Im having trouble finding a 2nd set of wheels with the correct offset for my R32 GTSt.

Can R31/32/33/34 owners who know there wheel details, diam/width, offset front to rear, & post for others to read. Also maybe mention if stock ride height, or approximation of how much lower than factory.

Im looking for 17 x 9 rears but to date all have stuck out way past the guards. Maybe i should be sticking with 8" wide rims.

I cant find the offset listed on my wheel so dont have a starting basis.

Anyway, im running with no clearance problems:

Car R32 GTSt

Fronts:

17 x 7 , offset ??? , with either 215/45/17 F451s or 225/40/17 DJ-01s

Rears:

17 x 8 , offset ??? , with either 235/45/17 F451s or 245/40/17 DJ01s

My car is lowerd approx 35mm all round.

But if you are going bigger and wider than factory should you still maintain the same offset?

:stupid:

And thanks for the link meggala, I should know to check your site by now :slap:

ive got 17x10s

and its low as hell 9.5cm to the ground. and 255s, i dont need to lip my gaurd yet, maybe when i try wit 275s on.

i dont know the offset but my rear wheels have much more of a dish compaird to my fronts (17x7.5)

i would measure the offset but its too hard due to having to find the center of the wheel then measure to the center of the wheel, hard to explain but i cant measure it accuratly.

I've posted this a couple of times now .......but here goes again

17x8.5 offset +30 with 245 40 fit nicely on front or rear of R32 GTST and R33GTS25T

17x9.5 offset +40 with 255 40 are too big for the front of street car, fit fine on rear of R33 with stock suspension, need 5mmspacer with coilover. Fit fine on R32 with slightly lowered susp and rolled guards + needed stick on wheelweights on inner rim.

18x8 offset +31 with 235 35 fits fine front of R33

18x9 offset +34 with 265 35 fit fine on rear of R33 with stock susp. or coilover

factory for R32 turbo and R33 is 16x6.5 with 205 50 offset not known

Ronin 09 Flair the guards ....and dream on

personally I think at the rear ... the bigger the better, but on the front ...really wide tyres spoil the feel of the car and promote tramlineing etc. Micks R32 with 245 40 Pirelli on 17x8.5 at the front is truly horrible. My R33 with 235 35 on 18x8 at the front is nowhere near as bad but both cars feel a lot nicer with stock 205 on the front . I think 225 would be about right on a 7ins rim.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • 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.
