I just want to know 17x7JJ, 5x114.3 PCD and possibly a +42 offset from m35 rim and tyres are 215/55/17 will fit in my S2 or not.

Thank you

I think they'll end up too far inside your guards with that offset, won't look very nice, I'd look for something with an offset of at least +30 and around 8" wide.

they will fit but wont look too good. my car came over from japan with 17 x 7" rim and around a +45 offset. tire was a 225 50 R17 and i had no trouble with the tire hitting the strut so a 215 will be fine. the fronts sat in the front guard by a mile lol. the rears where better but still sat in a little.

so to answer your question, yes it will fit. but if you have a choice hold off for a rim with a better offset. i'm now running a +30 offset rim and they sit in the front guards ok, rears sit perfect once lowered. car is a auto S2.

Just yesterday I fit 19x8s on the front wearing 235/35 with no dramas at all

19x9.5s fleshed the back sporting 245x35s.

Wouldnt fit with standard springs but the coilovers allowed for them (just, I put on an 8mm spacer to stop the rubber skimming the strut on corners, and only because I couldnt source a 5mm spacer)

Steam rollin!

With a lip roll on the back there will allow enough clearance to slam it down another 20mm (stock ride height atm)

You might have problem with different rolling diameters front to rear. . . .

rolling diameter should be the same?

Just widths are different... proving a smooth ride so far..

sorry mate but the rolling diameter will be different. having a 35 profile tyre means that the side wall is 35% of the width, therefore if you have a wider tyre, the sidewall height increases in proportion with the width increase. 235/35 = 82.25mm sidewall. 245/35 = 85.72mm sidewall. which means you have a 7mm difference in tyre height. this may be enough to cause trouble.

    • 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?
