need to get some feed back on what people think about the situation im in tomorow, im selling a set of 18x10in wheels tomorrow for another set of 18in rims, but i got word today for the same price as the 18in wheels im going to buy tomorrow i can get a set of 19x8 all round. with 255/30/19 rubbers. now the problem is i think i want to get the 19s but when i spoke to the guy at the tyre place im buying my wheels, he wants to do me a package on 20in wheels for a couple of hudred dollars more then the 19s.

now im stuck thinking should i get the 19s with 255's or get the 20s with 235 rubber.

i get wheel spin with 255s and am worried that the 20s wont have enough traction for my car.

looking for some feedback on what people would choose so i know when i get there tomorrow what wheels to choose.

ive spoken to alot of ppl about the 20s i have for my car

they have 245s on em atm

eveyone has told me to get them widened and put 285s

you would only be able to do this if yours rims are 3 peice though

i think 235s are too small so go the 19s unless the 20s are 3 peice

the 255's are on the 19s and 235's are on the 20s, i dont think they are 3 peice but ill find out tomorrow, i think the better option is to get 20s for show and a seperate set of 16s with slicks on for the creek

Can anyone help on what size offset and PCDs I'll need for a Skyline R33?

I'm looking at buying a set of 17" Buddy Club P1 Wheels and I'm abit stuck on measurements and stuff I need?

Give me a hand plz someone.

your PCD is 5-114.3

GTR's require dish.

To late for a refund? :P

gtrs do look good with a deep dish, but unfortunaly in 20s you cant get a really deep dish wheel. will take some pics and see how i go, if it doesnt look good, will have to buy another set of 20s that have at least a little dish if not a big one

wreckedhead, those 20" wheels are pretty much rice wheels since they have 235 rubber. They are more show than go. I'd say stick with your old rims, or go the 19s. If you wanna go 20, get something decent. I'd say with at least 255 or 265 rubber. Also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. 20s for cheap? must be poor quality and really heavy. Something typical of tempetyres wheels, cheap and nasty.

actually the rubber is 245, which is standard on r34 gtr's, and you cant fit anything bigger under the normal gtr gaurds as im about 3mm from scraping metal. also i like your comment about you get what you paid for, there might be a differnce between my cheap and your cheap.

but just so you know they arnt heavy and they a tempe tyre special wheel.

with my 20s atm they are 245 and everyone i have spoke to have told me i can fit 285 and that i shouldnt go any smaller

these guys are speaking from experience as well so its not guess work you just need the right offset

im getting new outers made for my rims to push them out to 285 on the rear ill probably stay 245 on the front

heres a pic of my rims ;)

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
