Do you know of any 15" 5x114.3 inch wheels that clear skyline brakes?

**timbosaurus** · 16-09-2009, 10:49 PM

Hi WDE BDY,

Yes, I'm running the full 32 disc/caliper combo... so if it fits an R32, it'll fit my car

I read that the early falcon rims are about 0 offset. I'm not sure if that is true, but if so it doesn't work for me. The later falcon rims are much better offset, but not many in 15's.

Mookie, thanks for that link. Doesn't help a lot with wheels, but a lot of good info anyways!

No worries, it might be worth speaking to an engineer, as a mate of mine has a landcruiser with the stock wheels cut widened and rewelded,

**takai** · 17-09-2009, 03:54 PM

What sort of offset do you need timbo? Lots of datto gear in 15" +20ish. S13 stuff too.

**twentyEight** · 17-09-2009, 06:04 PM

Tim's building the same setup as me (S13 front - RN40 rear) and has +35 7" front, and +38 8" rear. Those offsets fit perfectly, so would need to be above +30.

Whilst most S13 suitable rims will clear the disc, they don't have a large enough X Factor (aka Brake Caliper Clearance) to clear the R32 Calipers.

S13 and Datsun rims are 4 x 114.3 also, so they don't really help unless multi-stud.

Ooops yeah, i was getting this thread confused with YLD-16Ls thread.
I think there was an R32 or R33 which came with 15x7 +38 rims. Might be 4 stud though.

1989 MX6 Turbos have 5x114.3 stud pattern and are 15's. I have a few wheels......
I dont know the offset or width.....
I guess I could go check for you.......
I will be back...
Pretty ghey looking wheels though, but so were the car they were on

**JoJo** · 18-09-2009, 03:49 AM

just checked, The tyres on it are 195's and they look like they could take alot wider. 215's maybe 225's??
Alloy wheel 6" +42 offset

Proberley not what your after....

**Bananaman** · 18-09-2009, 12:35 PM

The aftermarket 15s i have are to suit an mx6..

And yeah, early falcons have mor like 0 offset. My car fits an 8in wheel +38 under the rear guards, if you combine a 9inch wheel from an early falcon with said setup, you get this

**takai** · 18-09-2009, 12:55 PM

Fark, 8" +38 is tiny. The Supra looks weeny with a 8" +20 and effectively a 8mm spacer (extra disc hat)

Haha. A KE20 is also tiny, don't be forgetting they came from the factory with 12"x5" bicycle tyres

In other words my simmons would likely suit your car perfectly. haha. If i decide i'm not stupid enough to use them i'll let you know, but at this stage i think I am (stupid enough

)

**takai** · 18-09-2009, 01:02 PM

Haha, yeah, im not sure if i want to pay what you paid for them too. Im happy with my seemingly neverending supply of not great looking but $200 wheels.

Back on the topic, anyone know of OEM or very common 16x7 or 16x8 0 offset mesh type wheels? I want some for the rear of the Supra. Fronts in Skyline offset are easy to get, rears are harder.

**RT104GT** · 20-09-2009, 09:17 AM

There are a number of 114 offsets in 5 studs 15 inches but you might not like the design.

Datsun 300ZX 5 stud turbo rims will fit.

Simmonds will fit.

Nissan wheels of most 5 stud will fit.

They will mainly look very crappy

I have a set of Simmonds on a 280ZX but you would have to get new centres they are only 4 stud.
Likewise I have a set of 8 and 9 inch ENKEI from Japan but theyr are 4 stud all welded T6.

You could fill and redrill but it would be a terrible waste.

Simmons in 15" dont fit over 280mm R32 brakes. At least not the V4s, i have a set and have tried.

They're 16" aren't they?

What width and offset?

B45s V4s and F90s all in low offsets and 15" x 7" and 8" don't fit.

Others don't either. (B45s, V4s, and F90s tested.)
