Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
On a supercar, wheel weight is one of the few remaining places to cut rotational mass without touching the powertrain or chassis the factory already optimized. Forging gets there at the same structural margin as the OE wheel, which is exactly the trade a car built around outright performance rewards.
The Nismo Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Z Tune ships from the factory on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 66.1mm center bore and a F 18x10J ET25 / R 18x10J ET25 wheel. Our flush reference for the Nismo Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Z Tune is F 18x10.5J ET18 / R 18x10.5J ET18.; our maximum aggressive reference is F 18x11J ET15 / R 18x11J ET15. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Nismo Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Z Tune OE Wheel Specs
The Nismo Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Z Tune ships from the factory on 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels with a 66.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is F 18x10J ET25 / R 18x10J ET25, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
Flush Fitment
For a flush look without any body modification, most Nismo Nissan Skyline R34 GTR Z Tune owners run F 18x10.5J ET18 / R 18x10.5J ET18. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
Owners chasing a more aggressive stance push to F 18x11J ET15 / R 18x11J ET15. Sachs race suspension; 18-inch Nismo LM GT4 wheels; Brembo GT 6-piston brakes; Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (F: 265/35 R18, R: 265/35 R18). Note: The ultimate expression of the RB26DETT engine (Z2 2.8L twin-turbo, 500 hp); extremely rare hand-built masterpiece (19 units). Clearance should be verified before ordering, especially on lowered cars.
