Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

Hi, I need some advice on fitment.

Would it take a lot of work to fit something like F: 18x9.5 + 30 R:18x10 +30 to a 33 GTST?

Have Tein superstreets fitted.

Thanks for any help/advice you can give

will require guards rolled and slightly flared if the car is low. front liners will have to be removed.

the fronts will sit out 5mm less than this: (bearing in mind that i pulled the guards to exactly where i wanted them)

the rears will sit out 1mm more than this: (bearing in mind that i pulled the guards to exactly where i wanted them)

yes should be fairly ok, front might be slightly mexican but a good roll should fix that. back will be fairly easy with a roll only needed and maybe a 235 or 245 tyre depending how low your car is.

all gonna come down to car height on this one... i run fairly low, (320mm rear and 325) front so flaring was req'd with 235's and this is pretty much exactly the same

i've gone the less width way and more offset for the set i'm getting for my 33

they are 17x8 +5 on front and 17x9 +11 on rears.

currently they have 205/45r17s on front and 225/45r17 on rears. will see how they sit on stock guards with slightly lowered suspension but i'm thinking 215's atleast for front.

will update with picture i nthe next week ro so.

should be fine, maybe a little conservative if your going for flush look i think a few people are running 10" +22 but im not up with r34 fitment.

Think he means centre of wheel to guard. forgive my n00bness i dont know what that means still haha..

Hi guys,

I'm looking at some Tri spoke rims for my r33 gts-t. They're being sold without tyres. Basically, these are the specs:

17x9 20+ fronts

17x9 35+ rears

I know little about offset etc, but will these wheels suit my 33? Please bear in mind that the car is lowered slightly, but I do with to go lower down the track with coilovers etc.

well u'd want the higher offset rims on the fronts if anything and +35 9" wheels might scrubs on the inside if your low so test fit them first. 17x9 +20 should fit on the rears fine if you run a thin 235 or a 225 tyre.

    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
    • those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done 
    • Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
