Welcome!

Those sizes are fine, it's good enough for Nismo.

But, it depends on what look you are after.

Have a look here:

Thanks Man! Great threads to look at!

If your doing more mods down the track lowering etc I'd go more aggressive

Open to suggestions! I am not really going for major mods at this point... sort of just getting used to the car :D But who knows!

If you want to "stance" your car, then yes definitely need more aggressive sizes and offsets.

I see... well, I think I will just go for the "regular" look for now. I will not lower the car too much in the near future (our roads are rubbish!)

Will a 18 9x5 +30 work well for the rears?

Yes.

G'Day! Well, it is done:

Work Ultimate Kiwami 18x8.5 +30F wrapped in 235/40/18 and 18X9.5 +38R wrapped in 255/35/18. Bronze with red caps and lugs.

Thanks for the pointers, everyone! I will put up pictures when done in about a week.

Hello everyone. I am new to this page. Just bought my first skyline. I have a 89 r32 gts. I'm about to buy a set of wheels for it. I'm going to lower it after I get wheels and tires. Question is picking out the right size set up. Will 17x8 et25 work? Also what size tire should I go with then. Don't want to rub on anything. If that set up will not work can some one direct me in the right direction for set up that will work with out rubbing. Thanks guys

Are you using adjustable c/o's? If not and just using a sport spring and shock combo, you should lower it first to your desired ride height and go from there. Also remember that cambering in will change fitments too. For the question about an 8 wide with 25 offset, start at page one here on this page thread. You may change your mind on that size after reading more and seeing others fitments.

I will be using coilovers in the near future. It's just on stock suspension. I have looked through page 1-135 so far and I haven't seen anyone using +25. I'm not good with this type of stuff. I also didn't want a set up were my wheels stuck out past my fenders. So how do you think this set up would look on a gts? Good ? Bad? 17x8 +25 also size for front and rear tires?

Thanks again

17x8 +30 17x9 +35

Those are the usual sizes that fit.

Look up the offset calculator and then make measurements on your car to "see" how the sizes would sit.

Or, look up pictures of cars with R33 GT-R wheels (17x9 +30) and go from there.

Thanks for the reply. The only reason I was asking is because the wheels I want only come in those sizes. So you don't think those wheels will look right?

They'll be right. I run 17x9 (+25 or +22 cant remember for sure) and they are ok. They do not sit outside the fenders so your 8" wide rims should be ok

Well, after a little bit of an ordeal, the wheels are on.

Work Emotion Kiwami 18x8.5 +30 Front and 18x9.5 +38 Rear. Tires 235/40-18 Front and 255/35-18 Rear. No mods that I am aware of... yet again the car already had some aftermarket wheels (SSR, 17's) and since this is pretty much the only one here, I have no comparison point for suspension height. Guards are not rolled, I checked...

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
