Correct Wheel Size R32 Gtr


Recommended Posts

I'm currently trying to figure out what would be best suited out of these two sizes but I don't really have my head around offsets too well.

I want the wheels to be a flush fit with the guards, not tucked in and not hanging out. Can anyone confirm if either of these sizes are correct?

18x10+20 or 18x9.5+22

If you have either of these sizes on your 32 I would be grateful if you could post close up pics of how they fit in the guards.

Have you had problems with that in the past? Seems a bit odd to me, I currently have 17 x 10's on it now and they clear the factory Brembo's ok so I don't see how a bigger diameter will be a problem.

Well if you already have 17x10 on there now, how do they sit with the guard? I have 18x9.5+12 and they're pretty flush. I would rather a 18x10+12 for that dead inline with the guards look.

They sit fine now but I have a 5mm spacer as the fronts rubbed the inside tyre wall without it, they came with the car and I have no idea what their offset is unfortunately.

So if +12 is dead flush, is +20 sitting in or out the guards?

I've got 18x10 +18 with my front and rear guards have been rolled and worked on. And it works perfect

Alright Deano any chance you could post some pics up for me so I know where they will be roughly?

Just super keen to know exactly how they will sit before I lay down nearly 4K.

Hi Matt, I run 18x9.5 +12 and they sit flush. (Tyres are 255/35/R18).

265's will scrub on the front but very minor on lock going slow.

I'll get some pics today

As per your first post

18x9.5 +22 will sit 10mm further in.

18x10 +20 will sit 2mm further in

Deano's 18x10 +18 will sit exactly the same as mine.

18x10 +20 will sit 2mm further in

Hope some of the snaps help your choice

Richard thanks for the thorough response that was just what I was looking for.

Your fitment is pretty much spot on what I'm after so 2mm further in the guards I'll be stoked with, I run 255's on 10 inch wheels now so that's what I'll be using on the new rims.

I am running CE28's 18x9.5 +15 with 265's all round.

Heaps of room! I could drive a truck through that guard gap.

I think a +12 would be better or a 18x10.5

Hi guys I'm new to this forum and new to Skyline ownership. I've recently brought a 32 gtr and am looking to put new wheels on it but have a couple of questions I hope someone on here can help me with:

1. Will 19 x 9.5 +30 fit under the guards and clear the struts, or will there need to be some modifications done?

2. Does any one know how much a standard rim weighs? ( no tyre )

Unfortunately the car is not at my house so I can't measure distances etc and like many haven't quite grasped the offset concept yet.

I assume because the standard (16x8 +30) are the same offset as the rims I'm looking at that, they will just be .75 inch closer to the strut and the guard?

Cheers

    • Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.   
    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.
