Hey guys, I've got an R32 GTS-4 and really keen on getting 18x9+20 on the fronts and 18x10+18 on the rears. But I want to make sure the rears will clear everything and there won't be any fitment issues with the rims hitting the insides of the car. Just wanna make sure that 10 inch wide rears wont affect the drive. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

I'm after stretch and poke as well so I'm chucking 225/40/18 on the front and 235/40/18 on the rear. Should look insane!

Fashion over function?

Will look even better up on the hoist with a burnt out transfer case being replaced

you ask for advice, here it is.

what they are saying is - you do what you like so it will "look" awesome.

right up until the 4wd poos itself and you have to repair/replace the 4wd transfer case.

the skyline attessa needs the same rolling diameter front and rear in order not to shit itself. You use different width/aspect ratio tyres at your own peril

and while I'm not here to tell you what to do - it's your car - i will say:

1. it looks shit

2. the camber you'll run will destroy tyres instantly

3. the wear on CVs, etc will be greater

4. you run the risk of damaging the rim much faster

5. it will be uncomfortable as an enima, so if it's your daily ride, good luck with that

...and probably a whole lot more issues.

But hey, what price to get the bitches (which, contrary to what car modifiers think, it won't help you. F&F has a lot to answer for).

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
