Hi guys,

I'm currently in the build with a R32 GTR. I'm looking to maximize tyre width within the factory guards. I'm aware 18x10.5+22 is near on optimum.

Has anyone had any success with an 18x11 square setup? +30 offset is available and should fit reasonably flush, however I'm unsure how much inner guard/suspension clearance is available.

Anyone able to provide some feedback on this?

thanks in advance.

People have enough issues getting 275s/285s on a 10" rim without guard modifications (and assuming it's not silly low), and still grabbing the inner guard (even on 265s, depending on offset)

You're aiming to get a tyre wider than 275s on there with 11"?

So not sure how a 11" and 295/305 is really going to work with factory guards.

I would not attempt 11 inches wide that 18x10.5 +22 will need some decent camber tho, I have 18x10 +18 with bout 1.5deg camber clears inner plastic by about 4 to 5mm on full lock no problem with 265 35 ku39s so i cant see how you can fit any wider and not hit things unless you remove inner plastics then that's a different story.

my guard plastics still in also just used a heat gun to reshape lips so no cutting was done looks smick as.

275 is too stretchy for me, will go to 285 next round of tyre changes.

Your +20s with 275s should have the same gap to the upright as my +25s with 265s. Do you have more than 5mm gap? (And how much do tyres flex laterally on hard cornering?)

yeah your od would be a wee bit bigger with a 275 plus your 20 offset is 2 Mill further out than mine which doesn't help either on that corner angle. it's a combination of 2 mill extra offset and overall tyres diameter that hits that plastic liner.

My suspension is completely stock standard so no caster rod adjustment but if you were to adjust your castor you could bring your front wheel back if you wanted to but I would prefer it more forward that's just me

I have about 5-5.5deg caster. Agree, if I went a more 'rounded' tyre (have Hankook R-S3 at the moment) and raised the front a bit, it'll be fine.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
