Hey Skyline owners!

I have a R33 rb25de( slow but does job ;) ) 1996 series 2 Skyline.

What i need help with is what rims can i put on it, like what looks best as well 19inch or 18inch etc.

Also wanting to lower the car abit so it looks nice at the right height with the rims on it so i dont scrape over jutter bars etc.

On my car the front is like half an inch higher not sure why but it looks weird as.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

I have 19's on mine

but go for 18's... the only reason I ended up getting 19's is because every rim I liked i got told couldnt get the right offset for 18's so eventually I got over it and said stuff it and got 19's lol

They look great, but there just to big, car felt about 10 times slower after putting them on because of the higher rolling circumference (going from 16's to this was a big jump)

Ive even ordered new 18's now to replace the 19's.

Depending on what size you want will depend on what offset you can run to avoid scrapping etc. Once you work out what size and width you want then you can work out what offset you will need :)

here are my wheels if you want an idea of what 19's look like, but again I reccomend 18's

ook, how low would a skyline sit on 18's looking nice but not scraping low.

I ordered Lenso D1R's in silver, 18 x 8.5 front and 8 x 9 rear.

i ordered them cause there similar to the rims i already have, I like a nice 5 spoke wheel, but thats just me.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
