Wheel Offset Help For R33 Gts-T

[SeaNo180]

Heya guys,

new to the forum and the skyline series.

I understand that there is a skyline offset thread but i have an exam that i need to study for and can't research.. i also cant sleep until i have a selected offset haha

I am thinking 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears.

What offsets would fit my 33? I dont care if i have to run a little camber front and rear, and maybe even flare the rear guards by 15-30mm thats fine.

Any advice and pics would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Spoon feeding required, aisle 6!

Exam > wheel offsets.

You have gone this long without needing them. Just read the thread - there is more than enough information there to choose the offsets you want.

Whats the use of a technical section then if all you get is bored flamin mongrel replies?

PS Sleptema, i bought the car two days ago. I want to order my wheels asap so i have them on my holidays. Hence the thread.

That has got to be the single most Gen Y thing I have ever read.

Congratulation on the purchase of your new car.

I assume you managed that on your own without a thread spoon feeding you.

Don't be in a rush.

Problem solved.

Lol, you guys are hilarious.

Like me, i take it you guys have zero idea about wheel fitment for skylines hence your lack of knowledgeable replies.

Love this forum already!!!

[Ben C34]

Oh. Almost forgot.

Don't spend money on wheels seeing as you just bought the car.

Wait for stuff to f**k up, then fix that with your money.

Ben, money isnt the issue mate, and ive been building cars for 15 years now but thanks for the concern

+35 offset on 18 inch (235, 45, 18) wheels looks nice on skylines. The offset on most skylines is usually for brembo clearance though... Thats the only reason you'd actually worry about offset... the brake clearance. Not sure if they rub the guards or not on the GTST or GTS. Also camber = useless if you dont track your car, you will just end up with un-even wear man. But yea probs +40 max on 18s to be on the safe side (provided it isnt a GTR).


ooo And also, these guys do know a bloody f*** load about cars, they have a lot of experiences, wheels isnt really worth a discussion unless the situation is something unique, hence their responses Have a look through the forum, you will see very technical questions, things i dont even understand, and they answer it bloody well and true. But yea hope i helped you though, congrats on the car

Nope. Offset doesn't determine brake clearance, spoke design does. Standard turbo Nissan wheels from the 90s are 6.5"+40. GT-R's are +30.

If the wheels are a non-dish style (e.g. Driftek) then the lower offset is an indicator that it has good brake clearance (because the spokes would concave in more). You will have to look at the wheel backspace, it differs depending on manufactures (e.g. Rays wheels have heaps off room, compared to say a BBS knockoff).

Offset determines where the wheel sits relative to the mounting surface.

Oh my mistake it does too! I just realized my spare tyre has a offset of +45 or something, but a bulgy convex spoke design for brake clearance, looks kinda retarded. Ive just always used offset to determine brake clearance haha. Then again i never buy deep dish wheels.
