Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[sleptema]

For now I think I'll leave it as is.

Only to test the waters and see if I get any attention for having them.

Also my funds have dried up a little haha

I think the law is 25mm outside the guards? Not too sure on that one, is just what I heard.

I haven't got any cop attention at all, had cops pull up next to me and behind me.

But yeah the more you lower your car the more camber it will naturally give it. Anyway it does look boss man - check out my pics a few pages back - black on black, same rims haha.

EDIT: I see you commented on a pic of my car saying it was perfect fitment haha.

▲ correct the rim can not stick out any more than 25mm from the guard otherwise it is a defect or defectable.

What have you guys done with those liners

Taken them out and relocated the hoses/wires?

Or something else ?

[Frosty]

taken out completely, you can move the wires/hoses close to the inner guard however i have never had an issue with it

[M@&k]

I saw in another thread on here where the guy rolled the front guard lip tight such that one of the tabs was holding the liner like a clamp. So basically kept the liners, and rolled tight. Not sure how robust that would be though.

Will see if i can find it again...

You can see in one of the photo's how they used the tab to hold in the liner. Personally I would prefer to keep my liners when I roll. This looks like an option, but would be keen to hear others thoughts too.

[Frosty]

in the pic below shows clearly that the tabs are not holding in the plastic guard liner (splash guard). Also looking at the pic seems it has a small flare pushing the guard out slightly

also this has not been rolled perfectly flat

What about if you pop rivet a 90degree metal flap that will enable you to screw onto the liners that would be fairly robust .

[Frosty]

it will more than likely dent your guard

Put new wheels on today,(17x9+22 enkei rpf1s) and have ran into a slight problem, regarding those plastic guard liners.

They scrap on corners that have either got a bit of a dip during the apex or slight elevation or while descending.

If i remove them completely, is it possible for the wheel to still hit the guard at all? Am i able to push the guard out at all to stop this happening?

It used to happen even with stock R33 wheels as well. Any info would be great.

[Frosty]

if it was happening on stock wheels it was likely you have an alignment issue or the car is too low? are you running coilovers? how bad is it hitting the guard liner?

[Grimesy]

Car had an alignment today, it was only slightly out.

The car is sitting on bilsteins and king springs, it isn't as low as others i have seen, i can stick my foot between the wheel and the guard. With the new wheels pretty easily, at slow speeds aka 50kmh, on the stockies it did it only on corners that had a really bad dip during the apex (only in the hills), when the G's would have been at there highest.

[Frosty]

yeah sounds like you have a lot of travel in the struts, but if its only hitting the splash guard take it out or chop it out where you need too

[Grimesy]

Thanks mate, might see if i can give the guards a bit of a pump to get that extra room aswell.

For Bryce.

[B-rice]

Awesome thanks bro and some R34 owners that want the real deal

Camber looks positive on the back.

What is it running?

[Manuel Kasko]

Oops double post

[Frosty]

yep pretty close to neautral by the looks of the pics

[sleptema]

Camber looks positive on the back.

What is it running?

Front -0.2 (closest they could get without camber arms..)

Rear is natural because of the drop, it's around -1.
