1997–2002 · saloon
The C35 Laurel is an RB-engined saloon, mostly rear-drive, from the same era as the R34 Skyline, and the turbocharged Club S is the version most often built for drift and street use. Factory wheels are small and sit at ET40, so owners usually fit 18s and find the rear has more room than the front.

Read these before choosing wheels for the Laurel: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.
A street-driven C35 owner on the Driftworks forum runs 18x8 and 18x9 wheels at about ET35 with these tyres, and adds 25 mm spacers to fill the arches. The same poster says a car with rolled arches could take 9J front and 10J rear.
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.

These tools start with the 2.5 Club S / Club S Type X, 16-inch front size. Choose your own trim or axle in the calculator if it differs.
5x114.3, with a 66.1 mm centre bore and M12x1.25 wheel nuts.
The Club S grades have 16x7 ET40 wheels with 205/55 R16 tyres. Medalist and other base grades have 15x6 ET40 with 195/65 R15.
One owner runs 18x8 ET35 front and 18x9 ET35 rear on 215/40 R18 and 225/40 R18 tyres, and still uses 25 mm spacers to bring the wheels out to the arches.
Nissans of this era commonly share the 5x114.3 pattern and M12x1.25 nuts, so the wheels bolt on. Check the offset and width against the C35's tighter front wings before buying.
