18inch Rims On R32 Skyline - 4 Door?

[r32matt]

Hi,

I was just wondering if 18inch rims will fit on a 4 Door R32 Skyline without any problems? The car hasnt been lowered and is at standard height.

Might get some today!!!! :sorcerer:

Thanks

There was a guy in the act with a 4dr and 18 inch rims, didn't hear any complaints from him about issues.

Just make sure you get the right profile tyres and it'll be fine

[r32matt]

How do I know the right profile? lol

or will they know whats best?

Right profile tyre means diameter of your new wheel + tyre is equal to the diameter of your old wheel + tyre.

Make sure you don't get stupid wide and low offset wheels if you don't want to modify your gaurds.

How can i really tell? lol

Like what would be a max size for the R32? I have standard rims on it at the moment. Would be so annoying if I bought some and they were to big.......

[Oblivion]

for that size i am guessing a std offset so about +20 so i guess....talk to the dealer.

and a 7" wide rim with a 40 profile.....so 215 40 18

something like that.

be better putting 17's on mate can have a wider wheel then.

Just use the offset calculator. Put in the specs of the wheels you have on at the moment and the specs of the wheels you would want. It'll tell you how much it will stick out/in from what you've got now. You can decide from that. It's just a guide though, it won't tell you whether or not it'll rub

Offtopic: I wonder why your car has side indicators and mind don't? The ones on your guard. Car looks good though.

[r32matt]

Your Car looks really Nice! Paint looks really good on it still!

Should be getting money this week for Mags!!! Gonna get 18inch and get my car lowered.

Also gonna get tinting and redo my interior. Need to buy new vents and some other console parts....

I wanna get my R32 looking new again and smooth but also look sweet!

I have a few scratches in the roof and a big one on the rear bumper..... Would touch up paint fix this? Or does touch up paint look dodgy?

Anyone with ideas on what to buy to make my R32 look awesome, let me know!! I also want to change my tacho lights to blue, but i heard you need to take out the whole dash?? seems like a mission..... lol

"This isnt a pic of my car but my car looks exactly the same but with standard R32 Mags...."

[r32matt]

Here are some mags I was thinking of buying...... Let me know what you think would suit a Silver R32 4 Door.........

[adam-__-]

Honestly, don't get any of those cheap, poor quality wheels. Go for the wheels which are Japanese designed. Rays Engineering wheels for example. Gun metal GT-C's would look good on a silver car.

I'm assuming you got those pics from tempetyres or something.

They are ROH wheels. I thought they were a good brand? Got the Pictures off the ROH website

[cheez]

dont go bling, get a shadow chrome or something like that.

[Wink]

Roh sucks

For wheels on a Jap car go either Jap brand or Euro brand.

[Fadie]

ROH wheels are excellent, if you buy the 3 piece ones cos they made here in AUS. i believe most of the chrome ones you showed are the cheapy chinese stuff they import.

Dont like the rims you posted up, because I dont like chrome Go for gunmetal or something. And if you dont have around 5 grand lying around dont consider Jap wheels.... Fricken expensive! but look awsome, I would just get some 1,500 dollar rims if I were you. (unless you have 5k)

You don't HAVE to go with new Jap wheels that cost $5k. You can pick up a decent set of Jap designed wheels for ~$2k.
