Can I Get These Wheels To Fit?

[thatjonokid]

I have been given an amazing deal off a mate for his work XD9s. He has them on his R34 GTR and they are all 18x10 +18.

I don't care about flaring the shit out of my guards...can I make these fit my R32 gtst? dont wanna go crazy widebody kit but 50mm fibreglass guards might work

cheers

I think you will be able to get the rears to fit but the fronts 'may' be a problem. You might be able to squeeze them under the stock guards with a pull of the guard and about -3deg camber pending on tyre sizes.

planning on camber arms anyway and getting the guards flared as far as they can before the panel bows.

will look hectic as though....so hopefully they will fit : /

you can... but you will need to flare and camber if you want it slammed

Put my xd9s on my mates 34 gtt and they stuck out heaps, you wudnt need 50mm guards to fit 25mm would do it.

I put GTR front and rear guards on my 33 and they sit slightly in on the back and flush at the front with 275/35 tyres on rear and 265/35 on front.

But mines a Gts4t so not sure how a 32gtst would do clearing front struts

will fit easy with a bit of nip tuck.

tyres are 265s so i dont know how they will go but we will see

I had 18x10+18 on the rear of my old HCR32 and with 245/40 tyres, all they needed was a quick guard roll and a slight flare to make it all fit. They didn't stick out too badly either.

On the fronts I used to run 18x9+20 but with 235/40 tyres and had minimal issues with tyre scraping. Not sure how you will go about fitting 18x10+18 rims to the fronts however. And especially with 265 tyres you will probably run into major guard scraping issues whilst turning or even close to full lock. You may have to go with slightly stretched tyres for better front fitment (maybe 245/40 or something) along with -2/3deg camber.

They would look seriously tough though! Post up some pics once you've fitted them.

Here's how they used to look on my 32...

No way there gonna fit without alot of body work.. I have 9 +22 all round and even with lipped guards and camber arms up front with max camber front and rear they rub. A 10 +18 will sit out a further 17mm and 9mm less inner clearence, 17mm is a fair bit, on the rear yea it would be do able but on the front its gonna rub on everything, wont even clear the upper arms i think.

I trial fitted my old BBS 9 +35 with a 10mm slip on on the fronts before I got my new wheels and there was almost no clearance between the tyre and upper arm on the front, so another 6mm in is pushing it i think.

where can I get wide guards and how much...I have to replace my Drivers side guard anyway as someone hit it and its dinged.
