I'm sure it's on here and I have searched, but to no avail

I'm keen to hear from anybody who has run 18 x 10 rims on their R32 GTR. I might want to do this but will not be rolling or modifying guards or using spacers. They are not allowed to foul the suspension or body work under any circumstances (full lock, under compression). I will not be running camber to tuck them in, either.

So, do they, can they fit? I'm looking at Rays / Volk TE37s so if you have experience with them, them so much the better.

Cheers.

have to roll guards, 37mm off set not sure about camber which would depend on the low the car is riding.

lol no.

+37 will leave u no inner clearance, u will probably need to go at least as low as +20 to give u a decent amount of inner clearance at the front. at the rear u can get away with less inner clearance, but u also have more guard clearance.

Sold a set of 18x10 +18 to a customer here in SA and he didnt have to roll/lip or do anything to his gaurds. He is running a 265/35/18 tyre so very very minimal stretch. Not sure what camber he is running but visually it doesnt look like much, mabe -1.5 to -2 degrees.

Is 10" really necessary?

is anything we do to our cars truly necessary lol

There are plenty of guys running tens, I think Justin Fox is running 10.5 x 18's on his 32. Have a look in the what size and offset am I running thread

Camber FTW

No. But the set I'm after is on a boat and they might be 10", hopefully 9.5" or 9", so I'm trying to see if I should wait for them or go new before the peso drops any further.

Cheers for that, but the link is 23 pages and dates back to 2003! I've not got that many bed times! Will try and track down JF. Is that his 'handle' on SAU?

Such a pity these are not forged as they are the best looking rim going.....Thanks for the post.

I had fitted to my car 18x10 +15 aluminum Work Meister S2R and have just purchased and fitted Work XD9 18x10+18.

I'm happy with them being cast, they are good quality. If I could find some forged TE37 cheap enough i would have grabbed them...

You could really do with knowing the exact sizes and offsets first before purchasing...

Mark n Russ's old R32 GTR had 18x10.5 Te37s.

"For The Win."

An enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment, message, or post. Sometimes genuine, but often sarcastic.

As I'm old, does FTW mean you like camber or you don't?

Thank you. Yeah, the 9.5 are +22, but not sure what the 10s should be. Around your offsets would be my guess. Your Work rims look fantastic. What ever I go for it has to have lateral clearance for AP CP5555 calipers on 355 rotors.

Sure is...if you sign up to JDM Style he has a thread that shows some close ups of the 10.5's on the car...might be on SAU as well

"...As I'm old, does FTW mean you like camber or you don't?

I'm old too (if you look at the wasteland thread asking about age, that is), lol...

Dialling in some negative camber improves grip when cornering. It places the tire at a more better angle on the road, transmitting the forces through the vertical plane of the tire, rather than through a shear force across it... and it also helps get the top of the tyre inside the guard. :)

Now I'm laughing. I know what neg camber is, I'm more interested in FTW. I looked it up and it can be sincere or sarcastic. I take it FTW was an endorsement of neg camber. I'm running about an extra degree from stock. Not much but enough.

re the brakes, the work rims fitted over my Alcon callipers with 355mm rotors.

I dont think they have quite as much clearance as Weds or Volk though... (both are a lighter wheel than work too)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
