looking at a set of wheels for my R32 GTSt

my car is the stock ride height with stock calipers/discs

wheels i'm looking at are:

front: 18*8 +32

rear: 18*9 +40

will they fit without modification to the guards?

PS i have looked through the stick where people are posting offsets etc. but was still unsure!

thanks,

Warren

i have 18x8 +30 and 18x9+38 and they fit, didnt need to lip guards, but i have anyway, wouldnt hurt to.

basically, your rims will stick 2mm further in than mine and on the rear there is PLENTY of clearance to the strut and on the front there is about 10mm clearance to the upright, so you will still have enough clearance

The only potential issue i can see is the inner rear rim fouling on the end of the tie rod end cover. Not a major issue as it can be removed with no consequence to give an extra bit of clearance.

I have about 5mm clearance to the cap with 17x9 +35, so a +40 will be borderline.

all fits well with no toruble of any kind on the front or rear

apparently rolling diameter is out by 6-7mm so shouldn't be a problem :happy:

also, 9" wide on the rear just fits inside the rear guard.. i might think about getting the guard roller to be safe, but it definately fits in stock form

this is all with standard suspension / ride height

thanks to all for your help, especially salad :P

cheers,

Warren

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
