looking to buy some new rims and found that my r33 s2 NON TURBO gts-4 uses 4 stud rims and turbo models use 5 stud..is this correct?

well ive been searching around and not easy to find 4 stud rims that use 235/45/17 tyres and abit frustrated. there r 17'' 4 stud rims but uses 205/40/17 from 4cly cars etc and seem abit small for me and less grip? so wondering does any1 around here have a set of 17'' 4stud rims that may fit 235/40/17 on onto my r33 :( or close 2 it that will sell?

thanks for any help

I think you'll have a better chance of finding nice/good 4 stud rims on nissansilvia.com because they've got more cars which use 4 studs (S13's, 180sx etc).

And it's pretty hard to find nice 4 stud wheels. Good luck with your search.

the wheel is 17 inches in diametre, is 9 inches wide, and has an offset of +32

if you want the definition of offset, use google... I know what it is, but cant really explain it

Oh one more thing. Do your research with offsets before purchasing wheels. Usually the lower the offset, the more the wheels would stick out of your guards. I think just learn abit more about wheels in general and you'll understand what offsets you want/need.

thanks, atm im using 235/45/17 tyres and need advice on what size rim is suitable. 17x8? 17x9?

also i am unsure of what my stud pattern is. Since being a nonturbo s2r33 its a 4stud and i THINK i read somewhere its 4x114.3? not sure

some1 correct me lol

Yes, you are correct! Skyline 'PCD' or stud pattern is 4x114.3 or 5x114.3, I'm not sure of the offset values for the 32's or 33's but I assume they would be simlar to the 31, however you'll have to allow for brake caliper clearance and clearance of the strut. They are the main issues when trying to find 4x114.3 rims.

Like the others have said, it is hard to find that style rims. Workout what offset is ideal (for the R31 its +10 to +30 7 to 9" rims)

Depending on what sizes you want, you'll have to work it out. Anything about +35 is going to give you issues clearing the struts.

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. The offset can be one of three types.

Zero Offset

The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive

The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tyre assembly. This in effect brings the tyre further into the tyre well.

Negative

The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset. a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.

Like others have said nissansilvia & other silvia or Toyota sites are good, as they share the same stud patterns. if you have a good amount of money to spend you could always look at importing something from japan, as there are some amazing rims at decent prices.

hmmm 4 stud rims arn't that hard to find...i mean you can get 4 stud Nismo LM4's i think thats waht they're called and works meisters...in 17 inches or so the question is are u wiling to pay the price :nyaanyaa: but yeah go on nissan silvia there is some one there selling rims especially 4 studd ones for cheap well reasonable prices :thumbsup: hope that helps

Cheers

Yeah, it's not all that difficult to find 4 stud rims. It's just hard finding ones with good offsets and a good/affordable price.

Another thing to consider is possibly converting ur 4 stud to 5 stud. Its a worthwhile investment and will open up a whole lot of possibilities in terms of wheel choices. 4 stud wheels are out there but to find a set with the right offsets and at an affordable price is gonna be pretty hard.

Yeah it cost about $1000 for the parts and I think it was installation as well? for the 5stud and bigger brakes. I think it'll be a good upgrade if you can't find any good rims. Not only do you get 5 studs, but you also get bigger/better brakes.

o oright ill think about that but atm i got another question lol, so 235/45 tyres would fit on both 17x8 and 17x9 rims, since i have a gts-4, if i had 17x8 rims on the front and 17x9 BUT i put 235/45 tyres on ALL the rims would that still affect my ATTESSA????

would 17x7 rims rim seem abit umm..thin?? on an r33 lol

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
