Purchased Wheels For My R32 Gtr

[gdzlar1]

Hi guys as topic says I purchased my rays te37 time attacks earlier today and has rays/volks printing on the casting but the owner says it doesn't have stickers or I think he maybe can't find them on inaidw of the barrels, he advertised them as 18x11+18 now mind you guys these are Goinf on an r32 Gtr with rolled guards, I personally and few other guys think these aren't 11" as they have 265 tyres all around and aren't even that stretched, some people said for a 265 to be wrapped around an 11" wheel will need to be really stretched as 295s are recommended for them, here is a pic

get a tape measure and measure from lip to lip. Should be around 305mm (30.5 cm)

[gdzlar1]

Is there any chance these fitting an r32 gtr bro? I havnt yet received the wheels

[Ben C34]

They look pretty stretched to me.

[gdzlar1]

Well I was thinking I could tuk a 265 tyre under my guards with some rolling and a tad camber work, what are your guys opinions?

[NXTIME]

yes, they will fit, depending on your ride height, they may need the guards lipped.

[GTSBoy]

Those tyres are stretched to buggery and are an abomination.

[KiwiRS4T]

No they won't fit. Tyre walls meant to be vertical. What is the point of buying good wheels that won't fit your car and then putting stupidly small tyres on them? If you want to run 265s a set of 9in wheels will do it.If you want to run 11in wheels get some 295s as you say and get a panelbeater to make you some massive guards.

[junkie]

Do those wheels come with a snapback and some illest stickers??

[PL4T]

How can you personally think the wheels aren't the correct size as advertised but still go ahead and buy them?

[Ben C34]

Same thought pattern occurring when he said the tyres aren't even that stretched!

[Owgasm]

LOL.

265 on an 11" is already eh and cheap..... but when you look closely, they stretched nankangs T_T.

If you didn't know, Nankangs are very very average tyres.

You will have a lot of trouble fitting them to your car.
18x10.5 +22 with 265/35/18 is probably the better fit.

Yeah they look like 11" wide with those 265 tyres stretched that far. Those sidewalls are almost at 45°. OP doesn't really care about grip nor performance it seems.

Get adjustable upper arms front and rear, run about -3° to -4° camber all round then slam it. Don't forget to sticker bomb one front guard.

[Owgasm]

Sticker bombing is in the past Ravi.

[GTSBoy]

Yeah, it would have to be carbon look vinyl on one guard now wouldn't it?

[Sinista32]

So this is your reason for not going ahead with buying my Volk GTC's.

I mistakenly thought you were looking for a set of rims that fit a 32 GTR, not that you were looking for a set of rims that wouldn't !

Here I was trying to convince you that my rims were built for GTR's, fit and sit flush with no scrub.

Doh! - Now I realise I must have seemed stoopid to you.

You should have started off telling me you were after heooge camber & stretch/stance, didn't care about legal, performance or safety.

Then I could have just ignored instead of wasting time. Sorry mate I'm not a fan of that particular style/look and lack of driveability.

Damn these kids move on quickly these days. Back in my day, it was all about neon lights and candy apple paint.

My days too..

You'll be surprised actually. Neon lights are coming back...

Well.. LED lights.. and not so much colour... more a "glow" effect.

Anyways, back on topic, have sent you a pm OP.

Some like to cruise in their lowrider and some want to race at the track.

We all have different taste.

I probly dont like your fav colour, but who cares?

So "what fits" is up to you.

Do what pleases YOU.

You're right up to a point - neons, stickers, etc are a matter of choice but excessively stretched tyres have the potential to make the driver a danger to others.
