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

Can anyone tell me how that works? Even though its a high offset.. i dont understand.. :P sorry guys haha.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
