Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

What are the chances of me getting a 18x10.5 +15 with 265 tyre on the back of my 33 GTS-t ? Guard is rolled with about -2 camber

Shit that'd be close. It would certainly poke a fair bit... With the camber and rolling, I reckon you would get away with it. I'm going 10.5+30 on my rears, no camber, guards rolled and it should sit perfectly on 255s. Pics up when you slam them on, that'll look hot!

it will stick out a fair bit even with guard rolling and -2 camber

My guess is like 15mm before camber.. Don't know how much the camber will run off, but you may need flaring of the guards.

I am running 9.5 +15 with 265's on the rear with -1.5 to -2 camber, and it is just flush, just.

10.5 will extend on that an extra 13mm.

See, I was close

PICS! That sounds mean!

Hey guys,need to know if 18x9.5 +30 with 265s all round will fit R33 GTST? Any mods?

Thanks

You may struggle on the front with such a wide tyre, depends on your ride height and alignment specs.

Drop to a 245 or something, will be a bit easier. A guard roll all round won't hurt

[AAARGH 33]

Ah cheers,yeah I was thinking that might be the case.My car is lowered and I'm getting scrubbing with my current 18x8.5 as it is

[kaitoukid]

Need some advice on spacers brahs!

Would like to see them being more flush and all that fun stuff. Noting yes, it is 4x4 height now, but I just need some spare time to chuck the coilovers in. Then loooow <3.

Edit: Noting car is an R34, wheels are 17s, not sure on offset tbh, been meaning to try and have a closer look but always forget

Fronts:

Rears:

-

Both:

As you can see they are too sunken in, sadly. Ideally I don't want to do any guard work at all - or if so, minimal. I'm not after super aggressive poke etc (don't even want poke, just don't want sunken!). Noting I'm not too in-the-know with this stuff; so if there's any other issues (i.e. "going low and spacers will not work because _____" please let me know LOL).

Thanks in advance

Skyline model = R33 GTS25T S2

Wheel diameter = 18'

Wheel width = 9' rear 8.5' front

Wheel offset = r +35 f 35

Tyre size = r 265 f 235

Modifications to fit = removed inner fender guards in front and slight fender rolling

Hi guys - looking at getting 17x8 +22 front and 17x9 +27 rears for my sightly lowered r32 gtst, any ideas if they'll fit fine? Can't test fit because the wheels arent close by

Tyres are 225/45/17 fronts and 235/45/17 rear - and its a type - M so bigger calipers I think?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah as previous said, drop to a smaller width tyre. May need to remove front liner to reduce scrubbing, but will EASILY fit in the rears. Won't poke much on the fronts, and will sit inset in the rears.

When I bought spacers, I just lowered mine to the low that it would ideally sit at, then measured from the tyre -> guard. That worked well for me, I was about 5mm out. Make sure you don't get spacers, as in metal that sits in between your rim and disk, but get the-- I think they are called hub centralisers or some bullshit, but basically it bolts on to your existing bolts, then you bolt the rim off that. If you want perfect flush, you need to find out what offset your rim is. And I think the perfect flush fitment for an r34 is 9.5+27, and that can transpose to 10.5+40, 8.5+14, etc etc. Then just use your rims offset and add the spacer in to make it perfect flush using before meantioned offsets.. Note: When car is jacked up, it will poke A LOT, but once you lower it, it will be ok Now many people will tell you spacers are bad and all that shit. I have been running for 6 months, and I know people who have been running for 3+ years and had no issues ever. Just don't get shit quality ones, and you should be ok. And I suggest if you want flush, you roll all your guards. You are looking at about $100 for the car done, and if done properly, you will have no paint damage. Any further issues, just give me a buzz.

*bump* the guy's gonna sell the wheels to someone else any 32 gtst guys out there?

I own a 34, and because 33's are close, I can give advice. If I was you I would go through the thread yourself. Not hard, and you can make the decisions yourself, and you get to learn more.

I actually went over around 30+ pages, i'll try the rest :<

[Autumn33]

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

Finally was able to get it out of the garage for a bit today so took some pics

wheel specs again are: Superlites 15x10 -26 all round, 205/50 on the rear & 195/50 up front

[Happy Seal]

18x10.5 +15. . . 275/35/18 all the way around. . .BFG KDW2. . .slight rubbing at full lock. . .

Next year is more low and a wider wheel. . .

Hey mate, thanks for the reply

Finally had a day free yesterday and chucked in the coilovers, nice and low now (although will be lowering fronts a bit more even ). Yeah I've heard to avoid slip on spacers like the plague, lol.

Cheers for the info, will probably go down this route of just measuring now to figure out spacer size (any suggestions for not-shit-quality brands?). Yeah will probably have to look to getting guards rolled... as well as maybe some camber arms... just lowering it gave it some angle LOL. Now to wait for funds...
