ive seen a few 300zx with those wheels they look pretty good too..so they will fit but yet too see a skyline

I believe , honda ford toyota and nissan all share same stud pattern, have also seen porsche and merc amg rims on nissans

Just tried the rims of my 32, ROH DriftR's on an earlier ford fairlane like el or some such

wouldnt fit due to pressed ring in the center of the rims

skyline was 66mm ford 71ish centers

by taking the pressed ring out it would have fit

offset was wrong though for the ford

later ford has more offset and sposedly okay

I've fitted a Ford wheel to a R34 temporarily as a spare (In this case an AU wheel). They work, same pcd etc, offsets will vary I guess depending on the wheel, meaning potential brake, strut or guard clearance issues, but they're generally similar and they will boltup OK.

The Fords have a bigger hub though, resulting in a gap between the skylines hub and the centre of the wheel, so when the wheel is on the cars weight will be resting on the studs, not the hub. It will work, but buyer beware, this is bad from a mechanical and certainly a safety perspective.

i run R34 GTR rims on my falcon (FG) ... had to get the hubs bored out.

same PCD.

early fords have the +6 offset, AU-FG have +36 offset.

regarding brake clearance,

any FPV rim will clear brembos

a few XR rims clear brembos, most dont.

I have ford rims on my 33 ( dominators i think they are ) they do line up ok and there is fark all brake clearance can barely get the width of a key in the gap. I was told that I should get some hub rings for the gap difference. Then they said that because the rims are new they should be ok.

dude if the wheel centre is bigger than the hub you should get the hub rings immediately and not drive around with the wheels resting on your studs .. thats why you hear of wheels flying off cars every once in a while killing someone.

If you've been driving it like that for a while I'd probably get the studs replaced as they're most likely stressed now and will break eventually. I have NO IDEA why they/you think the wheels being new makes any difference in that regard. It's nothing to do with wheels being new or old, you don't want the wheel resting on your studs.

My DTM wheels left a small 2-3mm gap around the wheel hub but I put hub rings immediately and they fit on perfectly.

i ran r34 wheels on the magna. had to bore the centre hole out by about 1mm in total. they sat out a little bit wider than the stock wheels.

all falcons are 5 x 114.3, but as said, offset varies. early stuff was extremely small offset. AU onwards is pretty close to skyline. also so is late mitsubishi (magna and 380) and toyota (camry) 5 stud stuff as far as i'm aware

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
