Hey members

I am pretty new to wheels & tyres and hope SAU member can help me by giving ideas.

question is what size (offsets) spacer can be fitted on standard R32 GTST wheels to make it bit more wider (close to body line) instead of changing whole wheels & tyres. and best place to get them..

I love idea of changing them to more nicer wheels but I thought it will stil look nice even with stocked wheels if fitted bit more wider as I would like to keep my 32 as original as possible. and I would like to know if any one done it like this??

or do you think it will look wider body celica or camry?? :P

Cheers~~!!

well, stock r32 offset is 16x6.5 +40, gtr is 16x8 +30

^ i think the above is right but you might want to check

so... quick calculation means 32gtr rims stick out an extra 29mm, so 30mm spacers should make stock 32gtst rims look like you have gtr ones, which in my experience fit fairly well on gts-t guards, so go 15-30mm spacers

But...

DONT rely on the above, look at your stock rims, and take a measuring tape to them and see where the edge of the rim will sit with 15mm or 20mm or 30mm spacers on them..... you may need to roll your guards.

Also... keep in mind in most states spacers are illegal.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
