Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

Steve you nailed it with fitment!

Should be putting in my order for the 18x9.5 + 22 rims this week or the next.

Cheers dude! I have to admit I was worried when I was selecting the fitment without test fitting anything, and buying them outright. But I was so glad when I saw they were almost 100% perfect!

Hope everything goes well for your car and fitment!

Has anyone ran 255 wide tyres on the front of their GTS-t ?

I'm currently running 275 rears and 245 front on R33 GT-R rims on my R33 boat. I honestly do not like any stretch (it's my OCD) and down the track just want to run 255 all round the car (tyres came with rims) for rotation etc..

I don't give a rats about hellaflush btw

I ran 265's on the front. A guard roll and removing the liner and some camber and it was sweet. That was with 18x9.5 +22.

255's should be no problems

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

sweet, thanks Simon!

I've been reading this thread and it seems everyone just stretches tyres over rims... to me, that's silly.

[Manuel Kasko]

Stretch is where it's at

Stretch is where it's at

just buy not as wide rims? lol...

I prefer natural fitment, like natural C cups rather than silicon if you know what I mean? lol

[dori34]

all the cool kids are stretching tyres these days...

[jjman]

and damn they look cool in flashing lights on the highway

I don't mind a bit of stretch when applied to the right car. You can't always just buy rims that aren't as wide because then you lose dish or the concave looks some people desire. That said, it looks so much better on an s-chassis than a skyline.

[sleptema]

On the right car it suits. I think if I was running 265s on my 10.5s, it just wouldn't sit as nice. I don't see why there is need for discussion here - it all comes down to personal preference. If you don't like it, whatever. If you do like it, whatever. Everyone is going to have a separate opinion on the matter, but no one opinion is right. I dislike Work Meisters, I think they are disgusting looking rims. Doesn't mean someone else can't love them and put them on their car.

Hey all just have a quick question to ask. 18*10 is the rim size. Have two offset sizes to choose from and they are +40 and +22. What tire sizes can I run with each offset size with as little camber as possible and a guard roll? I want to run as wide a tire possible on the rears. Will these fit in the rear of an R33 gts-t with 275 tires? If so where will they sit using the guard as a reference? If no what will have to be done to make them fit? .

+40 will make the rim sit very far in, with big tyres it will most likely be rubbing on your suspension arms.

+22 will be fine for inner clearance, with removing the splash guards up front.

You will have to run camber front and rear, and will need a guard roll.

On the rear it will stick out with 275's unless you run a fair bit of camber, the fronts will be the same.

^ Yeah.

They are very weird offsets to have. You almost have both extremes on the scale, too far in and too far out. You would be better off running the +22 because the +40 will most definitely rub. Running 10's on the front will also present issues with turning on full lock in regards to the front liner. Your rims will sit around 10mm outside the guard on the fronts, and about 5mm on the rears. Decent fitment, but you will need to run camber up front and stretch the rears.

Hey fellas nothing about small wheels in here.

Got a r32 gtst just wondering if a 16x8.5j + 18 will clear front brakes?

Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply. you guys are the best!!!! The fronts are fine just the rears I am talking about the rears. The fronts are 235 40 18 +25 9 inch wide rim they will fit fine. Just the rears I wanted to know which offset I can run on the 10" rim to get the widest tire possible to fit with just a roll and minimal camber. What is the widest tire possible I can run on that wide a rim with those two offsets?

i had 9.5 +22 with 265's all round, and on the rear i had 7mm spacers, and with that it sat flush, although i was running a fair bit of camber on the back.

With no camber it would have stuck out. And you'll have to roll the guards.

I'd probably run 265's on the 10 +22, should fit easy with a guard roll. Also 265's are easy to come by
