rays Ray Wheels for CKV36 2008 Skyline 370GT Coupe

[protik]

Hi guys

Looking to update the existing OEM wheels and tyres for the base model CKV36 2008 Skyline 370GT Coupe. Appreciate if someone could advise on the following:

- OEM wheel and tyre: Does the following OEM spec look about right?

• Front: 18x8 | 5.x114.3 | ET43, D66, 225/50/R18
• Rear: 18x8 | 5.x114.3 | ET43, D66, 245/50/R18

- Ray Wheels: Considering to purchase 57XTREME SPEC-D or 57XTREME STD SPEC:

• Which wheel model / part is most compatible with CKV36 in terms of just bolting on? 57XTREME SPEC-D has a +38 offset but it seems a +22 offset is needed for CKV36? Whereas it's unclear whether 57XTREME STD SPEC +42 offset would be compatible in terms of caliper clearance: 
• 
• What's usual price for a set of these and what would be the best way to source these wheels?

Tyres: Currently the vehicle has 245/45/R18 Bridgestone Potenza on both front and rear:

• What tyre size would fit well with 57XTREME SPEC-D 18x9.5 +22 5-114.3 in terms having an OEM fit / clearance? I think my current tyres would poke out by +21mm.
• Which tyre brand would be a good upgrade over the stock tyres in terms of handling / performance?

Brakes: Currently has DBA disk rotors. What breaks do you guys run with the V36?

Thanks in advance!

Hey mate

 

Long read but yea, I can confirm that  9.5 + 22 all around will sit super flush with lowered suspension as I've ran that set up 

However if you can afford it look into 19" wheels.

 

Feel free to pm me as I have photos of the car on 19x9.5 +22 all around and my other set up of 19x9.5+22 front and 19x10.5 +30 rear. 

 

Tyre sizes on the 9.5 are 245/40 all around. Other sizes seemed to put the car in limp mode.

Hi Protik. Have you got your new wheels? If yes, I'm wondering if you still have the OEM wheels and willing to get rid of them. Let me know. Thanks.

@HThiauw I din't end up getting the new wheels back then but planning to swap out the OEM wheels in a few months. Good to PM me and discuss further.
