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.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
