Hi Guys,

i know there is a lot of questions regarding offsets and wheel sizes for skylines, but i'm a newbie and haven't found any r33 gtst with the dimensions below

18x8" offset +40 front

18x9" offset +40 rear

my car is lowered 30mm with king springs, will they fit and will i have to do anything to the guards??

....It will look fine

But If you wanna be one of these guys that spend a fortune to get the flush look, even though it provides no great performance benefits,then go for it.

EDIT..i do hope your not running standard shocks with those springs..If not you should spend your money on some good quality shocks before worrying about different wheel offsets.

need wider dude....

+40 will look like a bag of dicks

how do you know what a bag of dicks looks like??

Arent you meant o be on some cruise anyway.. :P

It may not look the greatest but it will still look better than most and i think a good quality set of shocks should be of higher priority if they are not done already..Crappy shocks with hard springs and no tyre sidewall = a pretty crappy and unsafe ride

Why put all this pressure on these kids to make their car look a certain way then grumble when they get pulled over and defected because they spend more money trying to look cool rather than actually enhancing their vehicles performance.

EDIT anyway if your that concerned just stick some spacers on them..

What fortune is needed to get the flush look?

i know there is no real standard as everyone like different looks and stuff but thats nice i think.... lol no spacers

and only $850 a few weeks ago on here with tyres..

but as Arthur T3 said just stick spacers in your ones...

Thanks for the feedback guys.. I have replaced the king springs with Tein coilovers just today and the wheel dimensions I put on earlier were for a set of bbs lm replicas.. Does any1 know where I can get a set of lm replicas that will sit more flush?

VarrsToen in the US make BBS LM reps, but they will sit more poke than flush without rolling/flaring/pumping (19x9.5/10.5+0)

18x9+32 all round. Ran fine without modifying the guards. Only time I got scrapage was on bumpy corners...but a guard roll fixed that, and it's completely related to how low/high your car is. But yeah, as Hamish said...you'll be unhappy with the looks after a while, if you don't get offset and width right straight up. Mine look okay, but I'm now trading my rears for 9.5...will make things look even better without the need for guard flaring.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • 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.
