I'm interested in buying some R34 rims for my '90 240sx. I was just wondering if anyone knew what size are the rims. Are they 17's or 18's? Thanx

Don't get these wheels unless your wanting to flare the wheel wells!! They fit fine in the rear, but unlike the s14's which have lots of room up front the s13's aren't able to accomodate these wheels unless a 8mm or so spacer is used. If your looking for a skyline wheel I'd suggest the r33 ones. They are 17.9. Not sure of the offset though. But do know they fit with no problems.

haha let em know Orrin.

Hey how big of flares will you be doing? Also are they bolt on flares or are you having the metal cut and formed? Doesn't look like you would need too big of flares to clear those wheels. :25drool

Hehe yeah I'll try!

The whole reason that I'm doing the flares in the rear was that when I did the front conversion, it made the front end wider than the rear, kinda like the honda s2k. So what we are doing now is using metal and forming a fender to look like the rear fenders on the skyline R34, funny enough, it should flare as much as 1.5-2". The pics in those photos, the alignment was a touch out. So the wheels are sticking out alittle more now. We feel its the only way to keep some of the lines flowing on the car. I was oringinally wanting to do a flare like what the e46 M3's have but after long debates have decided that the if we flare the rears like the r34 it would look the best. And at that time, we are also going to flare the front just alittle more to have more wheel travel. I can only imagine what size wheels I'll beable to run after all this flaring is done! The front is already so much wider than factory...
