Hey everyone! Im fitting 18x11 +20 (fronts) and 18x11 +20 (rears) and just need to know what ppl have done with this. Im fitting to an R32 gtst which has 32 gtr front guards. Need to know what lenghts ppl have gone to make this fit, front should be ok but rears im not sure.. Also good size and brand tyres to go with something mid price range ut still good performance 200-350 per tyre?

Thanks in advance for all the help and tips ;)

Tom

fronts are no issue on GTR guards!

Rears are going to be fun tho! will need soe serious guard rolling or over fenders at the least

my pics below are 18x9.5 +12 on R32 to give you an idea (the blue one)

as for tyre sizes that will depend on how much gaurd work you decide to do?

also try www.rimtuck.com to give you some more ideas

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
