i read all of this and still don't have a clear answer. i probably missed it. so will any rim (in skyline stud pattern)17 or 18 inch diameter, 9 inches wide with a +30 offset fit?? or do u need a different width and offset front to rear. id like to have the same width and off set all round i can rotate the tires, but if i cant then i wont worry about it. or should i just use a narrower rim like 8.5 or 8 inch

That width and offset should be fine, Ray. R34 GTR wheels are 9" wide and are a pretty common fitment on Stageas.

If you've got an AWD Stagea, make sure you keep the same width wheels front and rear, or AT LEAST have the same rolling diameter at each end. That way, you won't stuff up your transfer case due to different wheel speeds at each axle. And, as you've already mentioned, you can rotate tyres without any hassles.

yes it is AWD. im planing on running 245s all round. height profile will depend on if i get 17 or 18 inch rims.

Edit: i found a set of wheels i like they are front 18X8 and rear 18X9 with an Offset of Front 35,Rear 38. will these fit?? im guessing they wont.

Im running 18x8.5 +18 all round on my S1 stagea with 225 tyres

Im not sure if theres any spacers etc as I only got the car last week so havnt had a chance to check it out.. but the rear seems to have a wider track than the front, or is this normal.

the front can actually take a larger wheel/.lower offset than the rear

I had to roll my fenders quite a bit ot get an 18x9+20 to fit well.

i haev an 18x9 -5 (wiht a 25mm spacer total of -5) on the front with a roll as well, but it fits the same as the rear

its a skyling thing, all skylines can have a lower offset in the front

hey mate did you have any pics? would be keen to see how that front looks ;)

+30 in the rear shouild be fine if your not to low

I had to pull the rear fenders a bit to get the 9 +20s to fit without a huge amount of camber

you can really fit anything you want on it. i had an 18x10+20 wheel on there, but i didnt pull the fenders far enough, so it hit the strut becuase of the amount of camber i was running.

Digging up an old thread here... but could somebody please tell me what offset I need for 17" x 8"? Car is a Series 2 RS-Four V (auto)...

I have sussed that the PCD is 5 x 114.3, the rim needs to be 17 x 8 to run a 245/45 profile tyre to match rolling radius, now I just need to know what offset to use. I think the closest match in the wheels I have in mind are +40... if I go to 8.5" width I can get down to a +35.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Thinking of putting these wheels on my stag: post-40162-1210843777_thumb.jpg

They are 17" Lenso's

I think they look pretty good and will suit my stag nicely pl,us cant really go wrong for $300!

My question is they currently have tyres on them are 215 / 45 / r17 (no tread), my current tyres are 215 / 50 / r17.... Will they fit these new rims?

Cheers

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
