I would say "just fit" lol Im sure you would encounter some scrubbing. When i had my 10.5 wide on the back over 1##km/ph the rear would be pressed down on the tyre causing it to wear pretty bad.

Looks awesome though!

Where did you get the rear guards worked on?

at top one for the back.and as for the front when i get them done ill let you know who i used.

I wouldnt say perfect considering the wheels stick out an inch and the guards have to be lipped and rolled.

Here a few quick pics i took of my 10' wide 18s on the rear:

Here is the view straight up and down

And off to the side a bit.

Just finished fitment of my Volk GTCS

Tyres - 235/35/19 up front, 265/35(its 5cm thick 35 profile my ass!)/19

Rims:

Front - 19x8.5 JJ Offset +27

Rear - 19x9.5 JJ Offset +34

Right on the guards

Fitted Advan V103 Sport - wow they are great tyres, silicone is yet to wear away and they stick like well you know. Rears are Pilot sport, They are so loud I can hear them over the exhaust. Took them awhile to heat up too and until they did I had shit all grip on boost. BTW the pilot sport 265 was as wide as the 235 Yokohama!

No scrubbing car sits at recommended 301cm wheel to arch hight (cant remember exact recommendation for my car)

มีของดีอย่างนี้ต้องโชว์ครับ

ขอดูรูปหน่อยดิ

Alright, Not the best photo was in that sort of night sort of day period where no camera will surfice. Anyway its attached when I get some lower profile tyres I will put it on the floor.

Hope you like :)

The question of what wheel size fits what Skyline comes up so often I though this might be a good place to post your own wheel dimensions.

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = GTR R34 V spec 2000 model

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = 285 - 35 - 18

Modifications to fit = nil fits perfect. Cant go wider width the wheel will not have a full turning circle.

im suprised theres no scrubbing even with 265 on the rears but then the high offset would help it not scrub i guess.

these 19's were the wrong offset...rubbin on my brake calipers on the front..got the right offset...just clears the calipers enough to spin the rims

it's a sign from the big man telling u to get rid of them :(

but seriously, offset doesnt define brake clearance, the disk height does that.

i pose a bit of a question to you all...

Would R32 GTR rims (16 x 8, +30 offset) fit on an R32 GTS-t, without hitting on anything (assuming stock calipers/rotors) and without rubbing on the guards?

I am running r32 gtr wheels and 225's on my r32 gtst and haven't had any problems with rubbing at all but my car is still at standerd height

I would say near perfect! In my opinion if you don't have to at least roll the guards you have chosen the wrong wheels. The opinion above is why the Australian modified car scene fails as a whole, most people don't have a clue about good wheel fitment, though that is slowly changing!

    • have you rotated the car yet? if so how smooth was it?
    • And finally, I had the driver's side airbox off while adding a long drain hose under the oil can to down near the oil filter. Doesn't look good, it has definitely had an turbo oil seal leak and looks like it has been for a long time.....guess I'll have to get a pair of highflows to put on the shelf It's also worth mentioning it has a really strange clamp between the bottom of the airflow meter (which has a big barb/lip on it) and the intake pipe. I've used the magic of MSPaint to show, basically you have to clip out those 2 steel springs which unlocks the hose from the AFM. I used 2 flat screwdrivers, the spring sort of clips into the unlocked position. Reassembly you just pop them both back flat once the hose is far enough up the AFM that the spring clamp is above the barb. Weird to use but much more convenient once your'e used to it compared to trying to do up a hose clamp under the airbox like on 32 GTR
    • The other thing I started was a fire extinguisher bracket.  As with a few other cars previously (350z, Leaf), I'm going to add a bracket between the navigator seat's front bolts, then mount the extinguisher on that. Unfortunately Nissan (probably the same engineer who did the A/T fluid interwarmer) decided that the front seat brackets would be recessed and uneven so the bracket shape was a bit tricky; I ended up doing 1 part under each seat mount (the large hole is because there is a flange under the seat mount to allow for the carpet thickness)   and then a horizontal part between those 2 No final pic yet as the paint needs to dry, I'll post up once that's done  
    • OK, a few half jobs on the skyline this weekend because its booked for a test day at Wakefield Park on 27-Feb. While the Ecutek dongle and app provide display and logging of a heap of engine parameters, they annoyingly don't have access to the auto trans temp. So I grabbed an oil temp gauge from Raceworks which apparently has warning colour change and peak hold, about $95  and their 8mm hose sender adapter Now, I foolishly thought these 2 might work together, but no, the sender needs about 30mm clearance in the fitting and the adapter only had about 8mm. I've cobbled something together with an NPT T piece and blank for now but will try and work out something more permanent as I intend to use the same fitting for the data logger in the future. Under the car, Nissan's engineers decided that only one opportunity for coolant and trans fluid to mix (the radiator) was not enough, and they also added an interwarmer near the sump on the passenger side like the engine oil has: I've cut the hose between the auto trans outlet and the interwarmer inlet and inserted the sender there as that gives the best indication of temp inside the transmission.   From there it is back to the pain of running that sender wire to the cabin, I've run it up near the passenger headlight, into the battery box, across the channel at the back and into the master cylinder area where I ran out of wire length (and patience). Remainder of the job is through the grommet near the accelerator pedal that I've used previously, then across under the dash to where I will temporarily mount it on the console for track days (and remove it other times). The gauge will also need IGN, BAT and earth (I'm not going to worry about illumination as I'll unhook it between track days)  
    • This piece is obscenely discontinued. I honestly hate the frameless window design because the rubber gets stressed and the guides as well every time you open and close the door.
