Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines


Recommended Posts

car wouldn't be lowered, or ever so slightly.

would adjustable sway bars, front and rear help at all?

so the lower the offest number, the further it sticks out? So the +38's would go up front and +25's the rear?

i'd be thinking 265 the rear tyres, at least 255.

someone previously mentioned removing the inner guards??

The rears: 18x9.5 +38 is fine

The fronts: 18x9.5 +25 no way. U will have better luck sticking to +38 but will probably still be rubbing on the inner guards.

what bout +38 up front with 235's.

and +25 for the rears with 265's?

i read in a prev post about removing inner guards, would this be an option for the fronts running the +38's?

and is it dodgy to be running the exact same size rim for the whole car, for a RWD car?

+30 on the rears will stick out..+25 will stick out more!

Removing inner guards normally only required if you're lowered a fair bit. (dodgy)

lastly, your car came standard with same width wheels all round....its not dodgy :(

If you HAVE to get those wheels, then 18x9.5 +38 all round...235 fronts and 265 rears.

personally i'd try and use 8.5 at the front +30 max.

how would these fit on a r33 gtst that is lowered though not excessively

WORK XD9 - MAGNESIUM GUNMETAL -

5 X 114.3, 18 X 8.0 - OFFSET +28

5 X 114.3, 18 X 8.0 - OFFSET +28

5 X 114.3, 18 X 9.0 - OFFSET +30

5 X 114.3, 18 X 9.0 - OFFSET +30

yes yes, are rims able to be "modified"?

If the centre is free from the rim (bolted together) THE SKIES the limit, except for maybe your pocket.

We have a guy in Sydney that will make anything, into anything, but bare in mind that a custom wheel from him will cost about $400.00 each, so at $200.00 per rim (inner or outer) it might be cheaper to buy a new set custom made ............................. maybe?????????

I recently had these BBS Lorinser wheels modified. Had the 5 stud Mercedes pattern welded up, re drilled 4 x 114.3 & steel inserts fitted, 2 x new inners made widening an inch in and 2 x new outers to match fronts and all up it was less than a grand. I now have track rims (3 piece) and only need to replace what may get damaged, on each wheel. Not replace the entire rim.

Cheers, D

Quick Question:

Would These wheels fit a R33 GTST & what mods would be required to fit them eg. rolling the guards

Front

20 x 9.5 +20

Rear

20 x 10.5 +22

I think they would need abit of work but im not sure!

Cheers

Why don't you research what tire size your going to use and get a wheel they fit instead of arse about face.

On a 4 door Skyline why would you want 10" wide, V8 supercars are running 10's all round, why would you want them that big on a street car.

Seems like a huge waste to me!

Skyline model = 32 gtst

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width =8f & 9r

Wheel offset =not sure 30 something maybe...

Tyre size =235/40

Modifications to fit = i do have m sports wide body front fenders but the front would still fit if i didnt have them rears hang out the gaurds abit and i need to lower it looks like a 4WD now!

rear tyres just fit HUGE stretch!

Hi all. Just thought I'd post this up as I have these fitted to my R33 25t after a 6 month wait for tyres!

Skyline model = '97 25t

Wheel diameter =19"

Wheel width =8.5" front 9.5" rear

Wheel offset =+25

Tyre size =225/35R19 Front, 265/30 rear (Dunlop Spormaxx)

Modifications to fit =Rear guards lips rolled. I had 235/35 on front when I first got these and had too much guard rub up front. 225/35 has fixed the problem it seems!

For what you want -

Front

20 x 9.5 +20

Rear

20 x 10.5 +22

The front guards won't accomodate that size (rims would stick out about 17-18mm more than mine) , new guards, or pumped guards would accomodate.

Rears - small tyre stretched over may fit, but my tyres currently sit just behind rolled guard lip when suspension is compressed, to be honest I'm suprised they don't rub at the rear! I think the actual rim would just stick out past the guard. So with a slightly bigger rims being closer to the guard, I doubt strethched tyres would work unless your whale is ridin rather hi. Pumped rear guards should do the trick though, or grafted R guards.

    • 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.
