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.
