No, u would need to run spacers. They are also a lil narrow.

9-10J OFF+12 to +30 is the range you should look for.

Skyline model = R34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5" front, 9" rear

Wheel offset = +30 all round

Tyre size = 245/40 front, 265/35 rear

Modifications to fit = none yet, need to roll the guards, and raise it about 10mm (got coilovers)

Scrubs going over humps and up driveways when your turning the wheel.. n bottoms out over large bumps :)

quick question.

I have a set of rims Fronts : 18x9 off +25 and rear are 18x10 of+40. What size tyres size to fit these? I dont mind lipping or rolling it. Car is quilvalent to an r 33gtr with brembos.

Its not recommended to run staggered rims on cars with Attessa (AWD). As they have a different rolling diameter, it would confuse the Attessa system

then can i put in 255s allround? Will the front able to fit the 255s?

because the rims are wider, the tyres will sit differently, ie the rear profile will be lower than the front. So u may need say a 255/35 @ the front and a 255/40 @ the rear. Speak to a tyre guy about the sizes.

But it is not an exact science, so u should run the same width /offset rims front and rear. Buy my old ones Manaray 18x9 +21 for $450 ONO lol

Some say it doesn't matter if you run different width rims as long as the rolling diameter is the same. When I did that, my attesa wouldn't work. Now I've switched to the same rim and tyre on all four corners and attesa works fine (no other changes).

235/40/18s amd 265/35/18s will have the same rolling diameter. Some manufacturer will be exactly the same and some will be off by 1mm. I dont think the attessa is sensitive enough to detect that. The manufacturers are Falkens and Maxxis.

bought some VS-XX wheels from japan to be fitted to R33 GTS-T

18 x 8.5 +26 Front

18 x 9.5 +26 Rear

I used the offset calculator with my drifttek specs

17 x 9 +35 all round

and it said they would sit 15mm out further on the rear and 3mm out further on the front. So i put 15mm spacers on the driftteks and they sat bang on with the guards....looks tuff...may need some guard lipping at the rear with 18's and a bit of stretch, does this sound right?

thanks guys.

Going from the catalog wheel specs that work provide, you have -

8.5 +26 are deep rim O disks... your going to need spacers to clear the front brakes. Possibly as big as 20mm spacers.

9.5 +26 are also deep rim O disks... *may* need spacers to clear in the back. Ive never tried to fit O disks on a R33 before.

This is going to make them harder to fit, but if your not scared of flaring and stretching tyres on it will look super hot. Can also dial some camber in to help fitment.

I'm getting rims from Japan

18x9 with +26 offset allround... what tyres would u recommend for the fronts and rears on R32 GTST (stock guards and rolled) also car lowered

cheers

I've got brand new 2 tyres 245/45/18 in bridgestone adrenalin RE001 but dnt know if they'll fit your rims. Happy to let them go for $550 ono. PM me if you're interested. Sold my 18 inch and got these delivered on 24/12/07. Paid $680 for 2 tyres after getting discount.

Will these rims sizes fit the 260rs which is equivalent to an R33GTR with brembos brakes?

Front 18×9J +25 5H 

Rear 18×10J +40 5H 114.3 

thanks

Will need spacers on the rear, but other wise should fit fine.

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 = R32 GTS4

Wheel diameter = 19"

Wheel width = 8" front & 9.5 rear

Wheel offset = not to sure

Tyre size = 265

Modifications to fit =

the rims are konig unknown

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
