Will they fit? R32 Gtst wheel size - help please


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

Any help would be much appreciated! Im new on here so im sorry if this is the wrong place

I am looking at purchasing a new set of Panasport G7 c5c2, they are odd sized so im not too sure about the inner guard clearance.

Fronts: 17x9 +22

Rear 17x10 +42 

I have used willtheyfit.com to find out that the poke on the front is slightly more than the rear. 

Main questions are, will they fill the guards? and will they clear the rear coilovers? has anyone fit this sized wheel before? 

Can anyone also confirm the difference in guard clearance on an R32 gtst coupe? because it seems everyone likes to run staggered wheels with larger on rear?

Any help on this would be awesome!

Cheers,
Dan

I don't think your sizes will fit.  10" on the rear is essentially impossible on an R32 regardless of offset.  (Ignoring spacers, guard modifications, etc).

Anything bigger than 8.5" on the front is really pushing it too.  I have 17x8" +35 all around.  If I could find a workable offset, I could probably get an 8.5 in there without it rubbing on things, but as it stands, there is almost no clearance when the wheels are turned to the plastic liner and various other spots.

On the rear, I'm sure I could fit a 9" wheel, maybe even 9.5, again with the ideal offset.

Look at the very informative wheel fitment thread in this very forum to see what people have managed and what stupid amounts of camber they may have had to run to squeeze it in!

Thanks for reply @GTSBoy

I had a feeling this was going to be the feedback  , really appreciate you giving me that. I will have a look through the thread and see if I can find any similar offsets or sizes.

They are just really nice wheels and I wanted them to fit

30mm bolt on spacers

-5deg camber all round

185 wide tyres

do it

jokes don't

Sounds like those wheels are for a Supra or something (Toyota tends to run higher offsets).

For reference: early Nismo sizes were 7.5 +35/8.5 +38 or something like that, but you could get away with going half an inch wider.

I have a set 17x9 + 20 on my 32 gtst.

They will fit, and they won't hit the coilovers, but you will NEED to remove the inner guards, roll the guard edges, run a bit of camber and I run 235/45 tyres which are a little less than ideal width.

I've tried to set mine up with the least amount of camber necessary to keep the wheels a) inside the guards and b) avoid scrubbing, from memory fronts are around 2 - 2.5 on the front and around 1.5 on the rear.

I'm currently looking to swap these wheels out for something in the 17x8 range though to make things a little more practical.

    • 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
