9.5 Wide Under Gts-t R32

Oh I must've misread. I swear it said 255? Ohwell, my mistake.

I would stick with 225/40 on there. 235 is a bit big, and I dont like it. But Gary likes to get as much rubber as he can on the rim, he puts 245s on 8s.

I've got some 17x9 +20 that I've put all round on my car before, they stick out ~20mm, so you need to do a fair bit of guard rolling. It looks damn tough with the offset though, clears all the suspension easily. I had 215s on them at the time though, so I'm not too sure how 255 would go, but I was looking at the edge of the rims. I can send you some pics of how they stick out if you want?

Salad how do u think 18x9 +22 would fit on r32 gtst? with 255 rubber?

LOL...no hope. Unless you attack your guards with tin snips .

I currently run 235/45/17 RE55s on my track rims. The RE55s are a bit wider then most 235s. If i drop the rim/typre on the face the rubber overhangs enough to protect the face of the rim. Now a few ppl i know have gone from 265/40 on GTR rims which are about the same fit...to 255 which are a tighter fit, must like my street rubber 255/40/17s on my 9.5" LMs. They all agree the car is quicker, and handles nicer. The lap times are not wrong.

So next time round im going to try 225/40s on my 8" track rims rather then the 235s.

Thanks for the help.

My choice is either 18x8.5+40 or 18x9+22.

I think ill get the guards modified, i know someone pretty handy. I guess fitting gtr front guards would be an easy option on the front.

Salad has said previously that the 8.5s with +40 will hit the strut(front only) with the tyre if not the rim. I want to run the same size wheel/tyre combo front and rear, hence why i just bought the 7.5 + 30s for a start

Cheers guys
