Hey All,

I've been looking around for a set of 18inch track wheels, I was just wondering if someone could clarify fitment regarding certain offsets. Here are a few options I've been considering and would like to know if they will fit well and basically what is the ranged in terms of width and offset for front and rear.

1. 18in TE37SL 18 x 10.5 +15 GUNMETAL 5x114

2. Work CR Kai 18x9.5 +20 all round

3. Nismo LMGT4 19 X 9.5" +30 (all four) 5 X 114.3 STUD PATTERN

4. TE37 18x10.5 +22 All round

5. RE30 18x9.5 +22 All round

Pretty much just want to develop a bit of knowledge as to what will fit and what wont does going 9.5 front and 10.5 rear matter etc. Pretty much will anything designed for an R34 GTR be a straight fit for an R35 GTR cause there are a ton of 18's and even 19's with those offsets and sizes available. Also does any1 know of say the cost difference in say RE55's for 19's vs 18's and availability.

Cheers

You should add enkie GTC01 18x10x22 to your list (much better clearance vs the te37 etc). Square setup, flip left/right/front/back and cheap-ish. I've used them at a few track days...

And as far as i know they don't make 19" RE55's

Yeah decent semi-comps are only available in 18's and smaller at this stage. And from what I have been told recently we aren't likely to see that change any time in the near future.

18 x 10.5's all around seem to be the way forwards (with 295 rubber) - although I haven't seen any concrete agreement on whether +15 offsets are actually ok to run. Seems +22's are the more common choice - but +15's are more readily available.

I'll be test fitting a set of 18 x 10.5 +15 TE37SL's to mine when I get the car back to Melbourne.

But I'd be very careful about buying anything unproven. My last car set-up had 375mm brakes and I found only a very limited choice of wheels that had an internal diameter capable of clearing the brakes. Obviously the R35 set-up is 380mm so will be even worse.

TE37's + LMGT4's were both ok - but for example CE28's and even standard R34 GT-R rims were not.

Ok so 18's it is thats no problem, So we definetly know that TE37's 10.5 or 9.5 wide with the +22 offset fit and are still waiting to verify the +15 offset.

I will have a look at the enkei as I dont mind those wheels, will definetly keep my eyes open for a set.

If anyone is aware of any other sets that definetly fit up nicely with the sizes and offsets that would be great :).

lol, "forgestar the name you can trust in cast alloy wheels".

those advans looks beautiful. love to see they are designing stuff specifically for big brakes. will be great for all the R32-R34 guys with big alcon kits etc.

Yeah they look great mate. I fitted the new A050's to Berry's new 11 inchies on the weekend, they're pretty light too.

R35s look fantastic with 18s and fat rubber. And its easy (and cheeper) to get the slicks from porsche cup cars too.

There was a R35 at QR with Nismo LMGT4s in 18s a while ago, not sure of the width or offset.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
