R33 GTS fitment 17" rims on an R31?

[floody]

Theres a nice set of 17" 5 spokes at my local jap wrecker, attached to the remnants of a stripped-for-wrecking R33 GTS. Anyone know if they are likely to be a suitable offset for an R31 ?

I'm not sure on the width but they're running 225/45's

the r31s are 4 stud and the r33s are 5, how is this going to work?

unless you get a 5stud conversion kit

you can find them at R31 HOUSE you might need a translator if you dont know japanese.babelfish - altavista

Erm, hate to state something so fundamental, but have you ever seen an R33 GTS? by that I mean not a GTS-T ? The non-turbo GTS has the same four stud pattern as the R31, silvia, cefiro etc etc, I'm not sure on offset however.

anyways, anyone have an idea what a typical wheel offset would be for an R33 GTS, with aftermarket 7 or 8" rims?

for my 16x8 (225) rims i'm pretty sure the offset is 35mm

lol opps sorry i thought u were talking about the gtst not gts

[blind_elk]

31s, I believe, run something like a +25 offset on their standard rims, and it's usual to decrease the offset as the wheel gets wider. So fitting a wider rim would require perhaps +15 offset, certainly not a +35.

It's likely the rims you're interested in are 17x7s with a 225 tyre.

ahh well, I'll try them after work tomorrow.

ive fitted aftermarket 33 gts wheels to mine as a test, they were fine. 16x7's or something.
