Work Wheels, +13 Fit R32 Gts-t?

[Justin O]

Getting some Work VS KF's for my R32 gts-t.

Just wanting to know if these are going to fit alright with the guards flared and lipped.

The sizes are:

F 18x9 +26

R 18x10 +13

Can anyone who knows or had simular experiences help me out?

Thanks

I ran 18x8 with 235s on the front of my 33GTSt, with +35 offset, 18x9 265s rear +35 (I think).

I reckon you'll struggle to fit the 18x9 +26 on the front unless running a narrow tyre like a 225, as they will stick out of the guards.

Similarly the 18x10 +13 is closer to GTR offset, so will definitely stick out the guards, by an inch or so...

looks like lipped and flared

they wont fit on a 32GTST without some SERIOUS guard work. and that's at factory height. if you are lowering too then i say you will be hard pressed to fit them at all.

There on a wide body S13 atm. The front gaurds are a tiny bit wider then the 32's. Was going to take it to a hot rod shop to get flared and lipped. Herd they do it the best. My car is currently 11cm high + gonna run spacer for the fronts, so ive been told to do.

Thanks for the replys.

yeah, you'll have guard problems

these are some 18x10 +11's on my rears (with flared guards)

(i put them on to test fit, i dont' drive it like this...)

can't remember what the fronts were, but you'll probably have similar issues...

Look up the offset calculator and it'll tell you all you need to know.

That looks hot as mate! Shoulda left it that way!

P.S. Sorry to be off topic, but did you paint over the 4 door lights to make them look like 2 door lights? Or is it some type of plastic cover? PM me with the reply if you like I am keen to know how you did it.

These are the wheels.

Alex rekons spacers on the front will do it.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

those VS-KF's that alex has require spacers to clear the brake calipers on S13's with 5stud / r33 brakes. Not sure about skylines, but probably a similar story there. If you are keen on those wheels, tell alex to test fit them on tim's car (that's me)...

They fit andrews car (g-four) fine with 20-25mm spacers i think.

So, what were the offsets for the rims on their own? and what size spacers? subtract the width of the spacers from the offset, and you have the correct offset, then use wheel/offset calculator.

damn those wheels look sick. to make them fit the key is stretched tyres and a BIT of negative camber. ive got 18"x11" (not sure on offset) with 235 tyres on my r32 gtst. believe it or not but they dont even scrub with a full car. heres a pic
