Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

Would 17x8 +28 with 255/40/17 tires fit on the front of a R32 GTS-T without rubbing the fender or impacting the suspension?

This question comes from an argument I had with a guy who claims it would be fine. However I want to be proven wrong.

I have a '98 R34 GT-T. 

I had some Rota Grid 18x9.5 +35 and 18x10.5 +35 with 235/40 tires. 

Fitment looked good but the fronts actually scrubbed on the inside suspension when turning too far. The 235's on the 10.5's were also a bit TOO stretched for my taste.

So I just installed some Work Emotion 11R 18x9.5 +20's all around and kept the 235/40 tires. The fitment looks perfectly flush with the rear fenders but sticks out considerably on the front. VERY aggressive but it DOES fit with stock fenders and doesn't scrub. Sticks out more than I was hoping but I do like it. I don't intend to roll unless I somehow end up scrubbing. I'm running stock GT-R shocks/struts.

Car definitely gets more looks now. :)

I always thought 265 or even a 275 would be perfect fit for a 10inch rear wheel.

I have just checked E63 AMG and Boxster S and they run 285 and 295 on a 9.5 rim....

I'm sure this has been beat to death but after searching and not having luck figured this would be the thread to ask my fitment question on.

 

Have a 91 r32 gtst

Trying to run 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35/18 on all 4 corners. Is this going to rub like crazy?

 

Current setup is as follows:                                   17x7 +47 215/45/17 and 15mm spacer up front. 17x8 +47 235/45/17 in back

Hi all

Just bought an r34 gtt. Currently has 18x9.5+22 front and back with 235 to the front 255 to the rear. Tyres are pzero but have 30 % tread left on them, so is basically undrivable in 1st-3rd with 300kw and 885nm.

I have hks coilovers lowered with about a 2 inch gap from guard to tyres. Guards are all rolled too. Currently the front scrubs but I think this is on the loose inner wheel plastic guard (so I don't think I could or would really want to go bigger than 235 as I would need some more camber or raise the car)

With the new tyres im thinking of buying, can I afford to go for a 265 or 275 on the rear or will a good quality 255 suffice?

When I ask can I afford to go, obviously anything is possible, but would anyone have a photo of this so I can see what it would look like?

Just got some new wheels for my car. TE37SL

18x8.5 +30 235 tyres

18x9.5 +40 265 tyres

Fronts are scrubbing if i corner hard and it's bumpy. Don't really wanna remove my guard liners. Might try roll guards.

Guys please assist. Wheels and I just do not get along. Someone are good at it, I am not!

My r32 gtr is lowered on hks hypermax coilovers. Currently sitting on 17's with a 225 tire.

I want to purchase te37's preferably 18inch and be able to fit a wider tire. Nothing insanely aggressive, but proper looking.

I want 18's because I will most likely be upgrading the calipers and need them to fit. the stock brakes are garbage. 

Also, no rubbing issues!

Please suggest. 

Thanks

 

I'm not a noob, promise. Just suck with wheels

    • 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.
