Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[skyline_house]

Eii guys looking at getting XD9s on my 32 but not sure which size to get. I want to fill my guard as much as possible

18 X 9.0 - [4-100, 4-114.3, 5-100, 5-114.3 / +20, +30, +38, +43]

?

18 X 10.0 [4-100, 4-114.3, 5-100, 5-114.3 / +18, +38]

Just wondering if 18x10 +15 with 225 tyres will fit on the rear of a gtst with only little lowering with coil overs no camber arms

Cheers

i tried a 18x10 +12 not long ago. with a 225 and a little more camber it could be done. at the time mine was set at -3 degrees. id say with some guard love it 'could' be done

225 tyre on a 9.5 or wider rim just looks stupid.

Hey guys, I'm going to be completely honest here. I don't know shit about offsets... So I need to ask you guys this question.

I have an R33 1993 GTS-T and I want to fill my guards... I want at least 235 on the front and 255/265 on the rear on an 18 inch rim. What offsets would make that fit without spacers and make it fill the guards? I don't mind if I have to roll them either.

i got away with 30offset 9.5 all round, but the front is tad too much in my opinion, better with more on front so you can turn the wheel and not scrub. The inside of the rim is scrubbing the strut on a full lock so ill need spacers..

hi,

after reading through this posts, i'm considering getting a set of rim - 245wide rubber with 18x8.5" 25mm offset front , and 285wide with 18x9.5" 29mm offset. I have R33GTS and sitting about 345mm from center to the guard. Can someone please confirm this is possible without guard work?

Thanks

got an r33, have coilovers,

getting a set of work vsxx rims orr Mr Eps (oooh namedrop)

17x8 +40 F

17x9 +40 R

i'm thinking of 15mm spacers all 'round?

i just want them sitting flush, maybe sitting out a little.

would i need my guards rolled?

what is a good offset for a r33?

might not be the right place but i figure you guys would know, where can i get quality spacers?

you'll need guard work for sure,

both front and rear? rolling guard or have to flare?

Also if i'm going with +40 offset for 8.5" Front & 9.5 Rear, would it help and not touching the coil over?

Thanks

40offset is very conservative, no problem with that offset, those specs done easy

could go 9.5 on back with 30offset, that be filing up arch, front id say 9inch with 30 offset, will need rolling on back and front still id say,

the front becomes an issue when you want to go up a driveway and the wheel has to turn and come up into the wheel arch, full lock hits the strut.

depends what your after really

in your opinion which is better setting where minimal or no body work in the options i have available? note that the car is sitting 345mm from center to arch so that it's not low, about 25-30mm lower than stock height.

available option 1. Front 8.5" 25 offset with 235wide rubber, Rear 9.5" 30 offset with 275-285 wide rubber - rolling guard to F & R needed? hits strut?

available option 2. Front 8.5" 40 offset 235wide rubber, Rear 9.5" 40 offset 275-285wide rubber - rolling guard not needed? hits strut?

available option 3. Front 8.5" 30 offset 235wide rubber, Rear 9.5" 38 offset 275-285wide rubber - rolling guard not needed? hits strut?

Thanks for your help.

this is a tuff question, all i can do is go off whats on mine which is the 18 by 9.5 with 30offset all round

Ive just measured mine and ive got 323mm at the rear and 329mm at front, that the distance from center to the arch.. so mines bout 15mm lower and i have very firm tein coilovers

Id really recommend rolling your arches , its bout $50 an arch and then theres less hit and miss with all the options you've gave, atleast on the front because when you try and get up driveways and odd angled entrances etc, on a steering lock your wheel arch might dig into the tyres.

On the front , 40 offset is safe, 30 offset should be fine, and 25 offset borderline, should all clear the strut ( assuming you dont have rolled arch and the suspension a bit soft and a tight steering lock going up a driveway) if you roll the arches , all are fine

On the back, 30 offset you'll have to stick with 245, might get away with no rolling wont hit strut

38 and 40 offsets you'd go 255 , with rolling 265? shouldnt hit strut

Hope that helps a little, on my car the rim is about inline with the arches so i think its about the limit of offset, but others might say otherwise.

feel free to correct me if im wrong anyone...

yeah i will roll them!

between i have super street tein coilover, not overly firm but firm enough.

look like i will go front 8.5" 30 offset with 235 to give it more aggressive look. Rear 38/40 offset with 275/285 to give me more traction.

Currently i'm running 8.5" rear with 255 federal rsr and is very close to flush with the guard. Just had a look, it seems like about an inch on the inside.

do you think 275/285 is possible?

i think 275 is more GTR tyre width, pushing it i think,

so if its flush now with 8.5 rear , it'll come out another 12.5mm so even the 255 will be close.

dont buy them and dont run spacers they are shit specs.

best combo to fill ur guards and look 'ok' is 8.5+25 and 9.5+30 you can run much smaller tyres that will fit just fine with minimal stretch a 235 fits a 9.5 easy

its also worth noting depends how low you sit/want to sit.

wtf u need a 275/285 tyre for? unless you have 800killerwasps thats overkill

i want 275/285 to give more traction. as mentioned i'm running 255 fed rsr. used to have 280 rwkw and the 255 was fine with 2nd gear... but since upgrade the turbo i have problem with traction, in 3rd gear i have no traction until it really warm up and which just give a bit of chirp. hence only go wider rim for more rubber.

the wheel arch is not quite big enough to allow that width, you'd have to have the guards modified, 255ish is about the limit, maybe 265 with a good roll and pulling on the arch, and that would be with a 40offset not a 30, so it wont fill the guards as much as the 30offset with 245, 255 possibly??

[zoom]

thanks mate, look like for now i will have to settle with current setup with 255 on the rear. will look at pulling/flare the guard if i need to go wider.

[alr33x]

i had 18x10+20 on the rear with a 265/35, rolled guards and cambered of course. Wouldnt do it again though hate big tyres.

that would of came out alot hey.. i cant imagine getting much traction with more camber than the standard,
