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.

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.

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.......

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 :wub:

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...."

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.

Dont like the rims you posted up, because I dont like chrome :mellow: 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.

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
