Rims To Fit R32 Gtr?

[TezGT-R]

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?

If the rolling diameter is different front to back your attessa will hate you, dont do it

[dougs]

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.

Best bet would be to trial fit them before handing over the money

+45 on a gtr would be wrong imo, those guards need to be filled up.

in my opinion 18x8.5 or 9.5 +22(or even lower) all round would be sweet.

[adam-__-]

+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.

Oops... didn't see the replies on this page

[dougs]

how about a set of 17x9 with +15 offset all round?

[SoFly]

now thats what im talking about.

i'd go with that.

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.

[dougs]

yeah i had a look at the rims today any i don't think they'll fit well. but i found an identical set in 17x9 all round with +15 offset so i think i'm gonna get those.

[dougs]

hey guys i found another set of rims but i need someone to confirm whether they are vpec II rims or not? i added some pics of the rims for id. thanks in advance.

[dougs]

come on guys, someone has to know something lol.
