Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

Recently bought a 33gtst s2 and looking for some wheels. I found a set of 18x9.5 et35 just wondering who else has run this spec and any clearance issues or mods needed?

If you searched this thread you would have found that out.

Skyline model = R32 Skyline GTS-T 4-Door

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9.5

Wheel offset = +38

Tyre size = 245/35 (This is a must...)

Modifications to fit = None, but it would be recommended to get some wheel spacers, I am thinking of running 2.5 in the fronts just to push them away from the suspension just a tad as it's a bit close for my tastes.
Stock suspension, fenders have not been touched what so ever.

Has anyone had the A disk on a r32 gtst with R33 gtst brakes on it?

I have A disk meisters with r32 gtr brakes on the front, clears the calipers no worries.

O disk rear.

What offsets? Any pics mate?

18x9 +22, 18x9.5 +24, they're on a c35, a mate had the same size on a 32 gtst, but needed more camber and guard work than the laurel, pic maybe not relevant haha

O disk doesn't have as much curve in the spokes to get around the caliper.

Pay to check on the work site but you'll see certain sizes and offsets available on each disk.

Thanks mate!

I run 18x9.5 +11 O disc rear and 18x9 +18 R disc front. This is on a 33, not a 32 but I have no issue with clearance

general rule of thumb:
If you want stock-ish fitment,

8 to 8.5 +35 front
9. to 9.5 +38 rear
These are Nismo sizes for RWD Nissans.

From that baseline, you grab a tape measure an figure our where your new set of wheels will fit.

@Adz2332 please specify what car you have, what body panels, and what modifications you will be running.

 

GT-R owners like me have it easy, but RWD owners, have a bit more calculations to run.

 

You can obviously run "GT-R" sizes, which would be 9"+30. But that heavily depends on your preference.

This rant is completely ignoring any StanceNations specs/looks.

32 gtst. Stock panels but don't mind pulling them ever so slightly as it hasn't gone to paint yet. Stock arms etc with coils.

I was hoping I could get any of the specs below to fit the front to

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
    • Yes that sounds right. Cars currently in the shop for the engine work. Will need to remeasure .. but yes I think I must be targeting 45cm from fender.
