hi, can anyone tell me the [correct] offsets for 19.8.5 front,and 19.9.5 rear, for a v35 2003 prem coupe, I would like to keep tyres inside guards, any help on this would be great. Thanks G.T.

The most common offsets for those sizes are +22 front and rear. However if you are lowered and how far will also play a part in how agressive you can go with the offset.

I've also seen front offsets go into the high teens, but by far +22 is the most common.

I'm currently running +24 F and +28 rear on the sizes you mentioned and to they look fine, and i have no rubbing issues at all. The car i slightly lowered with Nismo springs and shocks.

Good time for a pic :D

With the right tyre profile you can go lower.

People run 9.5 / 10.5 with +22 offsets for the wheels in the stock guards. If you're running an inch narrower wheels, you can afford to drop 5mm off those offsets and still be safe.

Thanks, the wheels Im getting are 19.8.5 F. and 19.9.5 R. offsets for front are 22,30,38,45. The rear offsets are 30,38,45, only. Do you know what the best combo would be. Thanks very much for help. G.T.

Hey mate,

Tyres are

F 245/40/19

R 275/35/19

The drop I have is very subtle, probably about the same as what you would get from 350z springs. I lowered my last one on 350z tein H-techs and was very happy with the drop, a bit more than the pic I have but it did scrape on the odd driveway.

However the NISMO package is a massive step forward compared to stock. I've driven a stock coupe around a track, and my current one which as NISMO springs/shocks and sways and it's like night and day.

Hey nismo, you say you are running 245/40/19 F, is the rolling Dia larger than STD, I thought 245/35/19 would have been the correct size for the front, was there a reason for the larger Dia Tyre, just curious, Thanks mate G.T.

Hey mate,

Yep it is slightly larger than standard, but I did a bit of reasearch and the sizes I have (front and rear) work fine together and don't effect teh VCD in any way.

I didn't specifically look for these but when my rims came in from Japan, the tyres were removed. And the guy who brought them in only had these in his workshop and offered them to me at no extra cost. The tyre's are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 which are around $900 each so i would have been crazy to not take them. :-)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
