The offset seems a little high, might hit the struts?

Yeah, you could trial fit a wheel to see if it clears without a tyre, and see how much clearance to the strut you'll have for a tyre. Might as well try both front and back. IIRC front will be the interesting end.

Um....in your first post you told us you were getting +35 offset, and now you're leaving it up to them. Say what?

Yes I did.. but after some replies I rang the Tyre shop and they said they tell yokohama what the wheels are for and they will send the correct offset for that car in the size I want 18x10

I was going to say.....no wonder guard rolling was required :P

But can anyone confirm 18x10 +20 does fit the front of a 32 without rolling?

For OP, if the wheel sits too far in you can always fix it with spacers...if it is too far out there is not much you can do without compromising your wheel alignment.

Tyre size 265/35/18:

Rears required rolling (approx. -1.5° camber).

Front, rounded sidewall design (Potenza TS02), -2° camber, just fitted without rolling. Changed tyres to a squarer sidewall (Falken FK452) and rolling was required.

sorry was that for 18x10+20? ie fronts and rears needed a roll.

If so, I don't get why people go 18x10+15 which are even worse??

  • 2 weeks later...

I have 18x10+20 with 255/35/18 and no guard rolling was required. Front or Rear. Fronts scrubbed a teeny bit on the inner guard plastic..for one day.

Edit on a R32 GTR.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
