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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
