Bolt them up and see how they fit. The further + in the offset, the further the wheel track will be narrowed - so you will need to make sure there is no interferance with any of the suspension. I personally wouldnt want to narrow track - not really an improvement in any way that I can think of?

If you want to bring wheels out, you need to go the other direction with the offset - this at least will give you wider track and therefore can make for good gains in handling - and the car looks fatter:)

Mine are 38 all round.

They're made by Rays Engineering for Payton's Place and are a 7 spoke design. I bought them off the Yahoo Auctions in Japan (thru J-Spec ) and got them here for around $1300. I'm putting Hankook Ventus K104s on them 235/40/18f, 255/35/18r.

All up it's going to cost around $2200 for a brand new set of Ray's and tyres :) I'm happy.

As for suggestions; with tyres I was sold by the fact that the Hankooks have the same traction rating (AA), same heat rating (A), and better wear rating (280 vs 220) when compared to the Michellin Pilot Sports. The best part is they're almost half the price! with rims, anything YOU think look good will be OK with me :D

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
