Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

shits me i cannot get the 10.5 with the wheels I want. what does a 10.5 +30 translate to with a 9.5 inch rim. What offset should i get to match the same flushness as a 10.5 +30 wheel.

Skyline model = R34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9.5 +22 fronts, 9.5 + ??????rears

10.5+30 = 9.5+17

Anything from +15-20 will look nice with natural camber from low.

Does anyone know if JZA80 turbo rims, 16x9 +50 offset will fit on the back of a R33 GTST.

I need some 16 x 9 rims for drag duties.

I was using R32 GTR 16 x 9 +30 with 255/50 16 Mickey T"s, but found that I needed too much height in the rear for the tyres to clear when launching.

Or any other 16 x 9 rims that will tuck in with the tyre setup.

Thanks

Just put the rims on only just fit, will be rolling the guards.

Question, how close are everyones tyres to the struts, looks a little to close???

Will 265 help that much??/

offset 40+

"worked"... Save time effort and potential for damage and don't be a tight @ss

No damage.

Actually I didnt have the heat gun and gave it a smack with the hammer and cracked the paint a tiny bit.

But if you just user a mallet + heat gun you should be fine.

Every place that does it for $50-100 a corner says "50/50 chance paint will crack"

So I mean what have you go to lose?

Use a block of wood wrapped in a towel, a heat gun and a rubber mallet, I had mine professionaly done and they cracked the paint, me and a mate done his with the above mentioned equipment and it turned out fine with no cracking.

You need to do it in stages though.

Save the money for beer.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
