lol bad offset for a skyline. To be completly honest that offset is probably more suited to say a pulsar. You will want spacers. Even if the wheels fit they will not be the best looking fitment. Yer about +38 is factory i think. I run 30 mm spacers behind my 9.5 +38 driftecs currently

5x114.3 correct spacing!

ah thats okay then.

Have a look at the offset calculator on http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html

+53 and +38 (assuming same tyre size)

The edge of the new tyre will be 14mm closer to the inside of the wheel well and suspension components, and 14mm further in from the edge of the bodywork.

So im assuming you would need 14mm spacer to bring it out to stock offset. +30 will give you a flush stance on r32's (and possible cause scrubbing depending on suspension setup). So I would assume you would need a 27mm spacer?

Someone verify the above.

edit; fyi. wheel spacers are illegal and can cause more stress on the thread if they are not bolt-on type. You may also have wheel balancing issues if they arent hub-centric spacers.

Rekin, don't think you've got it entirely right mate. In your calculations you haven't factored in the width of rims. 16x6.5 +40 are your stock GTS-t wheel specs. 16x8 +53 will stick out 6mm more than your stock wheel specs, however the inside of the rim will sit 32mm closer and I'm guessing this will then be hitting your suspension.

Try this offset calculator instead: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I think more to the point, where and why did you find a rim that has +53 offset?

In my opinion you'd be better off looking at something like 17x8 +25 and 17x9+30.

they are ssr mesh rims, very old school. picked them up at a great price so just trying to make them work. i wil of course be using bolt on spacers, and the car will be certified (you can get away with more in nz anyway). not sure where the actual rim came from where they'd be usinga 53 offset, never seen that sort of number before tbh!

So just wondering what spacer thickness i need to clear the brakes on the front without sticking out of the guards. from what i;ve read in here, a 25mm spacer should be appropriate?

any other opinions?

cheers for all your help everyone.

calculator using a 25mm spacer says that i lose 2mm of clearance with the strut, and the wheel will extend out towards teh guard edge by 36mm

might fit under the guard, barely, might need to do a little flaring or rolling.

does everyone agree?????? i know the 53 was a bad offset to choose, but i love the wheel and it was a very very sharp price.

yeah you're right, my mistake! Forgot to factor in the width! Cheers for clearing that up

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
