Sorry to dig this thread up, but I'm a NOOB with respect to rims and want to ask what offsets are required for each width for a V35 Skyline Sedan? I am looking to buy some rims and keep getting mixed messages on the offsets that will suit without modification.

FRONT - Max Offset? Min Offset?

8" rims

8.5" rims

9" rims

REAR - Max Offset? Min Offset?

8" rims

8.5" rims

9" rims

9.5" rims

10" rims

So far, I've been told (via various for sale posts and other websites):

FRONT

8" rim = +17 Offset will fit

8" rim = +30 Offset will fit (standard 350z 18" rim offset)

8.5" rim = +23 Offset will fit

8.5" rim = +25 Offset will fit

8.5" rim = +29 Offset will fit

9" rim = +25 Offset will fit

REAR

8" rim = +30 Offset will fit (standard 350z 18" rim offset)

9.5" rim = +27 Offset will fit

9.5" rim = +29 Offset will fit

9.5" rim = +30 Offset will fit

9.5" rim = +35 Offset will fit

10" rim = +25 Offset will fit

Do you now see why I am confused? Any help will be appreciated.

And, how do you know if rims will clear big brakes? I may upgrade to a big brake kit in future and don't want to limit myself now by buying a rim that doesn't do the job later.

Also, with tyres, under what circumstances would you use 45, 40, 35? Obviously, the larger the diametre of the rim, the thinner the tyre. So, does this mean:

18" rims = 45 tyre?

19" rims = 40 tyre?

20" rims = 35 tyre?

Or am I wrong?

Whilst we are on tyres, can someone now clarify what width tyres fit on:

8" rims = 225 tyre?

8.5" rims = 245 tyre?

9" rims = 265 tyre?

9.5" rims = 275 tyre?

10" = ?

Maybe once someone can answer my NOOB questions, this can be posted as a sticky for all V35 owners as a quick ref guide or something...

Ok firstly, the wheel offset guide I posted above should be your guide as to what fits and what doesn't. I have however managed to achieve a little bit more with slightly more aggresive offsets.

Secondly my advise is based on your car being lowered at least 1" all round. If you are lowered more than that you will more likely be able to squeeze in a lower offset wheel.

FRONT - Max Offset? Min Offset?

8" rims up to +28 before requiring fender roll

8.5" rims +30 no fender roll

9" rims +35 no fender roll

REAR - Max Offset? Min Offset?

8" rims

8.5" rims +33 no fender roll

9" rims +37 no fender roll; +31 fender roll (245 tires)

9.5" rims +40 no fender roll; +35 fender roll

10" rims +45 or + 50 no fender roll

If in doubt you can use this calculator to work out how much your new wheels will move toward or from your fender.

http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

Ok moving on to brake clearance. If you are buying Jap wheels, Work, Rays, SSRs etc, they usually state disk type

Normally denoted by A = Standard disk (will clear factory v35 brakes), O = Super low (fine for the rears), R = Hi Disk for BBK or Brembos

If you are planning on upgrading brakes, then it would be in your best interest to buy wheels that have R disk or Hi disk

Check this spec sheet as an example:

http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/wheels/26/72/VSKF_PDF.pdf (note wheels with super low brake clearance are normally ones with bigger dish)

Finally tire size and profile:

Needs to conform to factory Overall Diameter or else it will throw your speedo out.

Use 245/45/18 as your base spec. + or - 15mm is OK.

Then go to the tyre calculator to work out what you need if you go 17s or 19s

http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

If you are planning to run big widths and aggresive offsets, you will also need to choose smaller width tyres to avoid scrubbing eg: rears 245 instead of 265

Disclaimer: The above advise is still fairly conservative with regards to offsets. If you want to dump your ride and run -3 degree camber and stretch 225 tires on a 10" rim you can still achieve most of the below offsets. :down:

Hope this helps.

Excuse my ignorance but I thought the fronts were already rolled from factory? Unless you meant removing the inner fender "protector" things and rolling it further since those plastic fender covers are screwed onto the guard... I'm planning to fit a 9.5" +22 wheel up front with around 1-1.5 degrees negative camber and 225 tyres, do you reckon it's possible without removing the fender covers? I'm almost certain it'll rub at full lock :P

I think you might be right about the fronts already rolled. I have only rolled my rears.

Going 9.5 at the fronts you will have two problems. Too high an offset the inner rim will hit the suspension. Go lower offset and it will stick outside your guards like dogs balls.

Check out the chart above.

9" at the fronts would be optimal. You really don't need to go any wider at the fronts or you'll have problems steering the damn thing :P

Any info in regards to the coupes?

I've been looking a set of wheels, 10" on the rears and 8.5 or 8" on the front, offset +22 for the 10" ones according to site. Would like that I'd not need to roll my guards.

Cheers!

Coupe guards and wheel specs are similar to 350z = massive potential!

9.5 +22 F and 10.5 +22 rears not a problem at all.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
