Hi all.

I got a R32 GTR with stockies, 8 inch 35/38mm offset (cant remember). I picked up a set of enkies from work, 17X9 with a 22 mm offset. Will these screw up my handling if I fit them?

I've talked to some so called experts about it and the replies have been very unprofessional. One place who specialises in big rims replied with "All offset is good mate". Err no its not, it messes up wheel alignment angles real bad, scrub radius and track go out the window when messing with offset.

Any knowledgable help if appreciated.

I keep forgetting, but I thought GTR's wheels were +30 offset? We'll just say that they're +38 offset on a 8" rim for now, moving to 9" +22mm offset wheels will make the wheels stick out an extra ~21mm from where it is now. An increase in track so I guess that's a good thing (I've got no idea on track work so please forgive me).

So the new wheels will be sticking out an extra ~21mm from what they are currently. You could need some guard rolling done.

Where/how do you measure offset?

Because I have heard abour 4 or 5 offsets on GTR R32 wheels.. and this is on quite official papers..

All rims should have their offsets and widths either printed or on a sticker on the wheel somewhere. Usually on the inside, but I've seen a few wheels which had the offsets printed on the lip.

You can always rely on Yahoo auctions to tell you the offsets of standard wheels, and give you a good idea of what a particular type of second-hand aftermarket Jap wheel may be too. http://search1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/sea...=0jp&acc=jp. For the record R32 GTR is 16x8 +30.

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
