Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[thewheeldeal.com.au]

no you just said that they weren't based off manufacturers,

Did I?

....Whilst Australian Standards are developed in conjunction with manufacturers (along with engineers, industry professionals and international associations)...

where does it say that?

Look Fellas, I didn't come on here to argue fact versus fiction with you. I simply tried to provide some facts about what's legal and what's not, and as I have said numerous times, it's up to the individual to use those facts as they see fit. If like yourselves people choose to ignore the facts, then so be it. It's got nothing to do with me and as Braddd has pointed out it's up to the police to enforce them. However we have already proven that bogus advice has already cost one user alr33x a defect, so where's the harm in clearing up the confusion? I'm sure if he knew the legalities before fitting said tyres he might not have done it.

I never said a stretched tyre is unsafe....

I never said don't do it....

I'm still trying to figure out what you are arguing about here...how can people make an educated decision if they don't have both sides of the story?

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

i made a statement that the ADR's didnt carry any merit of their own (them doing individual testing themselves), you said that was true, from this we deduce that you think that ADR's are based off them doing their own testing.

bigger turbo, fuel system, computer, fmic, steel induction etc etc etc, i'd be glad if i only copped a defect for tyre size

and dont say that it'd get me pulled over and then checked, as we all know coppers love to pull over skylines no matter what the wheel/tyre situation anyway

hey guys just wondering... i have a r34 gtt and want to know what size rims i can get without any modifications. i got a quote from work and they seem to think i can have 18x9 front and 18x10 back. didnt say anythink about offset. offset and tyre sizes would be a big help thanks. also whats the biggest i can go legally??

also still running stock suspention and i dont mind rolling my rear gaurds alil. after reading alot of these pages i think rear: 18x10 + 18

front: 18x9 + 12 should do the job.

Pretty agressive. Should look good. You'll have to roll front and rear I believe.

is that all i have to do???????

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

to make it worthwhile you'll have to go lower too

[kyekye]

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = r32 gts-t 4door

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5 front / 9.5 rear

Wheel offset = +30 front / +35 rear

Tyre size = 225/40 front / 245/40 rear

Modifications to fit = Need low profile tyres to clear the control arms up front. Rears stick out about 2cm past guards so need stretch fit tyres

whoops double post

that shit is useless without offsets mate...

find out the offsets first

[HEKT1K]

^^ he is asking for offsets dude, to suit the given widths and r33 guards

my bad - its late and i miss read it :\

[SXY_33]

hahaha yeah, i think its somewhere around +22 ???

[Russman]

is that all i have to do???????

Sorry I don't know 34s that well. It'll look good. Just might cost a bit to make them fit. I think guards will need bit of a pump.

I know a mate is running 18x10's +22 on his 34 and they fit ok with 235's front and back so going by that you'll be 4mm wider at the back and about 2mm further in at the front if you use a 235 tyre. Or maybe he has 245's.... I can't remember. Anyway his didn't scrub.

I'd go 235's front and 245's at back and make em fit.

[craig R33]

need some help here guys.

17 x 8 up front

17x 9 on rear, +44 offset, kinda homo atm as you can see in pic below

ill be pickin up four 25mm bolt on spacers tomoz and see how it looks....

keepin in mind this is track only, thinkin maybe a slight flare on teh guard as well...

[bert_]

wondering if any one knows what size spacers ill need if i want to fill the guards on my r32 gts-t running r34 gt-t stockies, i want the wheels to sit further out to look abit more agressive as i like the look of the r32 wheels.

cheers.

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 =

Wheel diameter =

Wheel width =

Wheel offset =

Tyre size =

Modifications to fit =

One of mine as an example;

Skyline model = R32GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = 35

Tyre size = 245/45/17

Modifications to fit = remove the front inner plastic guards, roll rear lip slightly.

cheers

got pictures of how the wheels sit?
