I know it has been asked a thousand times before. But I cant find a thread that touches on it.

I have an R32 GTSt and looking at a rear pair of wheels that are 17 x 10" +44. Not sure what the offset limits are for clearing the inner suspension? Anyone? I am not concerned about outer guard, just need to know what sized offsets you can run before you have problems with fouling the shock-suspension etc

Hey, I've used this before when working out clearances.

http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

Dial in the stock wheels, then the new wheels and it calculates how much closer to the guards and inner suspension components rims and tyres end up.

Also useful way of calculating overall tire diameter for different profiles/ widths too.

Thanks, but the problem is the std rims are so small and no real help when trying to work out clearances for a 10" rim. Hopefully somebody has fitted some decent sezied rim AND tyre in the bum and can work out if these +44s will fit. I want to run a 265 rear tyre on the 10" rim

Thanks, I understand that if i go GTR style offsets I will clear the suspension. But I want to use all the available space, so a +22 offset will leave a sea on the inside and cause issues for the guard. I am hoping there is a number around +30 to +44 or something that allows for inner guard clearance

just going off 9s 9.5s I'd say for a 10 inch an offset around +30 would be about right mate. think of a stock 33 GTR wheel which is +30 9 inch. now add half an inch to each side of that and bobs your uncle. maybe a +35 would give a little more guard clearance and still clear the suspension but I dunno about a +44.

The lmgt4's I sold you where 17x9.5 +38 and they were flush with the guard but can't remember if there was clearance on the inside. So I'd agree with above and say go about the +32mm area. 18x10 with +12 stick about 40mm out with 0 camber and 265's

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
