Help With Work Wheel Offset

Hi I own a 1995 Nissan GTR GTR. It has a set of coil overs and standard Brembo brakes, but in the future in looking to up grade the brake to some AP racing cal piers and rotors. I would really like to have a set of wheels with a lip.

I own a 240sx wide body with Volk GTC, I think they would look good on a GTR but having 2 cars with the same wheels would suck.

So after looking around I found work miester S1-3 I was looking to do a staggered set up if possible on the GTR. I was thinking 19x10.5 with a +12 offset all round is this about right. With 285\35\R19

I don't mind rolling the front and rear fender inner lips for that full look.

I just can't seem to find any R33 GTR with work Miester S1 wheels at all.

Any help would really go a lone way as I'm planning on buying these wheels next month.

With any type of dished wheel you are going to have brake clearance issue's (i know i have). Especially running larger then standard brakes.. It can be done of course, just make sure you get the correct disc when you order the wheels "O" type etc..

You will have half the dish on the front as the rear though, and i dont like that look and that's why i went for something aggressive.

I think that width and offset will be spot on for an aggressive 33 GTR. You may struggle to fit 285's though, something like 255 would be more realistic!

well i went and looked at one of my friends GTRs again and he has 275/30/19 on gtc all around the rim size is 19x10.5 with +12 all around they fit good with no clearance issues. Looking at it he has room for about an inch more in width he can go, but i would like to go 11 inch wide with the 285 set up.

I found a silver clean gtr on line that has a 285 set up all around, but from what i hear i will hace to roll the fenders whitch i dont mind doing.

Now i want the work miester s1-2-or 3 whitch ever fits. just can make my mind up on offset. i cant seem to find any R33 GTR's on line with then.

Thanks agai mate keep it coming.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
