As the title states, have found a set of wheels that i like. However i think these are slightly too wide for the gtr? Also i have scoured the internet, and cant find any 32gtr's running this width / offset.

Will it fit? Or am i dreaming?

I don't want to run alot of camber or anything like that, and im not too keen on the idea of getting the gaurds modified.. it's an option but i've heard horror stories.

Any advice / info / pics would be epic!

Cheers.

Like i said i have already searched for this, pleanty of info on the smaller width's..

Mm - these are 18X10 + 20 with 275s all round.

Stock guards and lowered with coiles. Were ok to drive on but any sort of bump = scrape - probably more to do with inner guard liners though.

No, I just stole my mates wheels for the day when he looked the other way. (Then proceeded to put my pink wheels on his GTR, lol)

They are too wide and the offset is wrong for the car. Just get something that fits and avoid all the pain.

Actually they fit perfectly by running a little camber and quality 265/35R18s.

He'll need to roll the guards perfectly flat to fit them as well.

No wonder there are so many weak looking GT-Rs around with everyone scared to actually put an aggressive size on them.

Good answer.

Except you missed the following in his original post:

lol personally i know a lot of people that dont care about fitment in there GTRs because they just want to go fast and not care about looks / flushness they just want to hammer around the track without scraping the shit out of everything and needing massive suspension / guard modification

But surely that is the point about owning a GTR - that they actually have a suspension system with the potential to allow them to go hard. Not some flush fitting nightmare that needs guard mods, wrong camber angles & undersized tyres to make it even half way fit. Why wreck what remains of the cars handling for some wannabe sexspec fashion. :thumbsup:

Exactly what I mean mate! you can still make a GTR look good without having it scrape the shit out of guards!

i believe that wheel fitment is mandatory on a gtr (any skyline really) and that u should definately go out there get some quality rubber fitted to them rims, roll those guards and get some nice coilovers to get the stance correct.

i dont get how so many ppl say i dont wanna touch the guards but i wanna run these fat rims.....

Rolled guards is hardly modified. Flaring is how I would interpret his statement.

And running 255/35R18s would be an even easier way of fitting them. Camber would not need to be stupid at all.

LOL sounds like an excuse to me. Funny that some of the fastest circuit spec 32 GT-Rs in Japan run this size on them without massively modified guards. But what would they know? They aren't people blinded by the idea that fitment sacrifices your ability to thrash :huh:

Don't put fitment and sex spec together. They aren't anything alike. If you're having a nightmare with fitment, you're doing it wrong. Plain and simple. That's what happens when amateurs set up cars :P

It's because they're all doing it wrong. They see this idiots with terrible mexican fitment rubbing and scraping and think that's what it's about.

Then they buy sh*tty offset wheels and say what was quoted above to justify it.

PERFECT fitment is sitting flush and having no rubbing, no need for super narrow rubber, or anything outside the alignment you want.

Cheers for the response's guys, i have decided to let these wheels slide as they arnt the right offset as you all have said!

I want to keep the handeling aspets of my car, i love doing mountain runs / hillclimb / downhill runs etc .. it's why i bought the car actually.

I'm now thinking something more along the lines of 17x10 +18 so i can run a larger profile and hopefully fit a decent amount of tyre under there..

How does this sound? I've seen lots of pics of the 18x10+18 and it does sit flush, not sure how it will go with a decent tyre width under there though? Anyone had any experience, will gaurd work still be required for this size?

I'm thinking of getting some enkei pf01's or something like that, my mate suggested 17" but still 10" wide so you can fit more tyre on the rim. He suggests running like 265/275 ?

I'm running 18x10 +15 on my GTR, imo sits nice and flush also using 265s on all 4 with no issues, the car just needs to be lowered a teeny bit more which I'm working on just been lazy. Maybe have a word with Aaron @ importmonster he can keep a eye out for some rims (he has a 32 GTR as well) and knows his shit!

      There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
