GENTS THE MOST URGENT OF HELP IS REQUIRED......

im about to purchase some rays sebring, heres the details

18 x 8.5 +40 front

18 x 9.5 +45 rear.

will these FIT A 94 GTST.......................help me ladies and gents!

Depending on whether you prefer the wheels to stick out more, or sit nicely in the guards. However, with those offsets, the wheels will be sitting right inside the body, and it might look a bit weird.

Not only that, as someone has already mentioned, because of the widths of the wheels, such a high offset may cause clearance issues on the in-side of the wheel, ie: fouling on suspension components.

I would say that the front will very likely fit, but the rear is anyones guess.

A safer, and better looking offset (in my opinion) would be anything between +36 and +30

They'll fit, but....

I've got 18x8 +42 all round ('94 R33 GTST). There's about 5-10mm clearance inside to the upright on full lock (need to get out and measure this properly), and rears have about 25 mm clearance inside.

Mine looks anorexic though, which is why i've been trawling threads like these for the last 2 months trying to work out best fitment for a new set.

The lads are right, if you're going to get new wheels; might as well get a lower offset.

If it helps, here's what i've measured on my car:

Fronts

Hub to flush with guard ~84 mm

Rim edge to flush with guard ~24 mm

Inner clearance ~8mm

Rears

Hub to flush with guard ~94 mm

Rim edge to flush with guard ~34 mm

Inner clearance ~25mm

You should be able to use these numbers to see how different width and offsets will sit in relation to the guards and suspension using one of the offset calculators on the web. I'm pretty sure these numbers are accurate, but I hold no responsibility if they're wrong! ;)

Finally, in my opinion for what it's worth, don't shell out for those Rays unless you've really got your heart set on them. The fitment won't be that great.

18x9.5 +15 with a 235/40 18. guard lip rolleds up 100%, camber is set at - .2 with whiteline camber arms, about 3mm off guard, will put camber to -1 before the next track day. front is -2.5 camber, hits guard liner, no big deal

Do you have any scrubbing on this, i dont have any camber arms but i hope i can the same sizes ok

The post is right there, how can you not read..

You will need camber arms for this exact fitment, if you don't, you are going to have to raise your car a lot for your fronts to clear. And he said there were no scrubbing issues except for the front liner. If you are lucky, you will have coilovers that allow up to 2deg camber, then you can do this without camber arms.

I run 18x9.5+12 all around. You will need to get your guards rolled all the way and pulled slightly. I'm not running any camber arms it's stock suspension apart from coilovers.

You might need to remove part of your front / rear guard lining. You might get slight scub on full lock shouldn't be an issue. I didn't have that issue as all my guard lining has been removed. It depends on how low you want your car.

Skyline model = R34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9.5 fronts, 10.5 rears

Wheel offset = +22 fronts, +30 rears

Tyre size = 225/40 fronts, 245/40 rears

Modifications to fit = Guards rolled all round, coilovers to drop - not needed though. Can probably afford to slam the car a little more, but happy where it is for now. Poking about 3 mm all round. Perfect fitment in my mind. No scrubbing issues, except on full lock - fronts hit the liner, which is no issue in my mind. Will upload better pictures when I get the chance.

wont need the camber arms... the front guards are soft as all hell and will easily accomodate 9.5+15 w 235/40 if pulled enough

thanks mate for an informative reply unlike some people here which seem to be having their period this month

I said IF (->IF<-) you wanted that EXACT fitment you would need camber arms. Sorry for me trying to help you, ungrateful douche.

^^ Looks awesome mate, keen to see more pics of the car further away to see what it looks like. Also, are your rear lights tinted?

Yeah they are.

I have a track day today. More then likely there will be some nice shots of the car from afar. I will get some good ones up later on in the weekend. Fitment is almost perfect [=

^Mate, looking good. keen for more pics, needs moar r34 :P.

In other news, figured out my offsets a while ago, just haven't had any time to consider it further... so busy these days, sigh. They should be 17x8 +35 all round, with 225/45 tyres all round I believe.

Recommendations for some spacers size for some flush fitment? (Guards will be rolled if going flush).

Safe but as flush as possible fitment with those rims, I would go 25mm fronts, (30mm if you are daring, still won't poke as much as my rims if you do go 30, but you will be close.) and for rears 35mm would be very close to my fitment as well. Factor in some camber for when you drop the car, and she should sit quite nicely.

And yes I do know my car is dirty and has swirl marks, etc etc. Working on it.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
