Hi Guys,

anyone know off hand what width and size (15 or 16") wheels should be used with the gtr fenders? are the front's usually different to the backs?

thanks

Kent

They came out of the factory with 14x5.5J steel wheels.

But I dont think this is what you're wanting...! Usually, the GT-R mockups in Japan wear Watanabes, 14 or 15" and usually wider at the back. I had great fun asking advice from everyone way back when I was looking for wheels!! I ended up with 14x7.5 and 14x9.0 - I dont think much wider on the rear would be physically possible though... What you want to pay particular attention to is the offset - only "deep dish" kind of wheels will fit I think.

hmm.. wish i knew a little more about offsets etc..

found a set of 15" watanabe RS's for about $200 a rim, just trying to check what the PCD is on them.. any idea what sort of offset i will need (though i am sure it will be different according to the brakes etc.. especially since we are customising the brakes , i know i know.. no easy answers )

Kent,

Ideally in RS-Watanabe's, (from the rs-watanabe website)

Suitable;

Fronts: 14x8 -6 Rears: 14-8.5 -13 or

Maximum Recommended;

Fronts: 15x8 0 Rears: 15x8.5 -6

Fronts: 16x8 0 Rears: 16x8.5 -6

thanks Michael,

great help! fingers crossed they will match the stats now

only problem is, if they are right, we might have to drive to melbourne to pick them up

No problems, be sure to keep us up to date on the wheels and whether they're suitable enough!
