mii11x Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hey guys, Was thinking of purchasing some new rims for the car and like the Gramlights. Does anyone have any idea on the offsets i should be looking at..........17x9 either a +12 or +22 offset is available. From what i have read its my understanding that a +12 offset would give a larger dish than a +22. Or have i got my thinking all wrong???? Would like a little bit more dish effect at the rears. Car sits a little lower, perhaps 15mm but that would be it. I have the crappy g4 adjustables also. Basically I dont want the tyres or rims to be hanging out the guards as seen in the black 32gtst photo below. I would prefer it to look the way my car is now........see below What do you guys thinks????

MrWindsurf Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Well to get nice fitment on a 32gtr you would usually get +22 which and a gtr has bigger guards than a gtst. So if you were to get +12 then I'd say on a gtst you would require some guard work to get them not to scrub at a minimum they would probably poke. anyway go here www.rimtuck.com - and search for your car and you can see photos of skylines with 17x9 and different offsets to get an idea of how they might fit. hope that helps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365231-gramlights-57d/#findComment-5827354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWISSH! Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 From what I've seen gram light 57d don't have dish on them, they have more curved spoke design And +12 would be perfect for an r33gtr not an r32 gtst U would need the +22 or more Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365231-gramlights-57d/#findComment-5827366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
8EZ Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 old thread, but how did you go? i think if you want your new wheels to fit like ones in the second photo u will need an even higher offset than +22.
