Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Steve you nailed it with fitment!

Should be putting in my order for the 18x9.5 + 22 rims this week or the next.

Cheers dude! I have to admit I was worried when I was selecting the fitment without test fitting anything, and buying them outright. But I was so glad when I saw they were almost 100% perfect!

Hope everything goes well for your car and fitment!

Has anyone ran 255 wide tyres on the front of their GTS-t ?

I'm currently running 275 rears and 245 front on R33 GT-R rims on my R33 boat. I honestly do not like any stretch (it's my OCD) and down the track just want to run 255 all round the car (tyres came with rims) for rotation etc..

I don't give a rats about hellaflush btw :)

I don't mind a bit of stretch when applied to the right car. You can't always just buy rims that aren't as wide because then you lose dish or the concave looks some people desire. That said, it looks so much better on an s-chassis than a skyline.

On the right car it suits. I think if I was running 265s on my 10.5s, it just wouldn't sit as nice. I don't see why there is need for discussion here - it all comes down to personal preference. If you don't like it, whatever. If you do like it, whatever. Everyone is going to have a separate opinion on the matter, but no one opinion is right. I dislike Work Meisters, I think they are disgusting looking rims. Doesn't mean someone else can't love them and put them on their car.

Hey all just have a quick question to ask. 18*10 is the rim size. Have two offset sizes to choose from and they are +40 and +22. What tire sizes can I run with each offset size with as little camber as possible and a guard roll? I want to run as wide a tire possible on the rears. Will these fit in the rear of an R33 gts-t with 275 tires? If so where will they sit using the guard as a reference? If no what will have to be done to make them fit? .

+40 will make the rim sit very far in, with big tyres it will most likely be rubbing on your suspension arms.

+22 will be fine for inner clearance, with removing the splash guards up front.

You will have to run camber front and rear, and will need a guard roll.

On the rear it will stick out with 275's unless you run a fair bit of camber, the fronts will be the same.

^ Yeah.

They are very weird offsets to have. You almost have both extremes on the scale, too far in and too far out. You would be better off running the +22 because the +40 will most definitely rub. Running 10's on the front will also present issues with turning on full lock in regards to the front liner. Your rims will sit around 10mm outside the guard on the fronts, and about 5mm on the rears. Decent fitment, but you will need to run camber up front and stretch the rears. :)

Thanks for the quick reply. you guys are the best!!!! :yes: The fronts are fine just the rears I am talking about the rears. The fronts are 235 40 18 +25 9 inch wide rim they will fit fine. Just the rears I wanted to know which offset I can run on the 10" rim to get the widest tire possible to fit with just a roll and minimal camber. What is the widest tire possible I can run on that wide a rim with those two offsets?

i had 9.5 +22 with 265's all round, and on the rear i had 7mm spacers, and with that it sat flush, although i was running a fair bit of camber on the back.

With no camber it would have stuck out. And you'll have to roll the guards.

I'd probably run 265's on the 10 +22, should fit easy with a guard roll. Also 265's are easy to come by

      Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.

      What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
