im leaning more towards the +30*/35 because i want flush fitment not poke, plus the larger offset will clear big brakes if i ever upgrade.

im only running such a small tires because i have limited funds and dont want to buy new ones yet when i already have some 235's with 80% tread

Offset doesn't determine brake clearance. Spoke design does.

Hey Guys,

This has been really helpful to read through, I'm ordering rims this week from Work, getting Meister s1 3 piece 18x10+31 and 18x11+29

going by what you guys are saying this seems ridiculous, but I would like to know what you think of offset for front/rear, as you can tell I'm going for a big 'dish' look.

I have Yellow Speed coil overs, will be getting a Type R body kit from viva garage, and universal flares to help fitment. Standard breaks for now but looking into a Brembo or Project Mu kit shortly.

Getting my head around offset has been hard, and I'd love to see some pictures of wheels to compare different offset types. I know what look I am going for, so much criticism about how much work I'll need to do, which I am aware of, I just need a basis to go off, and you all seem to know what works/what doesn't.

Cheers, Ellie :yes:

PS: this is the look I am going for, any ideas on the offset?

those wheels on David Lai's 34 are 19×11 -1 and 19×11 +3 pretty sure

if you have a non GTR 34 without any guard work you can fit 18x10+15 with a little poke or around +30 will make it more flush,

ive got 18x10+35 on my rears at the moment (non GTR no rear guard work), they sit a little in with no spacers, 5mm gets me flush and 10mm spacers get me just a tiny bit of poke. but with +35 my rim hits the coilovers if i slam them too much so id advise +30 at the rear max,

for the front i have 18x9+30 but i have GTR front guards so they have plenty of room, wish i went +15 on the front instead. but spacers will help me fill the gap anyway.

thats just what ive found with my 34 anyway, heres some pics for reference hopefully helps a little

5mm spacer in front and rears

How about this setup on my GTT, getting a sweet deal on a forged set so I thought I would consider this....

18x8.5 +30mm Fronts

18X10.5 +50mm (with 2" lip) Rears

car has BC racing coilovers coming, other then that the suspension is stock right now.

Will these work with the appropriate tires? would I need any spacers to make the rears fit better?

+ 50 on the rear is way to big for 10.5's, im pretty sure if i ran them on my 34 id need 30mm spacers for the rim to clear the coilover which would = massive poke resulting in major guard-work or a defect. (less offset should give you a bigger lip too)

im not an expert, just going off my past experience. and it all depends on how you want your wheels to sit.

im using BC coilovers as well and as i said in a above post my 18x10+35 on the rear hit my coilovers if i lower my car too much so i have to run spacers.

if you want a flush look id aim for 18x10+25/30 in the rear and add 5-10mm spacers to give you desired poke/flush look

im not too sure about your fronts as i have wider guards so i have more room then you but 18x8.5 +30 sounds like it would sit pretty well

hope that helps you

thanks for your help!

I actually went to see them, they are actually 18x8 in the fronts and 18x10 in the rears.

Since the seller had the sizing off I imagine he also was not correct with the offset being at +50 either. I could not find on the wheel the offset either.

I will be test fitting them shortly to see how they actually fit on the car, its the only way to be certain.

I'm looking at a set of d1rs in 18x10+41 rear and 18x9+25 front I have rolled guards and nismo s tune suspension, I don't want camber and ridiculous stretch on my tyres, but I want the guards filled those offsets should clear okay and have room for my brakes still?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
