Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[Adz2332]

cheers mate/ just trying to work out what to do with the rear gaurds at the mo

[ppham92]

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.

Fuuuulleeeey seeeek.

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

So the wheels won't stick outside the guards without additional negative camber? Got pictures?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I have posted my old car in here many many times with 235/40/18 positive camber bushes and lows on 9.5+12's

Ric's car is same but +22

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Had to pull the guards a little but no flare. Remove the camber bushes and it's an easy fit

So wheels stick outside guards.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I never said they didn't

If you want to run 235 tyres, why not get x8 wheels?

x9.5 deserve 255 to 275 tyres

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I guess the decision was based mainly around not wanting 8" wheels

[KiwiRS4T]

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.

[WMDC35]

In NZ LTSA list 235/40 for 8-9.5, as do most manufacturers, depends how much stretch you want or need

If the wheels stick outside the guards, they don't really "fit" do they?

Up to CarterIvy if he/she wants to get points with stance nation and/or the Police or not.
