Suitable wheel sizes for R32 GTR

Hi All,

I'm interested in purchasing Volk Racing CE28N however not to sure where to buy them from and roughly what they going for, does anyone have an idea? also I want 18 inch but will I have any problems with the guards? or the callipers (standard).

after looking online I was thinking 18x10.5+18 5-114.3 with 265/35 tyres.

does anyone think these will be too big or is it possible? without loosing the handling

Rays list them at 82,000 yen each.

So that plus freight.

Where from? Start with the likes of RHD Japan, Nengun and then move on to Jess Streeter.

You are looking at over $1000 per rim and they wont fit properly.

The problem with the sticky thread is that how ever well meaning it started out it is now inhabited and infected by the hektik fitment types.  In the olden days the universal aftermarket rim size on an R32 GTR was 17x9+22.  Which just about fits but often as not scraped on the rear.  Now it is apparently 20x11.5+0 with 10 dergees camber to make it fit and no way of applying more than 3 degrees lock.  Hektik in other words.

FWIW i'm running 18x10.5 +25s wearing 265/35s on my BNR32. Rear guards are rolled and the front rubbed with unmodified guard liners.

The tyre manufacturer data I looked at confirmed that 265 is a suitable fitment on 10.5in rims, but every tyre is different so check the specific tyre you're considering before you buy it.

im also running 10.5 +22 rears and 9.5 +15 fronts both with 265-35-18 no modification on my stock bnr32.

im not running hellaflush stance though

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
