Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

[Cadmoon]

Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8" front 9" rear

Wheel offset = +30 front +35 rear

Tyre size = 235/45/17 front 255/40/17 rear

Modifications to fit = none, not lowered (would probably have to roll guards if lowered to far)

Nice and flush.

34 gtt. Definitely going to run a 235/40 now as I'm realising the front is going to be a tricky fit.

I'll just have to put up with it until I convert to wide guards

just run 235/40 all round.

remember that a good quality 235 is gong to give you more grip than a shitty 265... it's not all about the width.. I used to run 300+ on 235 nitto NT05 with great traction (well what you can call great for 300+ rwkw

also the fronts are an easy fit... just need to massage the guards and remove the liners... took me like 15 mins to roll the fronts for that size

just wondering can it be dangerous tracking a car with 9.5inch wheels with a 235/40/18 tyre fitted?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

hell no.

legal minimum for a 9.5" is 245 and 235 is within specs for many manufacturers....

this means it's tested not to fail

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

having said that I wouldn't go much smaller and try anything track but drift

just dont want the sidewall collasping on me on a hard corner. I may have to get 245 to be safe then but how much bigger is the 245 than the 235 on the sidewalls "5mm"?.want little to no scrubbing issues

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you aint gonna lose a tyre from a 235 on a 9.5"

I've happily driven a 300+rwkw car up mt buller road at 10/10ths with 235's on 9.5's

Would be more likely to un-seat the bead than collapse the side wall. Not good either way though.

ill push with caution and get better tyres to compansate

[boiracer]

you'll be fine, i got 9's with 235.....and they barely look stretched. an extra 12.5mm of rim aint gonna change that much

a 235 on a 9.5 isn't going to unseat the bead... it'snot a stretched tyre.

anything that de-beads a 235 on a 9.5 would have done the same to a 265

check that... the NT-05's that I used on the 33.

look at the 235/40 - it's approved by the manufacturer (in super litigious america) from 8.0 - 9.5

should end any arguments

Weekend teat fit showed that

18x9.5 /10 +15/20 has no chance on my 34gtt

Mad Mexican with no camber,

Hoping to have more luck with 18x9.5 +30 all round with 235/40.

Will stick out 35mm not 55, hopefully be able to make it work, unfortunately interstate so I have to commit and hope.

9.5 is a bit big for the front, should go a 9 with a 9.5 or 10 rear.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

18 x 9.5 +12 (guards same same 33 / 34)

guards pumped but not cambered to fit

[GH05T]

Same wheels as I'm getting if their varrstoens,

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

ya... over spending $$$ on rims lol

the evo has koya RG tek

[GH05T]

Weird how much 18x9.5 +15 stuck out on my 34. The tires were 235/40 and the top edge of the Tyre tread even stuck out past the guard. No camber and stock height but it was fairly gay looking. I should have taken a picture.

When u camber the wheels with adjustable camber arms, does it pull the top of the wheel in or push the bottom out, or does it pivot from the center of the wheel?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

centre.... but when you lower the car it cambers and tucks a fair amount naturally.

the guards on my care were pulled fairly aggressively, but not flared. the front guards are soft as... you can pretty much put them whereever you want

did you see the pics i posted 18 x 9.5 +20 at the back will be flush.If you want to have a bigger tyres to utilise the grip of a 9.5 then get a 30.
