Need help with wheel offset please !!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

i bought this set off rims and tyres for my 33Gtst but i assumed that it's more for a GTR than a gtst. ( If it's for GTR then GTR boys get your $$ ready if you want it :wassup: )

Its' VolkRacing Daytona JJ, front is 17/8 PCD 114.3 OF+45 5 H BMT

rear is 17.95 PCD 114.3 OF+40 5H BMT.

I could be wrong with the numbers as it was dark but otherwise everythings that i wrote here was right.

They VOLKRACING symbles are at the front but the sticker say RAYS ENGINEER at the inside so i assumed that RAY make them, if so then are they LIGHT WEIGHT? I went to Volk site but i couldn't find it, maybe its too OLD.

Another thing is Tyres are GrandPrix M7R, are they good?

OK it was 45 for front and 40 for rear, took a closer look today. The rear fitted perfectly, excepted for the FRONT. Touch just a tiny bit on the capliper ( DAMN ).

The R33 GTSt offset is +38. +45 sounds like a wrx offset. Do you know what car they came off?

It can never be for a Rex because it's 17/ 91/2 at the back and 17/ 81/2 at the front.

Anyway i'm taking it to THE TYRE FACTORY see what they can do. Properly they will put SPACER in it, you guy reckon? Is spacer legal in VIC?

I don't want to let go of this set cos' i like it. And yeah its' does feel LIGHT.

did you buy those rims off firesport?

No, i bought it of this guy David who owns a Mini Me of Nigel supra, it almost identical to Nigel's one but it's none turbo so i call it like that :headspin: .

And yeah the offset is 45 compare to standard skyline 38 so i don't understand why it touch the capliper a bit, maybe i should move it around and stuff.

I told nige about that supra when i first say it a few days after the autosalon earlier in the week and he was determined that it was not the same orange :P

With ur wheel spacers, it is illegal to have them floating they have to be bolted to the hub.

Be carefull with the tyre factory especially the dande one as they will tell you abything to sell you something.

Rays are the manufacturer. They make all different brands of rims eg. Nismo, Versus, Volk and Gram lights just to name a few. I've seen those rims before on a 33. Not sure of offset sorry. They would be at least 4 or so years old.

Might sound silly but have you just tried fitting them??

Yeap i have, it's the support behind the spokes ( the six spokes ) that touch my capliper, i need around 3 or 5mm. The rear sit perfectly its just the front that is :headspin: .

I got the whole set for a G, jus found out the tyres alone on them worth more that a G but it's not just that, i really like it therefore i've tried at a lot of places inclued one Engineer place to see what they can do but it seem like there are no lucks guy so it might have to go on the for sale section.

It seem like spacer is the last option that i have. Anyone here have/experience spacers please pm me or anyone know WHERE TO GET THEM.

Not happy Jane. :mad::(:mad:

It can never be for a Rex because it's 17/ 91/2 at the back and 17/ 81/2 at the front.

The offset has nothing to do with the size of the rim. Where you are right is the fact that the PCD of your Volks would not fit a Subaru. Subaru generally have a PCD of 5x100 which I failed to pick up on... However, Lenso agree with me on the offset :mad:

    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.    
    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.
