Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[jjman]

er... dood... that's anything but low...

i would say that is just the perspective of the photo as i was trying to get a pic of how the new rubber sat etc. as such it makes the car look quite high as you are looking up into the arches

see my garage pics for normal perspective http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=garage&do=view_image&id=3397

basically you can get your pinky finger in between the top of the tyre n the wheel arch- just

nonethless, horses for courses. I get alot of people commenting how low my car is. To other people its only low if the rims are up under the guards... (i.e. see my other garage pics with the series 1 spoiler n drift suspension)

it's still not that low... it's clearly below stock heaight, but it aint slammed

my point is that you cant run your car at that height and say that people can have low with 275's on a 9.5" +36 rim without flaring your guards or heaps of camber. if anyone tries to slam their car with those specs they will run into trouble.

i run my car lower than yours and had to pull my guards to fit 9.5+25 with a 245/40

exactly. One persons low is another person's stilts.

Worth clarifying in people's minds before they get in and assume a give rim/offset/tyre will fit...

lowered is legal. dumped or slammed is not...(sounds like a good way to describe it too me)but looks awesome

Wheel: Lenso/Raiden D1R (Project D)

Skyline model = 1994 R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5" Front, 9.0" rear

Wheel offset = +35 Front, +32 Rear

Tyre size = 245/40ZR18 Front 265/35ZR18 Rear

Modifications to fit = Roll Guards

Want to correct the camber a bit so may need to do something with the guards if I do that

Folks:

All this offset stuff messes with my poor old head...

I have an R33 GTS-T at the stock height.

I'm looking at some old Rays GT2s in 17" x 8.0" all round, with +33 offset.

No troubles with those? Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

the only useful thought i could provide is look for something better sized. Not saying go grab some 10" wide phat ass wheels but at least an 8/8.5 F and a 9/9.5 R gives you some more tread to work with AND looks 11bty timesbetter.

if you need any help with size/offsets for that let us know.

[CatsEyes]

OK: thanks, folks.

In a bad way?

In a bad way?

Put it this way... you don't want your skyline to look like a hover craft..

also as mentioned above, more tread to work with is a good thing.

Im planning on getting an r34 gtt some varstoen es 2.2s. The sizes are 18x9.5 +22 all round on stock suspension bits. Will i need to modify the guards or anything?

[alr33x]

as a general rule if you are running wider rubber its always worth rolling your guards at some point you'll likely lower the car too and it will be relevant then so for $50 or so a corner its a good investment to roll ya guards out the way cos if you dont and ya munch your guard cost ya more than $200 to fix it

[08r3308]

19 x 9.5 " +40 rear and 8.5 x+ 38 front will they fit ok
