front no

rear no

:laughing-smiley-014: the photo doesn't do it justice. They stick out by about an inch

modified guards i'm sure you can manage on the rear as i plan to do that. On the front you will struggle. You'd have to really mangle the guard, also have to run some skinny tyres maybe. i fitted a set of gtr front guards, the wheel disappears under them.

They're the perfect offsets and width for an R32 in my opinion.

Here's a picture of a car with 17X9.5J +15 on the front and 18X9.5J +15 on the rear. Both running 225/40 tyres.

Four door, but same thing...

17 x 9.5 will scrape in by the hair on your chin. My car wasnt way low or running crazy camber and the only guard mod is rolled inner edge for tyre clearance.

They need to be 17 x 9.5 + 36 offset for them to clear the suspension and guard. I ran 255 tyres which were just slightly stretched and they fitted. I dont have any pics of my car with these wheels on them, though i have seen pics posted...so i will have a look around for photos from events

Rears only. There is no way on earth you will squeeze a 9.5" under the front. PPL run 9" +30 offset GTR rims on the front, but they really stick out too big and stick out too far. I have run 8.5" +30 offset and thats about optimum for the front. Again depends on ride height

But here is the 17x9.5" + 36 offset LM GT4 on the rear, with an 8" +35 on the front.

Front gaurds are +20mm and rears are worked and they still protrude. But i likey :banana:

Fark.... sorry guys. Didn't even realise that the car I posted up had aftermarket guards on. I just thought it looked sexy and it had roughly the same offsets and width as you wanted. :banana:

how about 17x9.5 +28 offset all round?

another option, 17x8.5 +32 fronts and 17x9.5 +28 rears?

please guys as I just about to order my rims

:no::P

If you try to run 17x9.5 +28 on the front they will rub on suspension arms. Even if you get the offset so that the rim of a 9.5" wheel doesnt hit the arm, the second the rim looks at a tyre it will hit the suspension. So you space it out using offset so that the rim and tyre clear the suspension...then you will be cutting tyres on guards.

On the rear...ditto, a 9.5" rim with 28 offset will see it tucked into the guard better but again fouling suspension arms.

I have tried so may rims on my car and my above post is the best advice i think you will find for an R32 GTSt running std gaurd (rolled inner)

If you want to run aftermarket guards then a different story all together.

but i used to run 18x9.5 +38 on the rear, no problems at all.. so, if i'm running 17x9.5 +28 on the rear which is gonna bring these rim out to the guards by 10mm right? I think I'm quite confident about the rare ones..

the front ones, i used to run 18x8.5 +38.. so, if i'm gonna run 17x8.5 +32, which mean these rims gonna sit further out than the old rims by 6mm right?

cheers

Best bet...talk to the tyre joint and get them to trial fit them...my money is on the rears hitting suspension and the fronts being ok (17x8.5 +32)

why u reckon the rears gonna hit suspension? with +28 offset it gonna bring wheels further out.. am i right?

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
