Ive got Nismo LMGT3s on my 32GTR. 17 x 10" and they clear my F50 brembos with about 3-4mm gap and just fit inside the guards (you cant fit your hand on top of the front tyres). Any bigger than this i reckon youd need to roll guards

ok guys i found a set of Volk F-Zero Challenge rims in 18x8 at the front and 18x9 at the back, i've asked a few people who deal with imports etc about the offset because the rears are +45, but i'm not sure of the fronts, and i got told that should be fine because there's huge amounts of space under there before anything will hit the coilovers. they said i could go for an 18x10 with a slightly smaller offset and still not have to worry about any hitting or guard rolling. anyone got any comments/experience they wanna share?

yeah i know. i've already got 235/45's for the front so going 265/40's on the back will be a perfect match. if all else fails i'll just do 235/45's all round, it won't make any difference, they should still fit up nicely. i was more concerned about the offset than anything. as long as the fronts are somewhere between about +25 and +35 i should be fine. and considering the rears are +45 i can't imagine the fronts being any smaller than +30.

anyone have any objections to the +45? lol. according to the offset calculator they'll only stick out 6mm further than the standard rim but will be 20mm closer on the inside cause the standard offset is +38 for the 8" wide gtr rims right? sorry to harp guys, its just that i'm looking to pick these rims up tomorrow and hope to not have any fitment problems lol. so any advice would be great. thanks.

+45 offset it pretty high and 20mm LESS inside clearance would be a problem I would assume. I agree with SoFly, get something in the +20's range or even less for that width.

If that's what you want though, trial fit.

You didn't mention the width of the wheels (offest and width work hand in hand to determine fitment and stance), but I can tell you that I'm 99% sure that they're not going to sit flush the guards at all... They'll sit in the guards and won't look as good as proper offset wheels.

Look for +22 offset in a 9" wheel for good fitment on an R32 GTR.

read what I wrote before. If you don't know what your doing when it comes to offset its going to look stupid and defect magnet. IMO If you put on +35 or greater the rim is going to stick out plus rubber. Its going to look tough but also stupid at the same time if you know what i mean. Also you prob going to need spacers if you get the wrong offset that is also crap and extra money. If you put smaller wheels on front and bigger on the back that should be ok with GTR but it looks better when its even and better handling as well and not to mention a nightmare to get your wheel alignment sorted out for the x time your chamber will shift so extra money plus have fun selling this set when you plan to upgrade or sell your car. hope that helps.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
