370Z Wheels on an R32 GTS-T

Hi All,

Im looking at new wheel options for the 32 GTS-T,

i stumbled across this picture, and wondered if anyone had put them on a 32 before.

the specs of the wheels are as follows,

Front: 18 X 8 +43

Rear: 18 X 9J +15

For the wheels to be flush with guards will i have to run spacers?

Um..... You might need a small spacer to make the front ones run fully flush.  But that's not the problem.  Look at the rear fitment on that R33.  R33s happily take larger wheels than R32s do, and the wheels in the photo are hanging out of the guards already.  They won't fit an R32.  9" wide with +15mm offset is very pokey on a 32.  So you'd need negative spacers.

well i'm currently running:-

17 x 9 ET17 on the front with a 20mm spacer

17 x 10 ET15 on the back

so surely if i go an inch narrower on the back with the same offset the wheel will sit 1 inch further into the guards wont it? - i think i've just answered my own question there...

 

My guards have been flared slightly and my car is currently sanded down in preparation for a respray so if i have to pull them a bit more then now is the perfect time to do it.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
