Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

I think heaps of people run +22 all around with little tyre. Might want to check front clearance before you go putting money down.

Can't seem to find +22 on their website?? Only have +38, +35 and +18

Bugger. How much tyre/camber/low are you planning on running?

+18 would easily fit the rear but im not sure what needs to be done to fit the front. Probably bit of camber and little tyre?

edit: Seems someone has answered you on facebook. I think he is right, probably better off going a staggered setup.

Yea got an answer for fitment on the rears, only problem is the only width Rota offers is 9.5 or 10's so can't go staggered fitment unless I get the normal Rota Grids but then I won't have the concave look the R's offer on the front.

Not planning on running any lower than it sits nowpost-34692-14078506335871_thumb.jpg

just run 9.5+18 all round

staggering is pointless and the front guards have heaps of room

will need to roll all 4 corners and remove the guard liners in the front.

front guards can literally be pulled to any spot they need to be and then moved back... just be sure to check front door and bonet clearance at the joins.

Hi all , new to the forum thought id start somewhere ,just got a new set of wheels and tyres fitted and had an issue or two

Skyline model = R33 GTST S2
Wheel diameter = 19"
Wheel width = 8.5 , 9.5
Wheel offset = +25 Rear, not sure of front they but sit inside guards
Tyre size = 235x35 , 245x35
Modifications to fit = roll rear lips ,car at standard height atm fitting coilovers soon , rears look like they might need camber fix to lower it, fronts will need inners removed to lower. Rolling cost $70 a side ,nice job too no cracked paint yet :yucky: ...will post photos when i work out how to do it ..

with that offset and those tyres you should be fine (ultimately depending on how much you lower it though).

Otherwise the rears will naturally get more camber as you lower it so it will fix itself anyway.

TE37: 18x9 +20 all round, 245x40's on the front and 275x40's on the rear.

What issues/modifications will I encounter?

Car is HNR32 (GTS4 sedan).

I think you may have some clearance problems with the rear tires being that wide but I'm not 100% sure (may have to roll guards). Can anyone confirm?

Im guessing this is a track car given the wide tires?

Cheers

Skyline model = r34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width =10"

Wheel offset = + 15

Tyre size = ?

Modifications to fit = ?

Will these rims be legal in WA as well ? I know with diameter you can go 2" higher or lower but what are the limits to width? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Skyline model = s2 r33
Wheel diameter = 17"
Wheel width =9"
Wheel offset = + 22 (or 25 cant remeber)
Tyre size = 235/40
Modifications to fit = none

Plenty of caliper clearance, no problems when turning. Will upload photo soon

no they wont be legal. 2 reasons

1st is they wont sit inside the guards.

2nd is that yes there is a limit to how much wider you can go from stock rim width and im sure a 10" rim is it. I remember checking one time if my 9.5 inch rims would be too wide and indeed they were. I think it is 1 inch wider or something boring like that. However you are unlikely to get any greif from this too much, the wheel outside the guard will be the one that gets you (as well as the high camber and stretched tyres to make it fit)

I'm looking at getting some rims for my r33 gtst.

17x9+35

17x10+25

I'm not sure if they'll fit. Cars lowerd on tien coilovers. If they fit what tire sizes are people running with these sizes. It's a daily driver any info would be appreciated.

front will be fine with a 245 or something and maybe pushing the guards back a bit.

rears will be a bit of fun. its going to sit outside the guards so you will need to roll the rear arches, put camber on it and probably also run a 245.

I hope that is the look you are going for...

Tyre size = 225/40 fronts, 245/45 rears
Modifications to fit = Guard roll all round, rears will be dropped down to 245/40 and camber arms installed

They are poking about 10mm fronts, less on rears as they are cambered in with natural lowering. Will get an alignment done and report back.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
