The question of what wheel size fits what Skyline comes up so often I though this might be a good place to post your own wheel dimensions.

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model =

Wheel diameter =

Wheel width =

Wheel offset =

Tyre size =

Modifications to fit =

One of mine as an example;

Skyline model = R32GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = 35

Tyre size = 245/45/17

Modifications to fit = remove the front inner plastic guards, roll rear lip slightly.

:( cheers :)

Skyline model = R32 GTSt

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = 32

Tyre size = 235/45

Modifications to fit = Roll lip

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = R32 GTSt

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = 37

Tyre size = 255/40

Modifications to fit = Roll lip

Good work Sydneykid, now let's see all the R32 GT-R people posting!

Skyline model = R32 GT-R

Wheel diameter = 18 Inch

Wheel width = 9 Inch

Wheel offset = +24mm

Tyre size = 265/35/18

Modifications to fit = None

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = R32 GTSt

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +1mm ;)

Tyre size = cant remember probably 245 or 255

Modifications to fit = Roll & flare guards, stick out about 4cm from existing guards. needs a rear bar for them to look good... not good for defects..... almost needs widebody...

haha the rear looks like a AE86 drifter

Good work Sydneykid, now let's see all the R32 GT-R people posting!

Wheel width = 9 Inch

Wheel offset = +24mm

Tyre size = 265/35/18

Any idea how much clearance you have to the strut and also does it touch the inner guard lining on full lock?

Mine -

Skyline model = R33 GTS T

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5" front / 9.5" rears

Wheel offset = +30 front / +38 rears

Tyre size = 225/35R18 front / 255/30R18 rears

Modifications to fit = None. Car is on slightly lowered springs, very rarely will touch inner plastic guard when at full lock and hittin a pot hole at the same time <_< .

I think i've posted this link about 100 times or so in this section. But it's a very useful link.

http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html

Use this to enter the offset and width of you current wheels, then input offsets of wheels you will like to buy and it'll tell you how far it'll stick out compared to your old rims, and how much clearance you'll have with the strut housing.

(maybe sk you should add this to the top post)

Thanks for the link, the idea of the thread was to get the guys posting up their actual real world exeperiences all in one place. I don't know about anyone else but I have real problems with using calculated changes (one rim to another) to know whether or not the wheels will actually fit. An example, so it's 5mm in further, does that mean it will hit on the inner guard or not? Then there is the brake calliper clearance issues.

Thats why I wanted to have a whole heap of real world results for guys to look up.

:P cheers :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
