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

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
