Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[sleptema]

this is bad advice! Not to mention these are illegal

Because slamming your car and having rims poking 10mm outside the guard isn't.

Hub centralising spacers are fine for daily use - if he told me he was tracking it I would have said no.

clearly you have no idea what is good and bad when it comes to suspension/wheels but im not going to get into an E fight with you...FYI i bolded that section of your quoted text for a reason!

let me know when you have some experience in suspension

[Frosty]

How would fitting xxr002 16x8 +0 go for a r32 gtst coupe with 205/50 tyres? I'm wondering how brake clearance would be and if spacers would be needed. I have a guard roller and adjustable camber arms.

brake clearance shouldnt be an issue.....pretty agressive wheels tho! pics when fitted

[deva0o]

Brake clearance is an issue just fitted the rears with ease but unfortunately looks like I need around a 10-15mm spacer for the front.

[Frosty]

dont fit over the caliper?

[deva0o]

Won't fit over the front calipers. Knew itd be an issue but was being hopeful lol, time to buy spacers

he's got you there damo... you said illegal, which having rims out of your guards is

[Frosty]

not at all and only if its more than 25mm

Thought they would have fit easy, i have 15x10's on my 33 and they fit no problem

yeah im a little surprised but im guess spoke style and prob the inners are smaller than 16

[copycutter]

Definitely spoke style. My 18 x 9.5 +38 wouldn't clear calipers up front but the 18 x 9.5 +20's would. Same type of rims.

The lesser offset rims have way less aggressive spoke curve on them.

Chaps,

After reading through 115 pages of this thread, I have a bit better of an idea of what sized wheels I should be looking at, but this question is more R34 GTT specific.

I'd like to run

18 x 9 +20 Front (235/40)

18 x 10 + 12 Rear (245/40)

I currently only have Blitz ZZ-R coilovers fitted, but open to comments about what other kind of suspension components needed to run this setup.

Cheers,

Shazza

no issues with the coilovers there. Will need to lip the guards on the rear but the fronts will be no issues. would help if you had rear upper adjustable camber arms but shoud be able to squeeze them in without too much hassles

[Shazbanger]

Hi Frosty,

Thanks for the quick reply. I intend on getting a set of rear camber arms, and front eccentric camber adjustable bolts for adjustment regardless.

Would a 255/40 fit on the 10" wheel on the rear, without much issues?

Cheers,

Shazza

[ahhbee]

rears are fairly aggresive, i run a 9.5 +15 all round and would not want to go any wider on the rear.

If its not too much trouble, you wouldn't happen to have some pics would you?

Thanks mate.

255 is a big tyre you would want to run a smaller tyre unless you go mexican and run camber but then defeats the purpose anyway. if you look at my signature the one on the right is a R32 with 18x9.5 +12 all round with 235/40 an the GTT is roughly 15mm wider each side in the rear

The wheel and tyre must be contained within the body work or mudguards (including any flares) when the

wheels are in the straight ahead position.

do you have a link to the code, as far as engineering a car goes they need to be inside.
