Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[alr33x]

Hi guys,

I'm looking at some Tri spoke rims for my r33 gts-t. They're being sold without tyres. Basically, these are the specs:

17x9 20+ fronts

17x9 35+ rears

I know little about offset etc, but will these wheels suit my 33? Please bear in mind that the car is lowered slightly, but I do with to go lower down the track with coilovers etc.

front perfect rear to sunken, but they are tri spoke so i wouldnt buy them there ugly as.. all sorts of fail.

Here's my wussy fitments lol

Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8 front / 9 rear

Wheel offset = +35 front / +38 rear

Tyre size = 235/45 front / 245/40 rear

Modifications to fit = None, straight bolt up. Very safe fit

I really like Tri Spokes, i've always had a thing for them, so they suit me fine. You mention that the rears will be too sunken? Will they look noticeable shite? Or is it something that could be compensated for with wider tyres etc? Basically, i'm just worried that they will look out of place given that the offset is rather different between front and rear : ( Can anyone explain? As i'm not very good at this business.

It will look wierd. It's 15mm different. A 15mm spacer for the rear will fix it up easily.

Are the tri spokes super advans?

Aaah damn it. Oh well, i'm walking away from that transaction then. FYI the rims are Zeldas. Some people will hate them, but I really liked them.

Sometimes you just have to look at it and say, 'it wasn't meant to be'.

Sorry for the newbie question but can the same wheels/tyres be swapped between R32s and R34s?

I want to get 18" for my R32 and want to reuse them when I get an R34.
