32 4whore Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 easiest way to explain offset is picture the rim. Now picture a line down the very middle of the rim. Now picture the hub of the rim being forward of that centre line. That is + offset. Picture that hub being behind the centre line. That's - offsett. To answer your wuestion the Drift Teks you are looking at will be inside your guards. You will not have to modify your guards at all. If that is all your budget can afford then go that option. Or save up some more and keep on looking. PM me what your budget is and I will do some homework and see what I can find for you. I can get some JAP wheels fairly cheap or other wheels with decent offsets and widths for you.

THENIG Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Wow! I want this done to my guards, wonder how much a panel shop would charge?? if I could find a panel shop to do it. old school racing (17x9 +24) As you can see mine needs more low & lip/flare, GTR rims almost flush with guards, prolly stick out 2mm. I had to get the guards rolled at the rear, the fronts are standard and have never scrubbed (ride height = 350mm) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/297119-calling-r32-4-door-owners/page/2/#findComment-5360666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJRIFT Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 THENIG - just some more low will sort it. and maybe a slight roll of the guards. we run r33GTR rims on one of our race cars and with decent fitting tyres and they have stock guards. the beauty with the dynamic camber on r32s is that as you go lower the more the wheel will tuck in. ive just put some 17x9.5 work equips on the back of mine. ill put a pic up shortly and get the offset tomorow as i dont know what it is.

THENIG Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 looks like youve got the s2 taillights as well. I didn't know there was a difference, maybe mine look different because I am using LED globes in all four tail lights. Yeah car deff needs more low, been meaning to measure how much lower I can go for a while & get some new suspension (mine isn't height adjsutable) only thing is it scrapes coming out of my driveway as it is (Damm GTR lip), so can't go too low. Also I have a pair of silver 'type m' side skirts at home that I have been considering putting on, but would let them go for the right price if anyone is interested.

At least yours looks like it has those lights.

Nah its just the reflection in the picture, you had me going there for a while, had to go have a look at my car, it's 90' model, cloth trim not, I never noticed that the rear lights were different on a series 2, only noticed that some other 4 doors have a bigger skyline badge on the back.

KURAUN Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 yeah the whole chassis base is the same, only the body is different think its 7cm longer than the coupe, the main differences are from the front windscreen back ie. doors, boot, quarters, seats, carpet, etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/297119-calling-r32-4-door-owners/page/2/#findComment-5395011 Share on other sites More sharing options...
