Rim Questions

[jenkies]

hey guys below is a pic of the rims im buying and i was wondering what either a 235 or 245 would look like.... im after something with that stretched look. they are for show not for performance

rims are 18 inch by 9.5 wide

if anybody has similar sized tyred on same size rim please post up your pics to give me an idea.

many thanks

personally I think stretched out tyres look retarded, but both those sizes will do the job. 245 will fit a bit better.

depends on what offsets your after and how low the car is.

245 would be sweet on a 9.5 +30 at the rears imo

Stretched looks mad. Go 215s

lol naa not after complete "rice" look just want a decent stretch not a complete stretch

and offset is to suit r32 gtr dunno what it is exactly.

is a bit irrelivent but. im just after pics of a 235 on a 18/9.5 rim so i have an idea of what it will look like

[SoFly]

i'd be after +18 to +22 offsets for a 9.5 rim on a gtr.

I have 235/45's on 8.5's the walls slant in just a bit (mind you they do have that rim protector), hardly enough to tell when the tyre is on the car, but easy enough to see when they're off.

not that you can tell from this angle....

and not that this is much of a stretch... but its a 235/45 on an 8.5 for you.

yes, they're Veilside marriots, 17x7.5 & 8.5 +28 4&5x114.3

225/40 tyre on a 18x9.5 wheel. Just to give you an idea.

[jenkies]

SNAP!! adam uve told me exactly what i need to know with those pics!! thanks champ!!!

[AD2AV1]

Adam! What are those rims called in those pics mate? They are choice! oh, and the Federal rubber is a neat touch...can you tell us what they are called and where I might hunt down a set for my 33 GTS-T?...

Dont mean to steal the thread, but just saw them and had to know!

[adam-__-]

"18x9.5 +15 4x114.3 Rota P45R. 225/40/18 Federal SS595." Is all the information I can give you mate. No idea as to where to purchase these tyres or wheels, sorry.

[N1GTR]

Ive had (and will again) 235's on 18x9.5

Looks great IMO

[B. J.]

thanks bj! looks nice as on ur 31!

Cheers man, didnt stay on the GTS very long - gotta keep the originality

they're headed across to the daily/project '31 very soon.

adam's rims look like some sort of 'Work' or 'Rays' rim, probably be able to find some up upgarage in japland.

AHUH!

Oh I thought he was asking about the wheels in post #11... Post #14 was for the wheels in post #11.

[Swink33]

What's the reason for going up to 245's if you don't mind me asking? I'm getting 19x8.5 for my fronts and I'm on the fence between 225 and 235 tires. I don't want to lose any performance by streching them too much so I'm trying to find an optimal size for 8.5 while not sacrificing looks...
