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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
