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:

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9894/dscn9843mr0.jpg

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.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
