Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[Manuel Kasko]

Just did a google and found your picture hectic.

They look exactly how I want it to.

No more questions from me I am going 9+27

I would have thought you would have scrubbing issues on fronts. I could be wrong though.

I've seen TE37s this size on a 34 gtr, would that sizing clearance be the same for different style wheels? And would coil overs also effect the clearance?

wasn't that hard now was it

I've seen TE37s this size on a 34 gtr, would that sizing clearance be the same for different style wheels? And would coil overs also effect the clearance?

The only difference between 2 wheels of the same offset and size would be dependent on the style of rim - whether it clears the brakes. I have a friend who has 8 pots on the front, and VERY few rims fit because of the clearance needed. He has Te37s and Lmgt4s or whatever sitting in his garage that he had on beforehand that won't fit now cause of his brakes - this is very rare though, and it is only because his brakes are $15000 to keep up with his 1000hp rb3.15.

And I wouldn't have thought coils would affect the clearance too much as a low offset like that should be pushing the rim out fairly far. I don't own a 34 GTR though so I am not the expert to be talking to.

Have a look at this and judge for yourself: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=245&aspect=40&diameter=18&wheelwidth=9&offset=30&width2=255&aspect2=40&diameter2=19&wheelwidth2=10.5&offset2=22&Submit=Submit

Pretty sure GTR rims are 18x9+30 (not 100% sure).. If we assume you have safe fitment tyres, say 245/40, and slap some stretch on the 10.5s, say 255/40, you can see in the picture the new rims are going to sit 27mm further out (poke) but also 11mm in further (inset) which I would have thought would be easily enough clearance inside the guards.

Looking at some starcorps for my R32 GTST, 18x8.8 and 18x9.5 +38, will these fit a moderately low 32 GTST with no guard work? If not what guard work would need to be done?

I would find it hard to think 9.5+38 would not have scrubbing issues on the inside of the wheel (suspension, arms, etc) Not sure about 32's though.

And 18x8.8? May want to revise measurements.

[Phil86]

Sorry 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 +38.

So you think they'll hit suspension arms and/or coilsovers?

I can't be too sure, I have only really been doing research on 34s, and to a lesser extent, 33s because the gap is much the same.

What kind of rims are you running at the moment? Based on the 34 stock rims, if I slapped those rims on my car it would most definatly rub on the rears, they are sitting 30mm further INSIDE the guards, closer to the suspension then stock rims. The sizes you have seem ok, I would just revise the offset.

A guard roll will only set you back $100, and it is worth getting. I will do some research and see what I can find for you.

EDIT: After researching a bit on 32s, yours will fit fine. Rears will be close to hicas on rears, and it if it is too low you will need to lip the guards.

Such poor offsets on 32s..

Just running stock GTST rims ATM, guy I'm buying em off had em on a 32 so should be sweet. I'll let you know how I go

[Autumn33]

15x10 -26 Superlites 205/50 all round

not the best pictures but once its going again ill get it out and take better ones

I realise not everyone will like it but I do haha

Dude that is sex. Very JDM.

Who gives a f**k if no one likes it. Haters gonna hate!

[boiracer]

def need some more pics, very interested as to how it looks.

I'm getting everything engineered on my r32 gtst and I got knocked back due to my rims being outside the guards, the engineer said all I need to do is roll my guards. I was planning on new rims in about 6 months but I thought I might as well get them now an get them engineered too.

I've been looking at work xt7s 18s @ 7.5 wide fronts an 8.5 rear as well as 18 inch rota grids with a similar width front an back. White or bronze, haven't decided yet

I don't know much about wheel offsets and my current rims don't have any info stamped on them. My question is what offsets would make them fit nicely within the guards? Paint is only 2 months old and I'm not too keen about rolling the guards just in case it cracks the paint..

Any advice would be appreciated as I said I don't know much about this subject and I'm doing lots of research

[simpletool]

7.5" wide? That is pretty skinny, even for a 32GTST. I'd go 8.5" +30 if you want a safe fit.

I'm looking to go on R33 GTST.

9" +27 front 235/40/18

10" +30 rear 265/35/18

if your goign to roll guards, id be going 9" minimum

[Saroon]

Engineer wont certify anything over 8.5" wide on a gtst. He doesn't care about the diamteter of the rim just the width, something about modifying the track width +/- 25mm

[sydking]

Why are you getting wheels engineered? If anything i though it was within 2" diamiter of stock size and that is OK.

I can understand if you were tryign to put 22" rims on, But really, what needs to be engineered with 9" wide wheels.

seems odd.

2 inche is right, but the stock R32 Gts-t rims were 16x6.5 inches. R32 GTR rims were 16x7, cause it isnt a GTR I cannot get away with putting 9s on and still be within RTA's guidelines and get the engineering cert.

I thought if im going to the trouble of getting a couple of things engineered for blueslip i might as well get everything done, won't cost me much extra and it'll protect me from defects. Trying to do things the right way. The amount of hoops i have to jump through though lol

That would be a safe fitment. Nothing too outlandish, and sortaflush.

correction gtst stock rims are 16x6, my bad.
