Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yup, exactly what i did takz... went from a 400r bar to a GTR one and dropped the whole car an inch

couldn't be happier

SSR type-F on my 33 GTST.

18x8.5 +35 on front

18x9.5 +35 on rear

All good w/ no rubbing, no need to roll guards. A mild conservative fit I suppose you could say.

[alr33x]

yeah i get it joey joe.. but yeh just sayin not all wheels have disk types so then you need to be careful of your offset choice and rim style

[drift_dingo]

Hmmm 41 pages later and I've read 18x9 +30 will fit on the fronts of a R33 GTST25 and some say they won't.

I'm actully more worried it'll hit the upper arm on the inside than the guards as this one is sitting on blisten shocks with king springs. Back should be OK, got 9" on there now with +38

i have the exact same size wheels and yeah, they clear the suspension by a bee's dick. any wider than the 235/40/18 i have on there atm and i reckon it'd foul

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

thats a definate fit...

you have 1mm more clearance on the inside that i do on a 9.5 +25 w 235/40/18

and the face will sit 11mm further in

[HEKT1K]

there is seriously fk all clearance in there Hamish, does your wheel alignment give more room or do you just deal with it?

it will fit pending rim design, my 18x9 +30 didnt fit without spacers but they were deep dish rims. GTR wheels will fit no problem and u wont hit any suspension parts at all. ive got 18x9.5 +15 and clears no problems what kinda of rims are u going for?

*cough* rota g-force *cough* got them really cheap XD;; now just need to fix car (not dish rims very...not dish lol)

i'm running a little bit of positive castor and the fronts don't have much camber (basically a standard centreline setup).

no scrubbing at all... but as you said, fuck all clearance...

[alr33x]

rota g force will suit your purpose fine plus everyone needs thrash rims i got piaa rozza's which are uglier then ox arse but they serve their purpose.

hamish - fk all clearance is plenty you only have to start worrying when you have below NO clearence cos everyone loves a bit of scrubbing oh wait maybe thats just us westies

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

hahaha lol....

i rin nitto NT05's all round now.... go price those and see why i dont accept scrubbing

[alr33x]

yeh i duno what they are but im chewin the shite out of my pirrelli p zero nero's at the moment but i got em cheap so dont really care.. after tonight probly lost half my treat haha

[TaKz]

anyone know what is the highest offset to have 9.5 or 10 at the front that clears the suspension?

i got some 18x9.5 +28 with 245 tyre and it fouls on the suspension dont think stretched 225 will help?

[alr33x]

go 235 and maybe get a slip on spacer 2-3mm if u can should do the trick

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

that rim has only 3mm less inner clearance than what i'm running and with 235's i dont get any scrubbing

[alr33x]

3mm is alot not much space inside r33 arch at the front but he needs to work out what/where is hitting.

[TaKz]

it should be cool now just checked the tyres on the rims they are 245/45 so too much sidewall!

i couldn't mount the rims onto the car cause the tyre was hitting i htink it's called the lower control arm?

[alr33x]

stretch will solve ur problem
