Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[Frosty]

^ stupidest idea ever! 285 on an 8" rim is useless and slightly dangerous! you have majorly compromised the handling of your car here

Just about to purchase nitto 555 tyres 245/45/17 currently running maxgrade 245/45/17 and car is dangerous to drive

shits me i cannot get the 10.5 with the wheels I want. what does a 10.5 +30 translate to with a 9.5 inch rim. What offset should i get to match the same flushness as a 10.5 +30 wheel.

Skyline model = R34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9.5 +22 fronts, 9.5 + ??????rears

10.5+30 = 9.5+17

Anything from +15-20 will look nice with natural camber from low.

Does anyone know if JZA80 turbo rims, 16x9 +50 offset will fit on the back of a R33 GTST.

I need some 16 x 9 rims for drag duties.

I was using R32 GTR 16 x 9 +30 with 255/50 16 Mickey T"s, but found that I needed too much height in the rear for the tyres to clear when launching.

Or any other 16 x 9 rims that will tuck in with the tyre setup.

Thanks

you can always throw a spacer in there...

[ARTZ]

Just put the rims on only just fit, will be rolling the guards.

Question, how close are everyones tyres to the struts, looks a little to close???

Will 265 help that much??/

offset 40+

Thanks

looks fine..its not hitting ....so what are you worried about...dont matter if its 15mm or 2mm...clearance is clearance

18 x 10 +22. Only lightly rolled here. Needs a semi decent roll not to scrub, moreso need less castor as wheel hits on front bar...

only if you dont have enough power to turn them!! or if your a commo you have a stock rim on the left side

[Jasonr31]

haha these are my rears on the front, usually have an 18x9 +22 up front which will be perfect with extended lcas but got a flat the other day. Rears there are like 17x7 +30something gtc's

I got a mallet and a heat gun

Worked for me

"worked"... Save time effort and potential for damage and don't be a tight @ss

No damage.

Actually I didnt have the heat gun and gave it a smack with the hammer and cracked the paint a tiny bit.

But if you just user a mallet + heat gun you should be fine.

Every place that does it for $50-100 a corner says "50/50 chance paint will crack"

So I mean what have you go to lose?

[The Bogan]

Use a block of wood wrapped in a towel, a heat gun and a rubber mallet, I had mine professionaly done and they cracked the paint, me and a mate done his with the above mentioned equipment and it turned out fine with no cracking.

You need to do it in stages though.

Save the money for beer.
