Wheel fitment question

Have a 91 r32 gtst

Trying to run 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35/18 on all 4 corners. Is this going to rub like crazy?

 

Current setup is as follows:                                   17x7 +47 215/45/17 and 15mm spacer up front. 17x8 +47 235/45/17 in back 

Admin this is cross posted in the wheel fitment sticky but seems like there's not much traffic there so wanted to try a new thread to see if I could get some Info. Please delete if needed.

For what its worth I have 18x9.5 +27 at the front of mine and it needed roll and a lip to fit with 265's and it looks great, now, barely fitting.

I don't know what a R32 fits relative to a R34 (which is what I have) but I know that what I have is about as much as you can possibly ever fking get at the front of a stock guarded R34.

As soon as I read +20 I was like NOPE, and then 265 tyre NOPE x2 and then R32 NOPE x3

If you can find the differential between the two cars (or have a look at what others fit) it's good. Measure measure measure and the website will be 100% right, as it's the method I used to get the maximum tyre up front that I could.

Lol we all know the 33 was when the designers were on break...takes time to think of something good looking again after doing the 32...take a break then they came back with the 34 :O hah...To each their own everyone has different preferences but we all can't deny or at least I can't deny that one of the main reason I bought my car was for the beautiful sounds of the RB

 

allright, the Village People! 

i mean...ha fkn ha.

I think you get where I'm going with it...it's a weapon, a destroyer, etc.

Yep all of the above but they where the most mass produced skyline ever, which means plenty of cheap cars and spares available. No need for care factor. Crashed it at the track, buy roller for <1k and start again. Perfect track car.  they drive better than a 32 too but yeah they're dog ugly.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
