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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
