while im not an authority on rims, i believe that the max upgrade from a stock 8" wide rim is 9" on both sides, making your wheels OK. I dont know anything about offset however. I await scandys or dales input on this thread cos they seems to be the two most wheel savvy folks

-D

wont pass. your 9 +15's bump out the track by an additional 36mm per side over standard. the maximum amount permitted by adr's is about 13mm per side (or, approx 26mm per axle, as you said).

thanks for the info i will need to get my hands on some wheels now ?

you know the widths and offsets of your wheels? easiest/fastest way to check.

if not, bust out the measuring tape and measure between the centre line of the tyres.

i just measured mine and got 1522 mm, stock should be 1480mm + 26mm max =1506mm ;) which means its over by 16mm or 8mm 0n each side, is this worth worrying about .

lol. glad i wasnt the only one thinking that.

probably. depends if the inspector you get got a blowjob that morning or not. you can chance it if you want, but getting standard wheels and fitting them just gives regency one less thing to pick on you about.

Stock 32GTR wheels are 16 x 8 +30.

+17 is the lowest offset you can run. Width is irrelevant in this case, as the offset is the only part of the wheel specs that effects track.

call wheeljerx/adelaide tyrepower/adelaide radial/jap import spares/adelaide jap and see if theyve got a set of passable stockies they can loan you.

:P just today i bought four GTR 33 stock rims which are 17 x 9 +32 offset , i think i got the offset problem sorted now ,but the rims come with 2 different sized tyres 215 front and 235 rear is this ok on GTR or do you need all 4 the same to pass inspection ! thanks

GTR 33 stock rims which are 17 x 9 +30

fixed :P

How GTR rim specs could be so unfamiliar to people on a Skyline forum revered for it's overall technical knowledge is beyond me.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
