Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[niZmO_Man]

Where is it scrubbing? It shouldn't be with those tyre sizes. The offset seems a bit high, might be scrubbing the front part of the plastic guard cover (if you're running high caster).

FYI I'm running 275/35/18 on 18x10+20, just touches the bit where the bumper is mounted to the guard (rolled guards). I could just raise the car to stop it .

Quick question:

Will 18x9.5 +23 fit the front of an R33 without rolling or removing the splash guards? Looking at running either 225/40 or 235/40.

I've got no issue with rolling the rear guards but I don't want to mess up the front. Car sits with about 2-3cm between tyre and arch so not super low.

Currently running 18x9 +30 with no scrubbing at all.

Yes.

[colourclassic]

Yes they will fit or yes the guards need rolling.

I had to roll mine with +20 but that was lower.

Fronts are easier to pull than the rears anyway

[colourclassic]

I don't wanna mess with the guard liner/front guards because a) it looks shit when it's missing and b) shit gets into the quarter behind the wheel. I'd rather just leave it untouched.

You are just rolling the lip on the fender.. Not missing the plastic lining... There are almost no downsides to getting it done.

Meh... bin it

i assume 18 X 9.75 +20 should fit a 32gtr without too many issues?

what would be the preferable tire size?

Yeah just roll the guards if your car is low.

I'd stick 265/35/18 on them.

Hey guys, im in the market for new rims and im a newbie when it comes to offsets so ive come to you guys!

My 33 has not had its guards rolled and sits at a pretty well standard height for the moment but will be putting some BC Coilovers in at the same time or shortly after i get wheels!

wanting to put the following on and Id like to know if i can run them safely without any scrubbing and to clear the struts and calipers and to not be sticking out the guards too much! (or is that too much to ask lol)


Tyres 235/40/R18 all round

Front : 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 + 22 to + 35 (roughly)

Rear 18x9.5 +22 to +30 (either or in between)

im after the most aggressive deep sort of look on my car, so any reccomendations and or opinions would be great!

looking at getting some varrstoen Es3's or Es6's or some Rotas..im too undecided there all so good!

Cheers!

Have a look through this thread

[Jordzz33]

Ive scanned over 10 pages my understanding of it all is not so great hence the question, would be helpful to have someone answer me directly

[Jordy32]

http://rimtuck.com/search That should help, just enter the sizes that are available and you'll find what it looks like on your car

also remember to buy genuine wheels.. lol

[colourclassic]

Front : 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 + 22 to + 35 (roughly) go at least +30-22. Will need rolled guards. Varsstoen have low disc so I'm not sure they will clear calipers.

Rear 18x9.5 +22 to +30 (either or in between) will be fine, a little poke.

So I think I've finally decided on a wheel size that I want for my R34 gtt 18x9.5+20 all round. (Now just need to find some BBS RGR's)

The thing is, I wanted to go with the same tyre size all around too, I couldn't find anyone or anything on the forum, but has anyone run 255/35 on the fronts? Closest I've seen was 245

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Plenty of people have but you would be better going with a higher quality 235/40 if its a street car as it will grip just as well and will be lot easier to fit. Unless you are running 400kw or something crazy

[tiddyd]

From what I've read though, 235 on a 9.5 inch rim is stretched?

[GH05T]

a little

thats 235/35/19 so it will be less so on your 18 with /40

Hmmm say I could squeeze a 255 under the fronts without any scrubbing, I think that would be perfect in my opinion.

I rather it not stretched, even in the slightest, but thats just me i guess lol
