ok so i have searched and read through about 40 of the 75 odd pages in the skyline wheel fitment thread...

found a couple similar results...

after pics of fitment with stock guards (obviously flared/lipped) on a 32 GTST with

17x9.5 +12

fitted with 215, 225 or 235 40 or 35 series tyres. Rims are already on the way so just sussing out sizes. fronts running -3.5 camber rear camber is -0.75, would rather do guard work than change alignment settings ;)

Here's mine with 17x9 +5 and a 215/45R17 on the front. I haven't had my camber measured but at a guess I'd say I'm running about -3deg. Your rim would stick in 1mm than mine but not sure about what tyre you'd wanna run.

As for the rear you'll need a small flare I reckon.

Hope this helps a bit.

thanks bud keep em coming...

currently running 17x9.5 +12 on the rear with a 215/45 federal and pokes a bit, front are 17x9 +15 with 225/45 and sit flush .. just unsure on 18s and tyre profile...

was wanting to run lower profile but not too sure how this is gonna stretch.

18x9.5 +15 all round

stock flared guards

235/40/18 feddy 595ss

low.

now camber arms or anything.

mannn thanks so much this is exactly the specs i was looking at and ive been wondering for ages if it will work with no camber arms, you rule!

thumbsup.gifworship.gifthanks.gif

i did my guards.

they were rough as i had 1 day to do them before hitting the track, i got them much better after when i had time.

use tape to tape up how you like the flare, then use a hammer and smash the shit out your guards.

i started hitting soft but realised i needed to hit HARD..

I'm just about to purchase some rota Grids in 18x10+22 and 17x9+15

I know these would need some guard work and some neg camber, but any idea how much. Shouldnt be heaps if i have some stretch on the tyres, rears especially?

This is on stock 32 gtst guards btw

I ran 18 by 9 +22 and with 235's it rubbed even with lipped guards and max camber on the rear, fronts were just ok with camber and caster arms.

Imo with stock guards and mild lipping a 9 +22 is as low an offset as you should go.

There is still alot of clearance inside on the rear so a 9.5 or 10 should fit easy with correct offset.

Btw running anything smaller then a 235 on a 9.5 is stupid and dangerous, if you cant fit the wheels properly dont buy em.

Unless you want to roll and pull the guards a little then a 9 +25 ish is good on the front, the rear can have wider, say a 10 but the offset has to be right.

There is also issues with inner clearance on the front, especially with 18's as they only just cleared the sideskirts and front bar.

IMO 17's are a good compromise between looks and practicality. 18's look better but you can fit 17's alot easier, I have just bought some 17 by 9 +22's and even with 245's they didnt really rub, nothing compared to the18's which rubbed on every corner on the back.

Plus 17's are alot cheaper for tyres :thumbsup:

so the rears fit.... 235/40/18 with 18x9.5 +12

unfortunately I didnt think about the effect having a 33 LCA up front would have on the track so they sit about 12-20mm from the guards... going to try massage guards some more, failing that go a weaker offset.. this is a last option lol.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
