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.

i have 235x35x18 on front 18x8rims

265x40x18 on rear. 18x9rims

stock suspension,brakes etc

didn't have to roll guards or anything

although im getting rid of them as they

feel to heavy on the little rb20 + auto

don't think weight will be a problem with my rb20/auto combo as the wheels i just bought tonight are Volk challenge F-zero rims and are lighter than teh stock wheels!!

thanks for the help everyone..

will psot how i go tomorrow when i go looking for tyres

i have 235x35x18 on front 18x8rims

265x40x18 on rear. 18x9rims

stock suspension,brakes etc

i think you will find you have 235/40R18 and 265/35R18

ok so what salad said was 100% correct :wave:

i have booked in to get 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tomorrow...

getting nankang NS2 tyres due to price constraints - bloody 18s are expensive to get tyres for!

thanks all for your help

i shall post when they are on to let you know how it goes with fitting..

cheers,

Warren

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

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
