Guys, i need some help.. I have found some wheels i love & wanna get for my r32.. but the offset is +45!! And from what i thought, around +35 is what everyone seems to use.. Can anyone tell me if these wheels will fit on my car n if they will look like shit,scrub etc.

Thanks...

Thanks man, but couldnt find anyone with same offset as the wheels i want are.. but ill post in there n see if anyone can help me..

you stil want low offset mate, the higher the offset the worse it will look basically unless you like the sunken look.

+22 is probaly about right.. agree with blags id be going for 17s/18s but if u like 19s thats your call you just cant get as close to the ground

well i went 2 have a look at the wheels today (they are a private sale) not from a shop.. fronts are +42 and rears are a +45 .. so i think im up shit creek.. Unless i can run spacers? Has anyone used these n how much of a difference can/will it make.. n yeah im aware they are illegal.. n yeah im aware 17s,18s would be more suitable/practical.. but i like the wheels & my car handles fine with the 19s ive had on the car all the time ive owned it.

Any more help would be great, thanks guys. :thumbsup:

avoid spacers if u can i had em on the front not a fan couldnt get a good balance no matter what and i personally wouldnt want em on the rear but heaps of ppl use hubcentrics without a problem, the thing is you can just buy the right wheels first off save ya the hassle.

spacers are illegal.

yeh i just didnt want him to not know they are illegal if he is keen on then.

by the look of the rim its a knock off gtc style id say get save up for the real thing the ladeeez will be far more likely to slip and land on ya kn0b if ya get the real deal.. its like getting PRADA or PRODA .. just aint right.

whats the real ones? i cant find that style of wheel anywhere.. thats y i want those wheels so bad.. N i did a bit more investigating.. N found this dude selling his wheels ( hes on here im pretty sure too..)

Front - 19*8 Offset 35

Rear - 19*9 Offset 44

but he said he didnt use any spacers? so im just curious to know y the wheels sit so flush with the car?

pics are.. HERE

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
