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

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

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.

hey mate yeah just got the money sorted so ill be buying them really soon. pity though cos i was after more feedback here, plenty of people have a lot to say bout random stuff but when asked something a little more technical it seems no one wants to answer.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
