was wondering if anyone could help me out picking a offset to suit wider guards?

any formulas that u guys use or anything would be great.

basically im thinking about either rolling my guards out, getting wider guards, or even fitting a entire wide bodykit on it.

so i need to know wat offset to use with my wheels.

any help would be great.

Try using that. Just experiment with what offsets you can get your hands on and compare them too your wheels that you have on at the moment. It tells you how much it will stick out or in etc.

thanks adam, although its a bit confusing when ive got 8inch rims atm and im changing it to 10inch, i dont know how it directly affects the offset.

maybe i should get a pro to do it? lol

Easiest way is to start with the wheel specification and then plug it into the calculator, then determine how much more clearance you need.

Generally if you want something like GTR offset rims, you're looking for 9" wide rims with +12 or +22 offset.

you need the following:

size of current wheel (diameter,width):

current wheel's offset:

distance current wheel sits inside guard:

distance bodykit extends guard by from standard body:

camber (don't need this if you haven't changed it from factory):

if you have 18x8 I'm gonna guess your offset is +34 or +35, if you wanted to extend that another 170mm you'll need a pretty f*kin wide wheel unless you resort to spacers. I've got 14" wide with an offset of -60 using that calculator :thumbsup:

If you would like to speak to a workshop about rolling/lipping guards, fitting low offset wheels, fitting kits and respray work, contact Primal Garage. They're located in Brooklyn, just down the road from Dr Drift's workshop.

But as other people have said, you need to post more info. If I were you I'd probably just get the guards lipped and flaired, you'll be able to fit at LEAST a 10" wide rim on the rear with +12 offset and 9" on the front with 0 offset, not too sure how wild you can go with a R34 Skyline.

im most likey to get a actual wider body instead of rolling guards. i couldnt possibly roll my guards 170mm each side.

and yes nismo its 170mm each side, its a pretty massive kit im getting.

unfortunately i dont have any pics but expect something insane.

but here are my measurements for my wheels atm

18x8

offset is unknown ....im assuming +35 or something around there. is there anyway of finding out exactly?

ive got pretty much no gap between my wheels and my guards. its around 2-3mm if that.

its not final but the bodykit will increase guards width by around 160-170mm "each" side.

massive kit

i guess what i really need to do is find out exactly how big my guards will pump out then work on wheel offset.

Edited by R34NRG

If thats the case then i'd be really interested to see it...do u realise thats an additional 6.9 inches each side...good luck in finding wheels to suit dude...18x12 -20? :(

Kakimoto kit????

we have an original kakimoto and it only runs 13" at the rear and 10" in the front. My BN sports widebody runs 12" at the rear and 10" at the front.

I think its 170mm total, so divide that by two per side. Not even JGTC cars are that wide.

lol...Andru are u telling porkies again??? adding 34cm to the total width of your 34 I worked out...you wouldn't be able to fit in a single garage, normal parking spots and 1/3 of your car would be taken out by traffic if you parked on the side of the road :D

I had 10's on the rear and 9's on the front of my R34 can send photo if you want

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
