Hey going to buy these rims, just wondering if anyone has them on there r32 gtst and how they went? or on any nissan without flared guards?

i have coilovers so can adjust them to whatever height it good for the rims, and rolled guards. planning on putting 235's on the rears and 225 on the front so they are streached quite a bit.

any pics of your cars? will 10'' be to wide or should i go with the 9.5's?

thanks

way too wide for a GTSt in 10", esp in that offset. you'd have clearance issues fo' sure

would make more sense to get a staggered set, in widths more suited to the tyre size

My mate had some on his 180 with standard guards . 10" gtc's with +5 offset and wasn't a drama , looked sick . Don't see why they wouldn't go good on a gtst

coupla points:

• from a performance perspective, fitting tyres that are far too narrow for the rim is just carrying extra weight and reducing clearance for no good reason. a manufacturer would be looking to fit at least a 285 tyre to a rim that wide from the factory

• they're so much wider than standard rims you'll need to have the car engineered to make 'em legal

of course, if you're one of these 'drift-look tyre-stretch' fashion slaves, or just like to tell people at the pub you've got 10 inch wide wheels- go nuts

Thanks for the advise though mate, anyone else ?

You'll need to massage the guards to make them fit.

guards are rolled and flared a tiny bit, not much...do you guys have experience with it or are u just presuming?

i got 10.5'' deeeeeep dish on there now with +20 offset and don't even stick out that much...

I'm just presuming.

After seeing a friends 32 gtst with TE37 superlaps in 18x10.5 +15 with 265/35 A050s, he had to flare 50mm out so, depending on size of tyre you want, you may have to flare bit more

I hav xt7 18X9.5 +12 on my 32 gtst. Cambered in and rolled front and rolled and flared rear. Looks mean man if you want to go for an aggressive staunch look. So i say go for gold, i got 215s on mine so do what u want wit tyres,. No one cares these day about whhats legal ay.

I'm just presuming.

russ's car is a different beast man... and he is running 265's

ok, so iv decided to buy some work XD9's .

Rear 18x10 + 18

Front 18x9 +20

look great, will see how they go :D

if you want xd9's look into running the 17x9.5+17 on the front and the 18x10+18 rear... best option by far

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
