Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[dezz]

Anyone able to tell me how 18x9.5 +22 front and rear would go on a 32 GTS-4?

If anyone's running that or similar on their 32, what tire sizes are you running and how much work if any was needed on the guards?

Hi

Been quoted for the following just want to know how it will sit in the guards:

Lenso D1R silver

18"

8.5" Front + 35 offset

9" Rear + 32 offset

On an R33 GTST

Thanks

wont look good but what look you after?

I have 19's ATM that sit flush with the guards but I want to downsize. Like how mine sit flush atm but know nothing about offsets other then the basics lol

[pistol-pete]

if you know the offsets of your current rims, go here http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and it will tell you how the other rims will sit relative to your current ones

i think flush is 9+30ish for front and rear is 9.5 +15ish i believe.

[89CAL]

Hmm not sure of current offset might check it out another day

If +30 is flush for 9's then I dont mind if they sit 5mm in the guard if that's true lol

Found a photo of a 33 with D1R's at 18 x 9 +32 which look fine

Used that tool suggested above and seems the 8.5's will sit 10mm further in the guards....

Thats not to bad I guess unless I just get 9's all round

Thought there was a difference between the position of the front and rear hub, but I guess not. Theres a fair few people running Identical wheels front and back that look fine

Thanks for that tool pistol-pete, good enough to work out from the photo i found how it will look

might find the offset for my wheels and check out comparison for them to when i find the time

[alr33x]

yeh you can go larger in the back easy, i personally would be going lower offsets but as long as you like the look.

Any1 with an R33 Gtst rolling on 18x10 +22 (rear) and 18x9 +15 (front) or there abouts care to post up some pics please?

[alr33x]

look for my car 18x10 + 20 rear

front is 18x9.5 +15 w/ +25mm front fenders or look for hamish (joeyjoeyjoe's) car he is similar specs to what yo are after.

to answer your question is yes it will fit, yes you will need to roll and probably pull fronts a bit yes will look good

[chocco]

cheers bloke, found the pics and looks nuts.

I have D1R in 18x9+32...they sit flush at front, but the back could be spaced out about 15mm or so...might be worth going 9.5 in the rear? I'm going to buy spacers for the rear. Doesn't look bad as it is though, unless you're one of those hella flush people who have to have to have the guard rubbing tyre before it is considered cool

Will need to roll guards if you're sitting lowish though...I kept scraping when cornering.

Hey everyone,

Looking at ROTA G-Force 18x9 5x114.3 wheels in gunmetal

Would a +27 offset fit? I was recommended by ROTA for the +27s, but i was told by tyrepower that my guards would need to be rolled with +27s, and that i should stick with something from a +30 to +40 offset, so i was initially going to go for the +35 offset on those ROTA's

Anybody know which fits better?

Thanks everyone

Hi Guys, I have read a fair bit of this topic but am still struggling to figure out what offset etc to get. I want to get a set of TE37's in 18's for my R33gtst. It only has coilovers and isnt crazy low and I dont want to roll the guards or anything like that. What would be the best width and offset for the front and back? I know it depends on what sort of look you want as well , i just want something that sits neat in the guard if you know what I mean. Thanks for the help.

Roll the guards - it doesn't hurt in anyway. You can go 9" front and 10" at the back +30 to 39 for both front and back which would be fine

27s are fine you might need to roll your guards but thats no big deal. back i wouldnt think need rolling depending on your ride hieght you can go much lower offsets too.

look for dezz he had te's on his 33 and try find sizes they sat exactlty as your asking but i dunno what specs or pm him .. either way. id suggest something along th lines of 9+30 (f) and 9.5 +15 ® should be safe could go slight higher if offfset if your worried like +35 front and +20/25 rear

Thanks guys much appreciated. I'll post what what I end up getting which may be awhile becuase I want TE37's in black which are proving to be hard to get unless I order them brand new. Thanks again

[GT32]

Vehicle: 1992 HCR32 GTS-t

Wheels: Work Emotion XD9

Sizes: 18x9+20 front and 18x10+18 rear

Tyres: Bridgestone Potenza GIII's 235/40/18 fronts and 245/40/18 rears (minimal stretch)

Guard modifications: Fronts - mean fitment/no rubbing, rears - rubbed shitloads until we rolled and flared the rear guards. now barely ever rubs unless i go over a big bump on the road at over 70-80kms

Height: Slightly above legal limit

Comments: Front didn't change much in terms of camber etc but rears cambered in a little and produced a bit of toe-in once we dropped the jack. never got around to buying a camber/toe adjustment kit but it didn't feel like it affected the cars handling very much so i didn't bother.
