Guys, i need some help.. I have found some wheels i love & wanna get for my r32.. but the offset is +45!! And from what i thought, around +35 is what everyone seems to use.. Can anyone tell me if these wheels will fit on my car n if they will look like shit,scrub etc.

Thanks...

Thanks man, but couldnt find anyone with same offset as the wheels i want are.. but ill post in there n see if anyone can help me..

you stil want low offset mate, the higher the offset the worse it will look basically unless you like the sunken look.

+22 is probaly about right.. agree with blags id be going for 17s/18s but if u like 19s thats your call you just cant get as close to the ground

well i went 2 have a look at the wheels today (they are a private sale) not from a shop.. fronts are +42 and rears are a +45 .. so i think im up shit creek.. Unless i can run spacers? Has anyone used these n how much of a difference can/will it make.. n yeah im aware they are illegal.. n yeah im aware 17s,18s would be more suitable/practical.. but i like the wheels & my car handles fine with the 19s ive had on the car all the time ive owned it.

Any more help would be great, thanks guys. :thumbsup:

avoid spacers if u can i had em on the front not a fan couldnt get a good balance no matter what and i personally wouldnt want em on the rear but heaps of ppl use hubcentrics without a problem, the thing is you can just buy the right wheels first off save ya the hassle.

spacers are illegal.

yeh i just didnt want him to not know they are illegal if he is keen on then.

by the look of the rim its a knock off gtc style id say get save up for the real thing the ladeeez will be far more likely to slip and land on ya kn0b if ya get the real deal.. its like getting PRADA or PRODA .. just aint right.

whats the real ones? i cant find that style of wheel anywhere.. thats y i want those wheels so bad.. N i did a bit more investigating.. N found this dude selling his wheels ( hes on here im pretty sure too..)

Front - 19*8 Offset 35

Rear - 19*9 Offset 44

but he said he didnt use any spacers? so im just curious to know y the wheels sit so flush with the car?

pics are.. HERE

Can anyone tell me how that works? Even though its a high offset.. i dont understand.. :P sorry guys haha.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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?
