I'm currently trying to figure out what would be best suited out of these two sizes but I don't really have my head around offsets too well.

I want the wheels to be a flush fit with the guards, not tucked in and not hanging out. Can anyone confirm if either of these sizes are correct?

18x10+20 or 18x9.5+22

If you have either of these sizes on your 32 I would be grateful if you could post close up pics of how they fit in the guards.

They sit fine now but I have a 5mm spacer as the fronts rubbed the inside tyre wall without it, they came with the car and I have no idea what their offset is unfortunately.

So if +12 is dead flush, is +20 sitting in or out the guards?

I've got 18x10 +18 with my front and rear guards have been rolled and worked on. And it works perfect

Alright Deano any chance you could post some pics up for me so I know where they will be roughly?

Just super keen to know exactly how they will sit before I lay down nearly 4K.

Hi Matt, I run 18x9.5 +12 and they sit flush. (Tyres are 255/35/R18).

265's will scrub on the front but very minor on lock going slow.

I'll get some pics today

As per your first post

18x9.5 +22 will sit 10mm further in.

18x10 +20 will sit 2mm further in

Deano's 18x10 +18 will sit exactly the same as mine.

18x10 +20 will sit 2mm further in

Hope some of the snaps help your choice

Richard thanks for the thorough response that was just what I was looking for.

Your fitment is pretty much spot on what I'm after so 2mm further in the guards I'll be stoked with, I run 255's on 10 inch wheels now so that's what I'll be using on the new rims.

I am running CE28's 18x9.5 +15 with 265's all round.

Heaps of room! I could drive a truck through that guard gap.

I think a +12 would be better or a 18x10.5

Hi guys I'm new to this forum and new to Skyline ownership. I've recently brought a 32 gtr and am looking to put new wheels on it but have a couple of questions I hope someone on here can help me with:

1. Will 19 x 9.5 +30 fit under the guards and clear the struts, or will there need to be some modifications done?

2. Does any one know how much a standard rim weighs? ( no tyre )

Unfortunately the car is not at my house so I can't measure distances etc and like many haven't quite grasped the offset concept yet.

I assume because the standard (16x8 +30) are the same offset as the rims I'm looking at that, they will just be .75 inch closer to the strut and the guard?

Cheers

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
