its amusing to see how scared Skyline owners are of fitting decent rims..... the ns boys cant get enough.

Yeh i hear ya Trent, wheels need to be sticking out to Fcuk well camber and even spacers, Pitty i just bought wheels, Oh well..... Good luck with the sale! :uh-huh:

different width front and rear on a gtr affects the attessea - spelling. if only they would fit on a gtst without much lipping/roling or guards.

Actually - the above is wrong.

ATTESSA takes input from front and rear wheel speed. This in turn relates to rolling diameter. It is therefore possible to use these rims by having different profile tires to ensure equal rolling diameter front and rear.

Personally I prefer to have the same width of rim and tyre to achieve this, but each to their own I suppose.

I do believe the width isn't such a problem, Its when you stagger 17" on front and 18" on da rear then the profile of tyre on top, and i'm pretty sure its all about the diffs being level. So therefore its all about the circunfrence of each wheel(tyre included) If they are the same then SHE no worry, In my eyes width is all good to be different, alsong as you account for the tyre profile.

would probably best consider widebody on a gts-t.

12's with 13mm offset will stick out rear guards on 32gts-t by a good 6cm or so. should be ok clearing coilovers though.

check out http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html for wheel-offset calculator to compare your current rims with these

man, these rims are pimp! suprised they haven't been sold yet

good luck with the sale trent,

(lol @ skyline owners are scared of decent rims!)

-tim

who cares? ;)

DUDE you should care! being the face of AUTOBARN!!! If no one on here wants your wheels, maybe they are just not as HARDCORE :freak: as you, which reminds me havent seen you slide for a while...........(what happend?)

i dont see what the differnce is if you have 265/35/18 on the front and 285/35/18 on the rear they are still the same profile hight 35 so same rolling diamater, correct me anyone if im wrong.

the profile is not an exact sidewall height, as tyres get wider in same profile the sidewall gets higher also iirc (its one way or the other), even though would make an unnoticable difference to the speedo the attessa still picks it up.

Thats my understanding of it anyway

The profile is shown as a percentage of the width.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
