Hi there fulla's.

Real keen to get some 18x10's (at least!) for my 32 GTR.

Completely undecided as to what type just yet, but aside from this, was just wondering if any of you guys have "stretch" fit semi slicks to your wheels?

By what I've read on this thread so far it seems as if stretching tyres isn't as popular over in Australia as it is here in NZ but thought I'd ask anyway.

I've got some Bridgestone RE540S 245/40/18's just sitting in my shed and wondered if I could put them to use on some 10's.

Obviously 245's will go onto 10's, and I used to have 235's on 10's on my old Cef, so the size thing I don't imagine being a problem.

The question being I guess, will semi's stretch?? Or are the side walls on them just too hard compared to your joe average street tyre?

Anyone had experience with this?

semi's dont like stretch, as u mentioned due to sidewall stiffness, cant give u a definitive answer, but i have fitted 215/45 potenza RFT's to a 17x9.5" with bead seats that are hard to seal (harder to stretch), it just took a lot of tries with the beat blaster.

just make sure u find a shop that has a bead blaster/baby elephant in case they dont go on normally.

Hey guys, currently got 225/45/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. Kind of clueless about all these tyre and wheel sizes and i'm trying to figure out how far off my speedo would be. I have an R33 GTS-T. Whats the stock tyre and wheel size? Wheels I think are 16x6.5 but what about the tyre? Should my wheels have some kind of marker for there size? Unknown set of Racing Harts. What are the effects of running different size tyres and different width wheels front to back?

Cheers

hi nisskid

mate....need your help on this....m new to skyline and have found a wheel that i really like. had put in a topic on this but stil confused with all it.

now this is the wheel i have chosen. i have a stock r34 gtt. nothing done to it in regards to engine/suspension mods.

AfterburnerBlack.jpg18 x 7.5, 18 x 8, 19 x 8, 19 x 9.5, 20 x 8.5, 20 x 10

these r the sizes....

could you advise me to the correct size that i will require. will look at lowering the car later but for now its all stock.

will be appreciated

thanks

anyone got pics for ref of 18x9/10 +20 on a 32 4dr? also of 17x9 +18? Got a few sets of wheels to be tried on the new car soon :D

ive got a few pics that u should be able to work off:

17x10 +20 with 255/45 (with a 235 or so and dropped down, it would have slid in under the guards nicely):

17x9 +16 with 225/45

need offsets mate, also there is no "correct size", once i have the offsets i can tell u what will fit, and how they will fit, but it's up to u to choose what u want.

Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17inch

Wheel width =(F) 9inch (R ) 9inch

Wheel offset =(F) +17 (R ) +17

Tyre size =(F) 245/45(R ) 245/45

Modifications to fit = Still standard (needs lower profile tyres hehehe)

would look sick, guards would need a roll, but run with something like a 235/40 would look mint.

Awesome :cool: I just bought some Rays CE28N, only bad thing is ive already bought tyres in 265/35 ;) Ah well we all know they wont last long anyways so ill wrap some 235's on em next time ;)

Hey just after some advise.

i have a 34 4door gtt, at the moment she just has stock rims and standard guards about to get sum work emotions xd9s in the metal coat.

i want the 18x9+30 front and 18x10+38 rear wanting to get as much dish as i can but hearing different things from everyone sum say it will work sum say it wont

these are the tyres i've been told will fit 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 front and 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 rear

at the end of the day dont want to be caught out with nice rims that i cant use!!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
