hey guys, i just bought a repairable writeoff r32 gtr which is nearly ready to be registered and i need to find some rims but i've been told that there aren't many rims around that will clear the brakes on the front?? anyone know what i must specify to a tyre shop so they can find me some rims that will? btw i'm not willing to shave the caliper either. Any help would be much appreciated :P

If you dont care about looks or grip a set of r33 gtst stockies will clear the brakes (if you need it to pass rego). Proof? Ive had a set on my gtr, looked shit and didnt get much traction in rwd but yeah

Or R32 GTR stockies? or even R33 GTR stockies? (if you're doing it on the cheap ring up powerplay in sydney they do copies)

There's so many rims that will fit nicely though its hard to tell what style you like, in addition to the offer posted by Ryan;

Get some stock R32 Gt-R rims. They are cheap, plentiful & the tyres to go with them will also be cheap.

Far, far better than any imported Chinese chromie shit you may find in most tyre shops.

Failing that a good second hand Japanese rim in 17". 17*9+22 is the best size for a 32. 18's are ok too.

yeah if i had the money i would. i can get a set of impul 18x8's brand new for $1800 but i don't wanna splash out on wheels cause i might need the money i've got saved for other things. what about a set of ba falcon rims off a fpv? they come with brembo's so they'd have no trouble fitting over the gtr's brakes right?

Since its a jap car stick with jap wheels looks better holds the value better.

17" wheel will fit over std brakes and best performance and general driving wheel.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

19" only if you can afford it, and you want the bling factor, oh and if you are able to fit them and no performance or driving value.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

Thats very big for r32!

Hows the tyre scrub?

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
