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.

i ran 17x9+22 but with 235/40

they were very small in the guard, if a 265 18 fits a 264 17 should be no issue (depending on sidewall provile being comparable in rolling diabetre)

    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
