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.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
