Hello guys it's been a pain painstaking year and a half, and I'm now almost finished my gts4 project. All my mechanical parts are almost done and I'm soon ready for pain. I'm interested in know what wheel size and offset do you think I should go with. I have a set of factory clean r32 wheels that fit the car well and there super light, and I like that.
But now I'm thinking of a set of good Japanese light weight wheels that obviously look great. I like the concave look. I really would like for the wheels to be a good size, and the tubs are rolled already. I just don't know what size and offset would work, as this car is a bit slimmer than a gtr. I don't want to run no massive negative camber. I'm looking for 18 x ???
Any help would be appreciated.

8" +35 are the widest wheels (assuming same size all around) that fit on R32s without starting the "rubs here" "rubs there" "remove the liners" "roll the guards" circus.  Maybe 8.5 with just the right offset.  Can probably run 9s on the rear with a +45 offset.

R32 GTR wheels are 8" +30 and they do poke out just that tiny bit more, which actually looks fine, but changes the rubbing risk from being inner liners to rubbing the guard lips.

I have 17x8" +35 with 235/45 all around.  With just a little bit extra castor wound into the fronts they will scrub the front of the inner guard liner.  With just a little bit less castor they can touch in the rear of the front wheel well on heavy suspension bump travel.  Other than that they sit just inside the guard lips and I haven't had to do anything to the lips.  If I was willing to not be able to swap wheels front to rear, I'd have bought 9s for the rear.  I'm sure that there's enough room.

Obviously enough, the width of the tyre and the profile will also determine how far away from the hub the "corners" of the tyre get to, and so where they will rub.  If I had 245s on my car I'm sure I would get s few more rubbing noises.  But if I had 245s and a profile that made the tyre not quite as tall, then I might not.

I'll look around for some wheels for now I'll try the r32 gtr wheels.
After all I was lucky enough to get a mint set. Nice to know there 8s +30. I didn't know that. But I'm sure there marked somewhere on the rims.
I took a look and the rear could fit some wide wheels I'll post up photos I tried on of my r33 gtst wheels and it sticks out in the rear just a bit But if the offset were higher it may clear because there was like an inch and a half left on the inside before it touch's and arm. None the less it's not what I'm after. I'm looking for a square stance. And the 9s may me my choice. At 9s I should look for +45, damn that's up there. You guys think 255 will fit with a 35 side wall. Better be safe and go 235/45.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
