post a pic up of the rims youre thinking about buying?

i got some multi spoke rims on my r33, no pics tho... just put em on last week. ill try get some for you tomorrow if i got time during the day :blink:

i think the speedy cheetahs i were gonna get were 18x8 on the front n 18x9 on the back i cant remember the offset but i think it was in the 30s i dont know much about offset so what woul be the best offset for me without rolling guards

ok ive seen these rims i like i was thinking off getting them in 18x8.5 on the fronts n 18x9.5 on the back now they come in a lot off differant offsets they are +15 +27 +30 +40 +42 what would be the best offset to go with without having to get my guards rolled or

heres the pic i promised hehe, and also you wont believe your luck!! my mate just got those for his s14. pic included, same sizes front/rear and all, apparently first in Aus to have them fitted.

mine are 18x9 +35 all round, 225/40 tyre front 245/45 rear... i would recommend around +25 front +18 rear for flush tough fitment or around there.

well what would i have to do to get them to fit the factory guards like do i get a smaller width do i get less offset?

i will be running stretched tyres so yer biggest wheel in all areas(size 18s, width?, offset?) that will fit factory guards using stretched tyres

cheers

Dude dont bother with china wheels, your wheels will set your cars look off imo :P I have r33 gtr wheels which are 17x9 +30 offset, and they dont have good enough fitment for me... something with like 17 or 18 X 9 with about a +20 offset will fit nicely under your guards(you will have to roll them) whats your budget for wheels? there are stacks of 2nd hand japanese wheels floating around that wuld look tough for under $1500!!! Good luck :(

Edit:- The 2nd set you posted up that the dude with s14 has look good for cheaper wheels!! so long as you get them in good offset like 18x9.5 +20 or there abouts. Also dont be scared to get your guards rolled or flared a bit :) will make the car look far more aggressive!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
