offsets?

Measure the offset by measuring from the back of the rim to the face of the hub. That will give you backspace, and then you can work it out from there.

yes wat were they on?

and do you know if they would fit an r34?

do you wanna swap for 17s or you still want 18s??

im not that fussy as long as they look good

the rims came off a r33, so id say they'll do a 34

anyone is welcome to try em if they come to the coast

ok so ive been told its not negative its positive offset so that would make the fronts bout +40

and the rears bout +44

I measured the backspace on both sized rims

the 10 inch rims backspace is about 167mm

and the 11 inch rims backspace is 184mm

now im gonna need a hand to work out the offset

Measuring Wheel Offset

To calculate offset you'll need the following measurements:

Wheel backspace

Wheel Width

Wheel Center line (outboard flange to inboard flange measurement / 2)

Subtract:

Wheel center line from Wheel backspace to get offset.

If backspace is less than the wheel centerline the offset is negative

If backspace is greater than the wheel centerline the offset is positive

Tip:

To convert from inches to mm multiply by 25.4

To convert from mm to inches divide by 25.4

167mm approximately 6.6"

184mm approximately 7.25"

front offset with a 10" rim and 6.5" backspace

centerline is 10" divide 2 = 5"

6.5" backspace is greater then centerline, so positive offset

Find difference of backspace and centerline 6.6" - 5" = 1.6"

1.6" of positive offset = approximately 40mm

rear offset with a 11" rim and 7.25" backspace

centerline is 11" divide 2 = 5.5"

7.25" backspace is greater then centerline, so positive offset

Find difference of backspace and centerline 7.25" - 5.5" = 1.75"

1.75" of positive offset = approximately 44mm

You will proberbly find they came off a soarer or supra with that kind of offset.

well im not 100% on anything cuz shits hard to measure with tyres on, takin em into a rim shop on sat and getting em measured and stuff there without tyres on to make sure of everything and i'll repost proper sizes

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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.
