ey Guys!

I'm selling these 17" rims that came with my car. They're Jim Head Racing rims, really light weight japanese rims. They have brand new tread (i mean brand new, have been on there for only a few months).

Fronts = 17x9x45

Offset of +30

Rubber width 235

Rears = 17x10x40

Offset of +35

Rubber width 255

Stud pattern = 5x114.3 so suitable for the usual R32/33/34/S14/S15/Z32 etc etc

Tires on the wheels are brand new Nangkang Ultra Sport NS-II. Paid around $800 for the rubber so this is a bargain price for these wheels.

Tread is 90%+ as shown in the picture.

They're in pretty good condition, one wheel has a few scratches as shown in the pictures. Nothing major really.

I've only ever seen 1 other skyline with these wheels, so you can be sure you'll have original rims that are pretty rare.

Price: $850 negotiable.

Location: Canberra, ACT. Will post, buyer pays shipping.

could we fit 255 fit on the frount wheels due i want to know if they would fit a r33 gtr

you can easily fit a 255 on the front 9inch rim.

But with a gtr its best to keep both rim width and tyre width the same all round. as in this case the rears are 10inch...

pretty good price though!

Who said an extra inch on the rears was all that bad? :)

And yes, you should be able to fit 255's on the fronts if you wanted to, effectively making the tire widths same front and back.

How heavy is:

1. Front wheel with tyre

2. Rear wheel with tyre

Do the front wheels scrub against the guard on full lock being 17x9" wide? on a R33 gts25t?

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
