ok so i have searched and read through about 40 of the 75 odd pages in the skyline wheel fitment thread...

found a couple similar results...

after pics of fitment with stock guards (obviously flared/lipped) on a 32 GTST with

17x9.5 +12

fitted with 215, 225 or 235 40 or 35 series tyres. Rims are already on the way so just sussing out sizes. fronts running -3.5 camber rear camber is -0.75, would rather do guard work than change alignment settings ;)

Here's mine with 17x9 +5 and a 215/45R17 on the front. I haven't had my camber measured but at a guess I'd say I'm running about -3deg. Your rim would stick in 1mm than mine but not sure about what tyre you'd wanna run.

As for the rear you'll need a small flare I reckon.

Hope this helps a bit.

thanks bud keep em coming...

currently running 17x9.5 +12 on the rear with a 215/45 federal and pokes a bit, front are 17x9 +15 with 225/45 and sit flush .. just unsure on 18s and tyre profile...

was wanting to run lower profile but not too sure how this is gonna stretch.

18x9.5 +15 all round

stock flared guards

235/40/18 feddy 595ss

mannn thanks so much this is exactly the specs i was looking at and ive been wondering for ages if it will work with no camber arms, you rule!

i did my guards.

they were rough as i had 1 day to do them before hitting the track, i got them much better after when i had time.

use tape to tape up how you like the flare, then use a hammer and smash the shit out your guards.

i started hitting soft but realised i needed to hit HARD..

I'm just about to purchase some rota Grids in 18x10+22 and 17x9+15

I know these would need some guard work and some neg camber, but any idea how much. Shouldnt be heaps if i have some stretch on the tyres, rears especially?

This is on stock 32 gtst guards btw

I ran 18 by 9 +22 and with 235's it rubbed even with lipped guards and max camber on the rear, fronts were just ok with camber and caster arms.

Imo with stock guards and mild lipping a 9 +22 is as low an offset as you should go.

There is still alot of clearance inside on the rear so a 9.5 or 10 should fit easy with correct offset.

Btw running anything smaller then a 235 on a 9.5 is stupid and dangerous, if you cant fit the wheels properly dont buy em.

Unless you want to roll and pull the guards a little then a 9 +25 ish is good on the front, the rear can have wider, say a 10 but the offset has to be right.

There is also issues with inner clearance on the front, especially with 18's as they only just cleared the sideskirts and front bar.

IMO 17's are a good compromise between looks and practicality. 18's look better but you can fit 17's alot easier, I have just bought some 17 by 9 +22's and even with 245's they didnt really rub, nothing compared to the18's which rubbed on every corner on the back.

Plus 17's are alot cheaper for tyres :thumbsup:

so the rears fit.... 235/40/18 with 18x9.5 +12

unfortunately I didnt think about the effect having a 33 LCA up front would have on the track so they sit about 12-20mm from the guards... going to try massage guards some more, failing that go a weaker offset.. this is a last option lol.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
