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.

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.

+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 :P 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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
