues afaik. but as i said it will vary depending on camber etc
