What Is The Widest You Can Go For 32 Gtst Rims?


Recommended Posts

Depends what you are doing with your guards really.. If you are buying new you can ask for custom width and offsets. My rears are 18x11 Works :D Have smoothed over bolt on guards front and rear.

2nd hand the widest 18's I've seen is 12 wide. Wich are meant for wide body GTR's with Veilside kits or the like.

mad. thanks!

Hey,

As long as wheels and tyres are within the guards, and they are not rubbing (esp. fronts on full lock), then there shouldn't be a problem. That's how I figure it here in SA but it might be different where you are.

NB. The max width for any vehicle, IE passenger car is 2.5 metres. If you saw the latest issue of HPI, the huge butt Supra is 2.1m. That's wide enough me thinks.

Coolio. Yeah i did see "baby got back" lol i think it was mad! although the door handles looked a little difficult to get to... So how wide is a hummer then? I guess they would be about the benchmark for a passenger vehicle.

we've got 17"x13" on the kakimoto widebody r33, 18"x12" on the widebody R32, and 20"x12" on the widebody lexus

yes... we love our widebodys.

I think 10.5" is the widest you could fit under standard rolled guards, even then you'll be hanging out a lil.

All depends on the offset you get as well... no point getting a kilometer of "omg fully sick uleh dishhhhhhh" if it rubs on your suspension and inner guard.

what i want to know is who is we funky and how did you buy all these widebody GTRs? last time i saw you you were driving a non-turbo auto 32 GTS! lol times change...

we = guys at j-spec. lol they're not GTRs. both the widebody skylines are GTSt's.

And I've never owned an auto (cefpt for my old man's ceffy). SIF own an auto skyline!!!! it was a GTS though, but sold that a while ago.

no the rims aren't works... r33 has kakimoto rims, r32 has SSR vienna's, and lexus has fabulous.

ah yeah. i should have guessed. me bit thick this arvo and should have looked at your profile and noticed the absence of the word W I D E BODY. :D

well here's a few widebody pics from my private collection taken by me in japan a few months ago for some inspiration... now this is WIDE:

mmm i never cease to enjoy looking at those pics. :laugh:

Throw up a pic of those 17x13's Shan...

My younger bro has 18x10 +21 under his R32 with rolled guards. I'll put a pic up after it's finished at the paint shop.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
