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

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
