how many mm spacers? Does the guards need to be rolled? Thanks agian

If it was my car I would be running a 20mm bolt on and flaring and down sizing the tyres to fit. Assuming the rear guards are very similar to that of a r33. I believe rolling is a must do for any wheels you buy, but yes I do think it will need to be done.

But to get them to fit with out alot of major work best way to work out what you will require is to use washers stacked on top of each other on your studs till the wheel no longer fouls on anything, then measure the width of the stack and get spacers the same width.

hmm never thaought of uding the washers before to measure the spacers needed. Good tip!! Will try that. So i guess once i got the rims and before i go out and buy some wheels i will need to figure out the spacers first?

Hi Guys

Just a thought about branded rims available, i notice Breytons or Carllson rims looks really nice on Continental car like the Mercs or BMW. Are the offset the same to fit an R34 GTT since they also hv 5 lug. Notice the Lexus do share the same sets as the conti's though Wald is a Jap brand. http://www.wald.co.jp/news/back/200706/sab/s33c_2/index.html

Appreciate feedback.

I have modified your post to what I think you meant.

But yes once you have the rims jack the car up, put it on stands and work out what spacer your going to need. To get the wheel up to a similar point to where it will sit when on the ground, use another jack under the rim, throw a rag between the wheel and jack to protect the wheel. That way you can work out the amount of stretch and flare required or not required. Id dare say you may be able to fit the 10 with out any work possibly.

Again if this was me fitting them the 10's would be recieving 235 tyres and spacers to get the stretched tyre to just clear the guard lip, this method will require less guard work then running bigger tyres and have the wheel itself outside the car more (the look I like). I have noticed however on this site that people tend to use bigger tyres then I would, ie 265 on a 10 etc.

Its all up to you and the look you want,

opps sorry for the confusion. Yea what i mean are the tyres. As for the rims sizes, i was just actually following what the hyper rev mag refers at the stagea demo cars. But the offset is little bit different. Yea i will certainly try the method you mentioned before i go out and buy spacers and tyres needed.

Im planning to use the Sumitomo HTRZ2 tyres. Pretty good price for them too. Not much difference from Nexen in terms of price wise.

I have some questions for those with 33's. Im hoping to fit some 18 x 10 +20 on the rear of my newly acquired 1998 series 2. But I need to know the inner clearance available. The 10's according to my calculations are going to go back over 234mm from the hub face. Im no concerned with the distance out over from the hub, I expect to have guard work to fit them (dont believe in buying wheels that dont need work to fit). Just need to know if the inner clearance is big enough.

Hopefully some one can have a look/take some measurements for me,

Neil

Hi Guys

This may sound a bit odd but...

Has anyone tried R34 GTT rims (7.5x17 e40) to R32 GT-R?

Also i understand that GTT has these rims all aroud - confirm or correct me please.

On paper it looks like they may fit but i´m little unsure

TIA

I have a 1990 Nissan skyline GTS-T Type M

I am getting a staggered set-sup, and DO NOT understand offset...

I am getting 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear

I dont have my rear fenders rolled. any suggestions on wat offest I should go with front? and rear?

Thanks very much

Well just fitted some new wheels to my GTR

Skyline model = R32 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18in

Wheel width = 10in

Wheel offset =+18

Tyre size = 265/35

Modifications to fit = Rears are rolled but i think the wheels maybe rub still with to much weight in the back

the rears will need to be rolled regardless of the offset, 9.5 is a very wide rim, if u get enough stretch on your tyres you might JUST tuck +30 under the guard but i would get something like a 17x9 +17 or something like that would look alot tougher :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Skyline model = R32 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18in

Wheel width = 9.5

Wheel offset =+12

Tyre size = 265/35

Modifications to fit = Rolled the rears, remove the front liners and bent the tabs in.

they still dont fit right, the rears stick out past the guards, so not legal :D

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Jd...in-t205654.html

I am looking at buying a set of these wheels for my R33gtst, by looking through this thread I see that 8.5 x 18 are generally offset +30 front and +38 rear but cant seem to judge if 9.5s would be the same or if they are even a good option. Can anyone shed some light for me?

Skyline model = R33 GTST

front

Starcorp rim

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5"

Wheel offset = 38mm

Tyre size = 235 x 40 x 18

Modifications to fit = nil - plastic insert still installed. Height of the car is ~355mm centre of wheel to guard (SK's kit)

rear

starcorp rim

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = 38mm

Tyre size = 265 x 35 x 18

Modifications to fit = needed to roll the rear guards to prevent scrape. Height of car ~345mm centre of wheel to guard

standard brakes front and rear.

interesting that even when it was 15mm lower than the current height it never scraped with the Cusco coilovers (8kg/mm rear), it's just that all my fillings fell out.

cheers

around +40 should put the wheels pretty much dead on with the guards with around -1 degree of camber, if running a 255+ you may need a guard roll. with 18's you can go higher offset at the rear as it will clear the rear toe arms unlike 17's. for the front i would run around a +30 to be safe, around that kind of inner clearance ur looking at fouling issue with the upper control arm.

what u guys reckon about this.. 18x9.5 +17 for r32 gtst?

i have 17x9 +30 at the moment front tyres are 225 and rears are 255 and i have no problems at all!

cheers

if your game for some guard pulling go for it, this is a 17x9 +16 with a 225/45 and -2.5ish camber, if you run a 225/45 on the 9.5" u should be able to make it with a decent roll and -2ish camber.

heres the 17x9 +17:

Skyline model = 1989 S3 R31 sedan

Front wheels = Custom Made ROH adrenalin 3 piece wheel

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +/- 0, now with 25 mm bolt on spacer, so effectivly -25

Tyre size = 215 x 45 x 18

Modifications to fit = Heavily flared front guards done with roller (2 inch flare) 3 deg camber (S13 coilovers), stretched tyres, 10KG front spring rate

Rear wheels = Custom Made ROH adrenalin 3 piece

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +5

Tyre size = 225 x 45 x 18

Modifications to fit = Even Heavier flared guards done with 20 pound hammer, and copious amounts of fibreglass and filler/ 8KG rear coilovers with dampners wound up, super stretched tyres.

Car is very low, and Id have maybe 3-5mm clearence on the rears, a little more on the front. But she still doesnt scrape anywhere.

I have 19x8.5 +35 front with a 235 tyre, fits nicely, i do how ever have rolled guards.

Rears are 19x9.5 +38 with 265 tyres and rolled guards. I may get the rears guards slightly pumped so that i can lower it a little bit more.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
