Want My Front Flushed And My Rear Poked

[erik]

Before some pretentious ass tells me to buy rims that fit with the right offest, they're sweet jap rims at a good price and unfortunately i don't earn enough to buy new.

Anyway I'm getting some rims for my skyline, want some pro fitment for it and they are;

Front 17x8 +40 215/40 would like them flush

Rear 17x9 +40 215/40 want them sitting out of the guards a bit

Cheers mate

[Sunkist]

im pretty sure they'll sit in.

[boiracer]

big spacers required

[Sunkist]

as in Bolt ons

[KiwiRS4T]

Minimum tyre width for 9in is 235.

[blags]

MASSSSSSIVE spacers required! that's all I'll say

[badhairdave]

keep looking, something better will turn up.

r33 guards can swallow 9's and 10's and still look sunken.

[erik]

oops, i meant to say what size spacers will i need?

[SargeRX8]

Ive got +40 up front on my R33 GTST with 235 tyres and a 5mm spacer. They do NOT sit flush and there really is not more thread to hold onto.

I don't trust those bolt on spacers. Id get longer studs fitted and a proper spacer made to suit your car.

I can't stand running spacers. I hate it, I don't trust it but unfortunately I don't have the $ to get wheels to fit so I just left them on the car.

I know you said it in your first line but honestly man just wait for the right set of wheel to show up. You can get defected for running spacers and depending how big they are you aren't going to have much thread to grab onto.

how far in do they sit? i'm getting bolt on spacers

[blags]

for the front to sit "close" to flush you'll need about 30mm spacers

[SargeRX8]

Far enough in you can't see them at all when looking from the ass end of the car.

30mm spacer lol. I've got 5mm(pass brakes by 2mm) and I'm hating it. I get what, 5 turns onto the lug.

The spacers he'd be looking at, would have studs in them and nuts to bolt them on to the cars hub.

You don't want massive long studs with 30mm slip on style spacers; it's too much load on the studs, flexing them. 10-15mm slip ons would be about the maximum IMO. A bolt on spacer is a much better alternative; but only hubcentric ones.

Sarge; Not looking to insult or offend you; but 5 threads is nowhere near enough to hold a wheel on; you'll just pull the thread out of the nuts, and chuck a wheel.

As a fitter, I have always used 1.5 times the diameter of the thread as an acceptable amount of thread engagement. So on a M12 x 1.25 wheel stud; 18mm is optimum. At least aim for 12-15mm.

Please go to Repco and buy yourself some longer wheel studs before something terrible happens. It'll cost you $60 and an afternoon on the driveway.

cheers daleo, i was looking at neo tech bolt ons

hubcentric bolt ons **

25mm front 30mm rear bolt on spacers, you should be able to find a set of ford Pre AU to AU adapters on the cheap as theyre very common.

having said that, im running 19x10 in a +22, with an additional 35mm bolt on to get the look i want on the rear, with offset less is definitely more

wanna chuck a pick up please taleb?

wouldn't mind seeing your fitment

[t4t4nk4]

im running 225 on my 9 inch. and it looks fat.

and you only need 20 or 25 to sit fluch as ive got 25 and they sit abit past the guards, i have also just ordered 55mm

just make sure you roll the guards well so no scrubbage occurs.
