Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[copycutter]

Anyone know what could make an r33 rear axle sit slightly over from where it should be? IE rear left wheel poked out, rear right wheel sunken ~25mm? Collapsed bushings?

something like that....has it taken a hit in the rear side on? usually moves the subframe but thats def where i would be looking!

have you had the car in for alignment checks?

[copycutter]

If that's the case is that repairable? I've had it into Pedders before for alignment and suspension install and they never mentioned it.

I took it back to them thinking one side ride height was off but he said it was normal, and then said the rear end looks like it's tightened off to one side.

Nissan factory.... although normally not 25mm

[copycutter]

Mine's pretty noticeable. One side poked the other side flush. Why would they have it this way from factory? Surely all the mechanicals are fairly well tightened down at Nissan when they're new.

[Frosty]

get it on a hoist is the best bet here

there was a discussion about this a while back and many R33 owners came forward and noted that their car was like this.

Seems to be something normal and unproblematic and not (necessarily) because or a kerb bash and subframe and alignment damage.

Tho not to say that this isnt the case with your car or some examples of this one wheel sitting out furhter that the other...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeh, it's all 33's but it's usually 10mm or so

[copycutter]

I don't have a specific measurement but it is a bit lopsided. I'll get it looked at when I get some more parts fitted. Thanks all.

[The Bogan]

Mine also sits about about 5-10mm difference.

I was rather paranoid about it, I've been told most 33s do it.

What are 18s going to sit like on a 34 gtt with

9.5 fronts +30 and

9.5 +12 rears?

Tires will only be

235 - 35 F

255 - 35 R

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

sure not 235/40?

will look good man.... just be careful not to pull the front guards at all when you lip them and give the rears a good nudge from way up inside and they should both sit flush

you would want to run a /40 tyre profile

[GH05T]

Ok, they have 35 on them apparently , (2nd hand) so ill have to factor that in, could be a miss type on his end,

[deva0o]

I'm guessing 17x8 +5 on the front of a 32 gtst won't have enough caliper clearance? My 16x8 +0 didn't fit my front without a 15mm spacer...

The 17x8 +5 in question a stich mesh wheels.

might be a 245/35 that's also reasonably common and will work but not quite as well as a 235/40... bombtrack is running them on his 9.5's with no hastles

depends on the brand...

with most jap rims caliper clearance is not affected by offset, rather by face

Thanks, you have a point, I've since found out that it would fit

[deva0o]

I've been trying to source a set of r33 gtr rims for my 32 gtst. What sized tyres would be good? I usually run 235/45/17 with my other set that are 17x8.5 +30, the gtr rims are 17x9 +30 if I'm not mistaken. Could I fit a wider tyre in the back than a 235?

That's what I plan on running on my 34 cept +20 rears, I measured the +20s should be flush... I plan on running very little camber though as im tryin to get 500hp to the ground!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I ran 9.5+12 with a low car (tyres just tucked) and 320rwkw... had very little camber on the rears and had to massage the inner guards a little to get it to fit with a 235/40
