Hi there ppl i was wondering if any1 can pls tell me (or where i could find out) the standard offset for my R32 GTS (non turbo, 1989, 4 stud)

the tyres i currently have on it are 205/60 R15 and im hoping to go 235/40 R18 Nankan NS2

The mags im thinking to buy are 18*7.5 Lenso Tenzo GT-6 from tempe tyres in syd

so to save time and money i need to know the stock standard offset in order to confirm if they will fit, also if any1 wants to give any feedback on the choices i have made pls dont hold back & or websites for mags that would fit my car (4 stud, 4x114.3 etc)

thanks in advance

FYI already checked the current wheels/mags on my car & unfortunately cant find the offset unless of course the little bastard is hidden somewhere specific & some1 knows where...

you don't need the standard rim offset to know if new ones will fit. the offset will vary depending on rim width.

however, to answer your question

how wide are the standard rims? i'm guessing around 6" wide, they would be around the +40mm mark.

for a 7.5" wide rim you want around +32 to +35mm to sit close to flush with the guards.

if you check the suspension & braking section there is a stickied thread up top. inside there'll be links to an offset calculator try that to compare what dimension changes you get from going from one rim to the other

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
