Thoughts on this size?

Rota Grids (concave version)

18x10 +35 offset

with 235-40-R18 and 245-40-R18 tyres

With the old tape measure there will be a bit of poke on the front, but im more concerned with what it might

touch under the arches!?!

^with the 235 tyres for the front

Cheers guys!

Anyone ever tried machining wheels to reduce the offset from say +22 to +27. This machining would be done on the inside hub where they would take out material to it. Koya Drift Teks and im willin to run a bit of a bigger tyre. If it doesnt work i guess ill have to sell and buy again.

it's possible as that's actually how drifteks are made from the factory, however you will also probably have to cut down the studs to suit.

It's also worth noting that the excess heat from the cutting will compromise the already compromised structural integrity of the rims

Heat shouldn't be an issue, as wheels and brakes do get very hot and Machining can be done slowly.

As joey said you will need shorter studs, or Wheel nuts with open ends. I had 6mm shaved off the front wheels of my beetle years ago....and didnt realise till I went to put them on, that the studs were now too long.

Let the machine shop/Enginbeer decide on how far they are willing to machine them.

Ok guys. Have gotten some Blitz Type 01 wheels in 17x9 with 22p offset. What would be the best width/height tyres to suit a R32 GTS-T standard guards? I believe 245-45 will fit the rears just, as there on atm (flush with the guards) but more concerned with the maximum width for the front, not fussed if the guard needs a little massage but don't want the insides to touch!

Also what tends to be the more popular sizes in 17 inch tyres?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
