Offset Question For R32 Gtst

[dori34]

would these fit fine on a R32 GTST?

17x8 +25 front

17x9 +25 rear

ive searched and a few members run mid 30+ offsets on their skylines.

whats the lowest offset in a 8" & 9" rim i can fit under stock r32 gtst guards (flare/roll is ok) ?

i want it to sit as nice and flush as possible, dont want the rims sticking in looking like i got them from my local rim joint.

any pics if possible of similar size/offset on a r32 gtst.

cheers

I reckon they'd look sweet. Probably need a roll on the front and flare on the rear.

lets hope so

still tossing up between white work emotion CR kai's or 5zigen FN01R-C's in mattblack

ive got 17X9 + 15's all round, which fits sweet with a lip and roll of the guards

what sise tyres on ur rims? lowered?

with a 235 tire u will be cutting it pretty close with just rolled guards on the rear depending on camber and ride height etc.

just to give u some idea:

17x9.5 +38 with 255 and -1.5 camber, lip will sit out another 7mm on the 17x9 +25

17x9 +30 with 235 and -1.5 camber, lip will sit out another 5mm on the 17x9 +25

17x9.5 +30 with 255 and -0.5 camber, pretty much will sit where 17x9 +25 will, sat nicely but would have needed some pulling to fit the 255's under, should be able to slip some 235's under there with only a roll.

17x9 +30 with 235 and -2 camber, 17x8+25 will sit in about 6mm or so, looked like they might have just touched the guard when they were unrolled and the suspension compressed enough, but not a massive issue if u have decent suspension and proper ride height.

thats about all the close up pictures of relavent fitment. about the closest to 17x8 +25 i can think of is some 17x8.5 +30's on the front with with 215's, no sign of scrubbing as ud expect, they sat basically level with his guards, maybe a few mm in.

i rekon ud be best of going something like a 17x9 +30/+20 combination, front will sit ok on close to stock gaurds, rears might need rolling and a bit of flaring at most. if u want to go 8" on the front id say around +15 is about as low as u can go without needing flaring, rear u can go probably max 17x9 +20 on rolled guards before u start scrubbing.

but it all depends, if uve got decent suspension at a decent height ull be able to get away with a fair bit more, im currently running 17x8.5 +15 at the front with just rolled guards, u can almost see the top of the tread just coming out of the guard and it looks like it would hit the guard pretty hard if the suspension ever compressed enough, but so far theres no sign of scrubbing what so ever, and that includes spirited hills driving with big bumps and track work.

thanks for the pics nisskid! they helped alot!!

i think ill stick with 17x9 + 20 all round might have to run a bit more camber upfront to fit these on rolled guards with out any scrapping etc.

C-red special atm with the SSR rims. might just get them 17x9 + 21 all round for $1500 delivered. bloody bargain.

^^mm not bad, i bidded on some type C's 17x9 +21 and 17x9.5 +27 on the Jap auctions and missed out on them by like 500yen, they are an awesome rim, weigh something like 6.5kg for a 17x9
