So I want to buy some new rims and run slicks for autocross and track days. I DON'T want to have the JDM stretch tyre look. Preferably I want to run at least 265/40(or35)/17s all around. All the offset threads are for the "coolest" looking wheels with like 215 or 225 tyres. Does anyone have any advice on rims size/offset to be able to run a wide slick? I've researched that you can fit a 275/40/17 on a 9" rim, but what will I need to do to the car to make them fit? How much of a pull/flare will be needed on the rear, and if I absolutly HAVE to I can source some GTR front guards, but I would prefer not to.

Right now I am thinking the 5zigen fno1r because it is well priced with 9 or 9.5" all around with a +15 in the rear and +25ish in the front.

My suspension is set up to -3.5 camber in the front, -1.5 rear, 1/8'' toe out on the front with neutral toe in the rear.

All this for a 92 R32 gts-t.

Thanks!

Rears will be fine with a 9inch no flare needed..

Im not 100% about the front..

Why not slap on a set of 33 GTR's? Cheap to buy, 9" rim light, 17. That way yu can sped the difrence on something else?

If its only a track rim you dont need something very flashy..

you will not fit a 9.5 +15 on the rear without massive guard work if you want to run a 265 wide tyre. (why 265 incidentally?). Thats actually the size of wheel i have on my gtst for street duties with stretched 235's and flared guards and it still scrubs a bit.

I run a 17x9 +35 rear on my gtst with 235/45 RE55's for track work at the moment. They fit before i modded the guards as well.

On the front with stock guards i ran 17x8 +30 with 215/45 advans. I added gtr guards and can now fit 17x9 +25 on the front with 235/45 RE55's. I reckon i could probably squeeze a 255/40 under the guard on that rim but i doubt i'd bother at this stage as i'd have a bit of work to fit a 255 under the rear.

ok, so 265's are a little on the big side. now I wanted to keep the sizes all the same so I would be able to rotate them to save some cost, but if it's best I could go staggered. Now thinking, 17x9.5 with a 245 or maybe a 255 (I don't mind the work to get them to fit as the car is being painted soon.) and 17x8.5 with a 235 in the front.

What are your camber settings with the gts-t gaurds with the 215 tire? Because I have a 215 now and there seems to be a LOT of room for extra.

I had 3 degrees. There was a reasonable amount of space there but not enough that i was confident trying to fit a 235 RE55 in there as they are a BIG 235.

I had an 8.5 +36 on the front for a while with a 225/45 tyre and the same camber. That scrubbed a bit until i rolled the guard slightly.

What is your ride height likel. I previously fitted 17x9.5 + 36 rears and 17x8.5 +30 on the front. I ran 235/40/17s on the front and 245/45/17s RE55s on the rear.

17X9 and 17x8s are an easier fit for clearance sake, only you have to go down to 235s all round, the 235 are a good fit on the rear but bnot that great on the 8" wheels, really need to go to 215/45/17

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
