Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[Beelzebub89]

My prob is the wheels I wanted only came in a 18x10 with a +18 offset, so on a r32 gtr I'm worried that I won't get clearance runing a 265 and I don't want to mess with ride height. The tyres are gunna be KU36's and I'm planing to do the od trackday on them. Wat do you guys think?

I run those offsets on my car with minimal hassle. Slight rubbing with stock suspension and the guards hadn't been rolled. Now has bilsteins in it and guards rolled no scrubbing at all.

how rolled are your guards? mine have been rolled in the back, but there is a slight lip there still, prob 5mm, were the orignal lip has been bent back on itself, The guy before me was running 18x10 +22 with a 255, but KU36 dont come in a 255.

any chance you could give me the ride height your car sits at? from the centre of wheel to the guard? also do u have any extra camber in the rear or front?

cheers

you can get it rolled more by the sounds of things should be pretty much flat

[GTRsean]

Got some rotas, Craziest offset I've ever fitted.

Skyline model = R32 GT-R

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = 265 35 R18

Modifications to fit = roll lip on guards, bit of camber

Other wheels are nismo 400R wheels,

Skyline model = R32 GT-R

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +15

Tyre size = 265 35 R18

Modifications to fit = roll lip on guards

Pics of the Rotas:

bring the front down a bit more

One inch lower all round and that GT-R will have the look.

Love the look of the new Rota TE37 copies.

Right bit of an odd question guys, I've got a chance to get my hands on a set of Volk VSXX's, 17 x 8 up front and 17 x 9 on the arse. Going onto a HCR32, What offset/s will suit the car best.

Not interested in having them stick out, and if I can get away with it not rolling the guards. Just nice fitment without having to strech the tyres much or at all if possible.

[alr33x]

thats a contradiction you wont get nice fitment without guard work and good offset.

fitment is a fine line no inbetween its either fitment, sunken or mexican.

what offset are the rims your looking at?

btm - they arent te37 copies.. more like bee R b5 or drift teks..

[R32 DORI DORI]

This is the problem I have, Offset for those rims is currently unknown. They arnt in QLD and aparently no offset numbers are on the rims.

All I can tell you is thats theres only about an inch of dish (yeah not really dish but still...lol) and the mounting face isnt very 'deep' in the photos.

I can roll the guards if need be but I cant see these rims really needing it if the tyres are steched a small amount.

Other than those rims im looking at Work Emotion CR KAIs, 17 X 7.5 and I think they are +35

[alr33x]

:/

stay away from both. first off the vsxx sound fair fail. the CR KAI's are gayer than aids.

if you want fitment for a 32 i'd think you should be looking in the 9 + 20 range scroll through some of the back pages you will be able to get a good idea.

you wont have scrape issues with 8" or 7.5" rims they are like saw blades the biggest issue you will have is it wont look good just wait for some good rims with good offset come up do it once do it right

Don't bother with CR Kai's in that size. You wanna be looking at 17x9 +17 all round with 225/45R17's and a little camber. These will tuck with a decent ride height and guards rolled flat.

Should have made myself more clear. Not the ones he bought, but the new ones Rota have released

Drifteks are just copies of Nismo's and BeeRs

Would anyone have any knowledge of how 17x8+5 (fronts) 17x9+11 (rears) would go on a r32 gts-t. No guard work apart from slight rolling on rear guards. I know the width is fine im just worrying about the offsets.

[N-DAWG]

Hey guys, been doing a few searches but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for...

I've got 18x8's with 235/40/R18 KU31's at the moment.. not sure what offset.

I'm looking at fitting Lenso D1R HSPL's in staggered fitment and have been quoted as being R34 GTT Fitment:

17x8 +33mm Offset 235/45/17 KU36 Tyres

17x9 +35mm Offset 255/40/17 KU36 Tyres

Can someone confirm if this is correct.

Car is an R34 25GT Sedan with R33 4 Pot Brakes front and rear.

Thanks

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

they will fit, but you'd want to be going lower offset/wider rims ideally

They are mildish fitment but as the tyres will not be stretched at all, they should fill the guards with next to no camber. I personally would be looking at going wider on the wheels, but your best bet is to fit something similar up and see if they are the look you are after.

I would suggest a 225/45R17 on the front as it is the same diameter as the 255/40R17 and will also give the car a far more even look.

[N-DAWG]

Cheers for the help guys! I'm in Brisbane and the place I'll be getting these from is in NSW, so it's a bit hard to get a trial fit... I don't mind the staggered look, main concern is ensuring fitment with the Nissan 4 Pots and staying within the guards without any modifications.

R33 GTST

17x9 + 35 Front and Rear

235/45 Front and Rear

Coilovers (not crazy low) fitted. No mods to guards required. one of the fronts slightly scrubs sometimes on full lock. Rears look like they could sit out a bit further.... maybe 9.5 inch rim next time. Or +30 on the rear.

Would i have any clearence issues going to 255/40 tyres on the rear?

Also i think the circumference would change.....?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

sounds like it will be a touch mexican but nothing ridiculous. should come up good if you put the effort in

since you dont want to do guard work or have em pokin out stick with these.. wont look great but wont be complete shit, i was of the understanding 18x10 +22 is a good fit on the 34 guards? a guy on here has/had them.. hunt around a bit will be way nicer looking

none.

225/45R17 is actually the same size as 255/40R17.

235/45R17 is slightly taller etc.
