Gday everyone,

Have been doing a bit of reading on the net but nothing has really stood out to me. Those that actually use their car for track work what offset do you use?

Looking to buy a set of 17s to use, but unsure of the best offset. Dont want to use spacers.

Im thinking something around the -10 or -20 is the go? Remembering this isnt a registered car.

Cheers

I can't remember, are you running modified knuckles? Do you happen to know what your camber, caster and SAI/KPI is? I'd probably stay away from running a negative offset, but if you want to go all out, by all means, please do. Just be sure to post pics when you do :P

Standard knuckles? 9.5+20 is about ideal on an R32. Search wheel offset calculator and plug in your rim width and try and keep your inner clearance about the same.

I had issues with my 17x9+30 R33 GTR's hitting on the chassis (as Tim knows :P)

Thanks mate, guess i dont need to go with a negative offset. I just wanted to give the wheels the best chance to no scrub at full lock. Plus have a decent track for control.

Yeah standard knuckles.

Guard to tire will be the worst offender. What width wheel will you use?

I use 9.5 and find a 235/45 is too tall, will be changing to a 225/40 or a 215 if I have to, would like to stick with the 225 though.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
