Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

That looks nuts Nisskid. Love it!

I have a 32 GTSt. Guards are rolled and pumped a bit.

I have Advan RS 18x9 +22 with 235/40/18 street tyres. They scrub a little but not too much.

For the track I use R33 GTR wheels (17x9 +30) with 235/45/17 semi's. No scrubbing at all when at the track.

if guard mods dont worry u, go the -4 and modify the guards to fit.

depends what tyre u wanna run tho, personally i think 8" is too thin for the stretch fitment as to stretch a tyre properly u need to go into the 100's like a 195 or 185, u can get away with 205's, but even then i think they are a bit thin if ur wanting to go fast. if its just a daily, or a street skidder, then the 205 will be fine.

Skyline model = HR31 Passage GT

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9" (front and rear)

Wheel offset = +15

Tyre size = 235/45R17

Modifications to fit = front guards rolled

could do with a ~15mm spacer on the rear.

Yeah I was thinking 205's.

These wheels are gonna be street wheels, gonna run my nismo rims as track rims.

for street then the 205's are fine, and its a common as fark size to get.

this is a close up of a 17x9 +30 on the front, will be fairly similar to a 17x8.5 +30

your guards may need a roll depending on alignment and suspension. mine was very borderline at the rear with stock arms (fair bit of camber). front i had no issues with, but that was because my suspension never compressed enough to really push the tyres into the guard. so i would try them on, and see if u can get away with them, if not get ur guards rolled and ull have plenty of clearance.

Skyline Model = r32 2 door

Wheel diameter = 17

Wheel width = 9

Wheel offset = +22

Tyre size = 235 front 255 rear

Modifications to fit = role heck out of guards. mainly because front of car is so low and rear tyres are too wide

hey guys been reading through this

need help

from what i gather (have a r34 gtt 2 door)

if im after 18s and want to avoid modifications, safer to go with 18 x 8s ? rather than say 18 x 8.5 or 18 x 9.5

will 18 x 8s also allow me a lower offset? from what i gather this would be the case? and this would mean a deeper dish effect? would this look good?

correct me if im wrong

also atm my car rides high at stock height, if i get rims i'd lower it a bit... does this help or detract?

cheers!

dish comes from distance between disk, and the outside of the barrel, this same distance determines the wheels clearance from the gaurd. if u just want clearance, go 6" wide with +40 offset. my point being u need to provide us with a bit more details, do u want the wheels to sit up near the guard? do u want wide tyres? etc etc

after speaking to a couple ppl, i've changed my mind, i am willing to roll the guards now

if i did 18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 9.5 back

would this fit on my car and with wat sort of offset, i was looking at +15 or +22 ?

regards to tyres i don't have too much knowledge on tyres atm but from what i've read here for the tyres im after im thinking 255/35/18 for front and for back 265/35/18

would this be a nice look withou being too bumpy a ride?

+15 and +22 would look tough, with stretched tyres and low car, but if ur just gonna sit at standard height and u wanna fit wide tyres, something like a +30 offset would work better.
