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

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
