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

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
