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...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
