Been on here a while, don't post very often, but lurk around.

I currently have Rays Engineering CE28N's on my 34GTT, which I believe are 18x8 and 18x9 unsure of offset.

I am thinking about buying new wheels but I am unsure of what offset to fit, and if I can fit under the guards. I am thinking something a great deal more aggressive

Keeping in mind my guards have already been rolled, in Japan.

Was thinking of getting these Rota Grid-R's in these offsets, but perhaps there is a better suited offset on the website.

18x9.5 +18 front

18x10 +15 rears

Would like similar fitment to this, maybe perhaps slightly less aggressive.

My question is how far can I push the offsets?

Also will 18x10's fit under my R34GTT, or is that pushing it too far for the rear, and perhaps 9.5 is too much on the front also?

Cheers in advance,

Michael.

There is a huge thread dedicated to offsets for skylines here - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/84208-wheel-sizes-offsets-for-skylines/

But in short, the 10+15 will be too wide unless you plan on aggressively flaring your guards. The 9.5+18 will still be very aggressive, but if you want to give up some function for form, camber will make them fit. I have 9.5+20 with around -1.5deg camber on the fronts and they still poke around 10mm.

Thanks for the reply mate, I had checked out the other other forum but didn't find anything close to the specs I was looking for.

Yours sits pretty well!

9.5" will be the way to go then, with +18 or +15 offset, this whole business confuses the hell out of me.

Cheers,
Michael

Basically, the lower the offset (the +18 part), the FURTHER out the rim will sit. So if we compare 9.5+30 and 9.5+10, the +10 will sit 20mm closer to the guard than the +30.

And just to confuse you, this number is dependent on the width of the wheel - so 9.5+22 is the same as 10.5+34 (as you are adding an inch of width, the offset is 12mm higher because 1 inch = 12.7mm)

Use this website - willtheyfit.com to chose the offset right for you. There is plenty of information on that thread, you are not looking hard enough.

Judging by your profile, what you want is the lowest offset with the widest wheel width, combined with the narrowest tyres size.

SO like a 185 wide tyre on a 10.5" wide wheel, because it'll match your bumhole stretch.

Complete shot in the dark, but did/do you know someone called Micheal Tran?

Mate to start with take your current wheel off & your offset should be stamped or written on the inside and width. Then go online and find a offset calculator, it will asked you to put in your current specs then it will tell you were your new wheel specs will sit. Remember if it's not aggressive enough you can always add spacers later. But you can't go back .

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
