what is a good offset for a 18*8 rim for a R32 GTS-t also was thinking of having 235/40/R18 fronts and 265/35/R18 rears. is this a good idea

thanks

if you want 265 on the rear go for 9' wide on the rear,

anything with an offset between +30 and +38 will be fine (if i remember right stock is +35 front, +38 rear)

Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

ne here rollin on 20's ? or are u all on 17s and 18s

Skyline model = V35 Sedan

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 7"

Wheel offset = 45

Tyre size = 215/55/17

Modifications to fit = Non car is stock at the moment.

Have you tried to buy 20" wheels in the right width and offset for a skyline or any car for that fact.

I am looking to fit

Front 20 x 8.5 +35 245/35/20

Rear 20 x 9.5 +45 275/30/20

So far have only found one set but everyone at the office thinks they are ugly.

R33 GTSt

Wheel type= Rays Gramlight 57S

Wheel diameter = 18''

Wheel width = 8.5 Front, 9.5 Rear

Wheel offset = +30 Front, +38 Rear

Tyre size =235/40/18 Front, 265/35/18 Rear

The car has stock suspension, no mods to fit; no rub on front at full lock, rears still fit in guard no overhang at top. No need in really going much bigger on a R33 GTSt but that hasn't stopped any one before. whatever, whatever.

everyone at the office is correct

Not the help I was looking for but everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if they only have 17's :laughing-smiley-014: .

V35 350GT

Wheel type= BSA Wheels AU 213

Wheel diameter = 20''

Wheel width = 8.5 (F) 9.5 ®

Wheel offset = +35 (F) +45 ®

Tyre size =245/35/20 (F) 275/30/20 ®

They fit with no modification, no rubbing on full lock and turning in on driveway. Ride is not harsh conering is better (obviously) rolling diameter is so close to original it doesn't effect speedo or acceleration.

Pic's to follow later.

Hi guys,

Just wondering how 18x9 +25 front and 18x10 +25 rear would fit on a R33 GTS-T?

How much modification to the guards would be needed, a bit of rolling, possibly some wider front guards?

I have seen these sizes and offsets fitted to a 180sx which I believe has 25mm wider front guards and rolling done on the rear. They fit nicely, stick out a bit at the rear end.

I would imagine an R33 would have more room under the guards than a 180sx, especially at the back?

Cheers

yes they will fit!

Will these fit on the R32 gtst?

I dont want to lip guards and will i have any troubles with scrubbing?

Looking for wheels which will cause no legal problems :)

R32 GTST

F: 17x8 +30 with 235/45

R: 17x9 +30 with 235/40

front wheel (stock offset 25)

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 18mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 8mm

back wheel (stock offset 38)

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 5mm LESS

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 21mm

Thanks

I've got 17x8 and 17x9 with +30 offset front and rear.. 235/45/17 all round

so, front will be fine but rear u need to lip and flare the guards (if car lowered)

How low can i go without scrubbing?

Curently have some shocks/springs which may drop height down to 340mm

Rekin, that "clear r2 indicators" link in your sig is broke...

link fixed now :)

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
