according to my notes 9.5 +20 with 235 fronts and 265 rears ?

that's 18x9.5+25 with 235/40/18 all round

Heyas,

Keen on a set of DTM Racing P5 wheels.

I want them in 18x9 or 18x8.5 . They have +25 and +35 offset available.

They're for my 1998 R34 GT-T. Before i go and confirm the purchase it would be awesome if people had thoughts on whether i would have ANY problems or fitment issues with either.

Thanks in advance!

i have 18x8.5 +25 fronts and 18x9.5 +30 rears. thats what it looks like no scrubbing unless going updriveway on fulllock.

It goes pretty quickly. Mine only took 6 weeks.

almost any wheel worth having you have to wait for, unless you want some ozzy tyres specials they are off the shelf ready complete with +54 offset.

yes rolled slightly.

What's the lowest offset I can go on a series 2 r 33 with 15s that will fit over the calipers? So I can fit drag tyres

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Depends on the wheel construction and also wheel width

Offset only affects caliper clearance on some rims so no way you can give an accurate answer

[Adz2332]

ah ok fair enough thanks....

im looking at just some cheap ass steelies to mount some drag slicks on. theres a pair with zero offset

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

try thinking of it this way.

the face of the rim remains static and the offset affects where the barrel sits

the exception is some rims like say drifteks for example where they make 1 cast then remove material from the back and boltholes dependant on offset requirements

to answer your q on types available, i'd suggest the motorsport section in drag n drift

I've got Lenso D1r 9J x 18s. Will it fit 265s? 34 GTT btw

[colourclassic]

Yes they will fit, will probably need rolled guards. 265 are a bit large for a 9" rim. Go 235/40R18.

^265/35/18 on R34 GT-R wheel. Yep, 265 is way to big for 9" wide, even 235 is muffin. Get 185 wide tyres.

yes, however cant tell you if it will fot on the car without knowing the offset... as they are lenso's i'll assume +30ish and say they will fit fine

265 is big for a 9" wheel I doubt he needs a 265 for his application

[niZmO_Man]

You do realise that those are my old BNR34 wheels and I got 265 wide tyres fitted. How is that too big?
