So I've got some eventual plans of widening my R32, and the topic of bringing the hubs out further as well instead of running deep dish wheels has come about. My question is, what would I have to do suspension wise in order to achieve the wider track width, instead of doing it in the wheels, doing it with the suspension. I basically want to push the hubs out further, so I don't have to run fat wheels. Only looking to use a 9 inch wide wheel with like a +10 to +20 offset, after going about 50mm wider

The question of putting the GTR assembly into my GTST has me wondering what's different, would it work, are the control arms wider, would it bolt in, do I have to make new coilover mounts on the control arm to accommodate for the added width, how do I push those hubs out further. You get the idea.

I only ask this as I'm not a fan of Stance nation style or deep dish wheels, and I'd like to run a slight concave faced wheel, whilst widening my 32 and trying to stay somewhat legal and under the radar from the Police

GTR stuff won't do it. It's not wider, for a start.

GTR suspension is both sufficiently different to make putting it into a RWD R32 a pain, and simultaneously not different enough to make it worthwhile. You'd have to make annoying swaps (the lower forks on GTR dampers are different to the through bolt on GTSt), and the front subframes are completely different, blah blah blah.

Look at GK-Tech's catalogue. All their stuff is aimed at drifters (which appears to be aimed at pushing the lower arms out as far as possible in the quest for more camber) and essentially offers you a lot of what you're looking for. Almost none of it is particularly street legal.....

You will end up running ~+10 offsets in order to achieve what you want. This is not particularly deep dish. Most GTSt owners would kill to be able to run that sort of offset.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
