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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
