Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

18x9.5+22 255/40 A050s all round.

Would not recommend without serious camber on the fronts, or pumping them hard. Chewed the guard hard on tight corners. Rears were fine.

Are you sure that's 9.5? I know semis are usually a tad wider but that looks more like 255s on 9"

I am looking at this myself as I was wondering if I can get close with 9.5 +27. I have -2.2deg camber at the front, and happy to roll and maybe even flare guards if the price is right to get it done.

As you have it, how close is it from being feasible?

Yeah they are quite large. I think 265 are supposed to sit sort of flush on a 9.5, but mine are still quite bulged.

Update on my fitment. I pumped/flared my front guards and had minimal scraping issues. Running maybe -2/-2.5 deg camber I should have no clearance issues with the current height.

any thoughts on 17x10+38 in the front?

I've already got this in the rear and it sits super flush with 265s and would ideally like a square setup so is this going to work?

obviously going to need some fender work but am i going to smash my struts?

cheers

Pretty sure that'll hit. You can measure it though :P.

not for another couple of weeks, i'm away for work and was hoping to put an order in so i can have them for when i get home  :banana:

looks like i'll just have to chuck the rears on the front and see how she goes, fingers are crossed

I don't think they will, I test fitted my old rears - 9.5+38 on the front of my 34 with a 15mm spacer and there was about 10mm clearance at most

10" and +38 would be up against the suspension I think

Currently using 9.5 +26 and have about 10mm clearance

that sucks.. not giving me much hope but i'll still give it a crack once i get home.

i found this:

http://honda-tech.com/forums/vehicles-sale-42/f-s-2001-nissan-skyline-gt-t-sedan-3175277/

rpf1's only come in +18 or +38 in 17x10 and that to me doesn't look like a +18.. it sits how my +38's do on the rear. i do however have a coupe not a sedan but surely the guards aren't 20mm wider on the sedans?!

also:

about half way down the page there is the 34 on 370z wheels. it looks as if he is running a square set up of the rear wheels and they are 19x10+30.

I can't see the first link being 10" wide all round at +18 offset, they seem to sit within the guard line!

I have a sedan, and the front guards are the same as the coupe, and the rears fit much the same as the front, maybe 10-15mm more clearance

The 370z rims seem to have a fair bit of camber to squeeze them under

Here's how mine fit at 18x9.5 +26, 245's on them. It's as wide as I'm willing to go as its a daily that I like to drive without smashing rims into guards etc

I couldn't get much more under the front with normal camber settings 577cfd20018b1_ImageUploadedBySAUCommunit

To add to the above post, I have 18x9.5 +27 all round, with 265/35/R18 AD08R (supposedly a little phatter than most) on all 4's. I have -2.2deg of camber at the front and about 1.5 on the rear.

The guards DO need to be rolled/pulled a little to get these to fit. After driving around for a week without this being done there were many bad sounds and long strings of rubber peeling off tyres and such. I don't think this would have been a problem if running 245's like above poster ^----

The rear does tuck in under compression (I have a large amount of squat in the rear of my car when on the fun pedal)

Lads,
I'm sure this has been answered previously but I can't seem to find the exact reply to the exact sizes I'm looking at.
Would i have problems running;
Concept Concave rims at
- 18x10 +20 all round
- 235/40 or 245/40 tyres
- Rolled front and rear guards
If not what would you guys recommend running? They stock 18x9 +20 also, would this be more appropriate for the front and 10" +20 for the rear?
I'm after an aggressive look that wont poke too much and id rather not run staggered but i also don't want to run Mexican spec either!
Sorry for the ridiculously pedantic requests but i can't seem to get the right answer and I'm stuck!

Help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

If it's for a 32 GTR, 10+20 will be perfect and can run a decent tyre size like 265

Hopefully someone here is an expert on wheels and offsets and can provide me some "real world experience and advice"

I am interested in acquiring a set of Rota RKR Wheels.

PCD 5x114.3 in 17 inch.

Issue I have is that I currently have a set of wheels that have printed the following 17x10 with ET 15 (doesnt state whether its a + or - ET 15) which fit like a glove! But are shit wheels

I am trying to figure out what my options are in relation to the Rota RKR offsets and what will work.

17x8.5 -10 or 17x9.5 -20

Hope someone can lend some advice on this

I can't seem to work out if a set of Rays LMGT2 17x9+16 with 255/40/17s  will fit on my R32GTR.

I've searched but can't find anything.

Has anyone fitted Rays LMGT2 17x9+16 on a R32GTR without rolling the guards? I'd like to avoid rolling them.

Any help will be appreciated 

Andy

    • some people are still around weirdly enough - most people just use facebook now to ask the same 12 questions tho XD  
    • Omg Rezz! Yep we're still here and actually seeing a trickle of oldies coming back.  How's things? 
    • So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy. 
    • Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.
    • Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
