Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a set of Work Meister S13P wheels in 18x9 front & 18x10 rear, +18 offset all round for my R34 sedan.

Currently I'm running R33 GTR wheels 17x9 +30, all wrapped in 235/45/17, lowered with bc coilovers and guards rolled on all four corners. All guard liners are removed and sits low enough without any rubbing on full lock or while driving. I have 15mm spacers on the fronts and 20mm spacers on the rears so effectively I run +15 and +10 offset on the front and rear respectively.

I plan to run 235/40/18's on them. Just wanted to know if these would fit without rubbing/clears brakes & coilovers, before I go ahead and buy them.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

Here's how it looks now:

Hey guys, after countless hours reading other peoples setups I picked up some wheels today 18x9.5 +23 on all four. After test fitting them they seem to poke out alot more than I expected. Can anyone tell me if they'll tuck inside the guards? Car is a series 2 GTST.

Thanks!

You got essentially 'GT-R' sized wheels, of course they'll sit like that.

You can either sell them and get wheels that'll fit in the guards (highly unlikely), or, you can get adjustable upper arms, get a thin tyre, like 225 or 215 or something stretched onto wheels that'll normally take 265 wide tyres, roll/pump the guards, wind the arms so you get negative camber and make them fit.

I have BNR34 Gtr ride Goode no rubing

Skyline model = R34 GTR

Wheel brand: Enkei rs05rr

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width =10.5 all around

Wheel offset = +15

Tyre size =. Toyo R888 275/35/18 all around

Modifications to fit = how ever I did roll out rear and front fenders

You don't need to do any of that.

18x9.5+23 will fit with just a guard roll and 235/40's

Lets put it another way minimum legal tyre on 9.5 rim is 245 so really the answer for the OP is have a think before you "pick up" some wheels and consider whether they will actually fir you car. Alternatively you will have to do what it takes to extend your guards.

ADR's are a blanket rule and that applies to 40/18 only. They differ in other diameters

235/40/18 on 18x9.5" is within manufacturer specs for many tyres including what I ran.

If you were that concerned with ADR's you wouldn't have 18x9.5" rims on a gtst in the first place.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
