wow wouldnt 9.5inch front be a little to big??

I dont think you will get a gd handling out of that.

But then i could be wrong!!

What size rubber you plannin to put on them??

You might have to roll your guards,,

9.5" will fit the back fine with 255 tyres without any modification. i think you'll find that 9.5" on the front will rub without modification. i have 8.5" on the front of my car and they sometimes rub on full lock.

where do u get the rubbin from the inner or outter side of the wheel???

and also wot is involved in rolling the guards??? i dnt get it??? could sum1 plz explain to me or give me a rough idea of how to roll the guards?? i work as a spray painter so i could do the work my self but i jst dnt noe where to start or what to do?

This is how guard rolling is done. I'd leave it to the professionals if I were you as there are not many ppl that can do it properly and you will run the risk of your paint cracking...not so much an issue if you're a spray painter. Oh and you'd be better of exchanging your fronts with 8.5...less hassle and cost to fit.

i still beleive 9.5inch front are way to big..

8.5inch max would be ideal.

i was gettin scrubbing issues with 235s on 8inch rim on the front at full lock. Just hittin the inner guard i think.. But thats easy to solve. Take the black plastic guards out lol..

Hmm i think tempe tyres does it as well lol..

no idea how gd of a job they do, but heard from few ppl on these forums that they got theres done there.

But try fitting your rims first then see whats needed.

you won't be doing urself any favours by having 9.5 all round on a GTST....ur steering will be a lot heavier not to mention more stress on suspension components, possible guard rolling etc...you're mainly concerned bout looks and not handling?

On a GTR yes.

i thought that 9.5" wouldnt clear the front due to caliper clearance. from memory, my 8.5" just clear the front calipers. oh, have fun with handling as well.

My r32 gtst has 8 inch wide fronts and 9 inch wide rears, with 225 and 235/17 tyres respectively. In my case, there is no way any wider wheels will fit with stock guards/no rolling etc.

Brake caliper clearance is another thing altogether, its not s omuch about the width of the wheel, but more the design of the spokes and the offset etc.

i see in the tyre thread that 604cerfiro fitted 17" and 10" wide front and 18' 10.5" rear. check out his pics is it possible???

10 inch rims on an R32?? Easy bro... just check out mine :O. And even better, it's on a GTS-T R32 not an R lol

Skyline model = 1989 R32 GTS-T

Wheel diameter = 17 inch Front / 18 inch Rear

Wheel width = 10 inch wide Front / 10.5 inch wide Rear

Wheel offset = hehehe

Tyre size = 225/45/17 , 235/40/18

Modifications to fit = Rolled / pulled the living hell outta the front & back.

I can bet you a million bucks that 215's can fit on 10 inch wide rims, u just gotta know how to get em on.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
