20s On A R32? Possible?

[dave_1]

i tried on 18s yesterday and they were scrubbing on the inner side on the arm that goes up to the camber adjuster(front), i would need to run 5mm spacers to fit them, back was fine heaps of room. these were 30 offset.

This bracket it was rubbing on only seems to flare towards the outside of the car as it gets higher, so bigger rims would have even more trouble?

Please if you know , reply here. If your just guessing, dont bother and you might just learn something.

ps, please no comments about 20s are too big or ugly or whatever, i dont care. Im just interested to know this.

thanks Dave

yes bigger rims will have more/frequent rubbing.. you may also require some rubbing.. the amount of rub will also be affected by weight in the car (more ppl) and bumpy roads etc.. it'd be hard to get them not to rub.. also you will most prob get problems on tight turning (at least on full lock) as the tyre will rub on parts inside the wheel cavity..

ps.. 20's look shmick fill in the gap.. however it's also worth noting that it's not legal (apparently so i've been told) that you cannot put tyres on that are 2" above standard ie. 19's is the max on 17's as standard.. *Could be wrong, just what i've been told by roadworthy mechanics*

what offsets/width?

if ur scrubbing on the inside and need a 5mm spacer then same width/offset is gonna do the exact same thing.

^ the rule is for rolling diameter which includes ur tyre profile as well. doesn't just go on rim diameter. its stock rim diameter + profile vs new rim diameter + profile.

but yes, 20's r gonna be over obviously

a friend of mine has ROH dished 20's on his R32. he had to put spacers on the front to clear the brake calipers, and is using standard shocks and springs.

and he has no issues with scrubbing?

the first part is correct, except about the 20's looking good lol. standard rims on a r32 are 16" however, so 18" is the limit. there a new law coming in, apparently its already in SA where u can go as large rims as u want as long as it doesnt affect the overall diametre by some small amount. but i wouldnt risk it.

as for 20" rims clearing, it is possibly with the right width, offset, tyre size/profile etc. but as mentioned before, the law says no, and so does baby jesus.

20s on an r32, thats huge

[dmr]

no scrubbing, but the only problem would be lowering it.

the previous owner of the rims had them on his R32 on lowered king springs, and that used to scrub on medium-big bumps.

picking up my 20s on the weekend. just need some 5mm spacers on the front and no problems at all.

will post pics

the 2" bigger 1" wider is a general rule of thumb, but its +15mm max extra rolling diameter and same load rating, just put 19" 235/35 91 load on mates r32 which is legal

[NoFX_Hardcore]

They look massive... wow.

Amazed nobody mentioned dahtone_racing R32... it's rollin' on 20's.

yea 2guup has gtr guards so it wouldnt rub on anything. look really good man. good choice of rims and nice size. should go an inch lower all round tho
