I don't have a car to physically check but my HCR32 had 8.5J and 9.5J on back when I had it many moons ago. Can't remember the offset exactly but it was low (stock is +40), around the +20 mark. They just poked out a little at the front with no guard rolling or anything. Due to the design of the wheel I ran a 10mm spacer to clear the front calipers. 
Hopefully someone has the exact or very similar size to those wheels you're looking at to give a more certain reply.

For what it's worth, according to the Spec Tank page (Japanese) which I trusted with my current car to get the right size, even at 8.5J +30 (they don't have data for 9.0J) the rim might interfere with the suspension or inner guards at the front. It says it will extend 10mm inwards with that width of wheel. As for poke, it will increase 15mm outwards at that wheel width and offset. Add at least 12mm(?) to inner and outer measurements for 9.0J.

Don't get the fronts at 9x28. 9x30 (ie, the R33 GTR size, as previously discussed) is so close to poking out that you'd probably suggest that they actually do poke out.

The rears at 9.5" +38 probably won't fit. I was just under my car yesterday dealing with a broken toe control arm at the rear. I have 8" +35  (I'm pretty sure they are +35 - given what Enkei currently offer and that I bought mine many many many years ago). It's pretty flush on the outside on the LHS of the car and offset in about 10mm on the RHS (so, typical Nissan rear subframe not centered in the car bullshit). There is at least an inch of clearance on the inside to everything it could hit, on both sides. So I could clearly run a 9, but I don't think a 9.5 would be viable.

Using an offset calculator (to make it easy), the 9.5 +38 you want is going to stick in ~22-23mm more than mine. So as I say above, that should clear the suspension. The outside though? Going to stick out an extra 16mm. That would just poke on the RHS of my car and would be hanging out in the breeze on the LHS. Terribly.

I think 9" is the max that works on either end of an R32, and it is a squeeze at both ends.

Those are terrible descriptions of what is going on because you start reading the sentence and halfway through it seems to flip the meaning.

What you need is photos of the wheels in the sizes you're talking about with the disc options being talked about, so you can see if you think the fronts would look stupid.

I would think that if you had more curved spokes on the front so that they tuck back inside wheel more and leave more expose lip (compared to the rear), that it would look stupid . But you really should see first.

Is it not a thing to use the same disc on the rear so that it looks the same/better as the front?

How is it "ASAP" before the wheels have even been made?

If someone is out there making the wheels they should have diagrams of spacing for brake calipers and all other stuff for people in the very first run of a set of rims to consider.

Anyway, here's a link from this forum with R33 GTR wheels on a R32 GTST.

And here's a post from you, in that thread, with the same question. They won't poke out the front. They're 2mm further in from the fender.

Get 18x9 +30 all round and call it a day. Or 18x9 +28 all round and call it a day. Then it'll look the same.

If the +30 set and the +28 set have different faces, well, that's when you get into asking them for diagrams for brake caliper clearance.

Yes it's done to death but I need an answer asap as I have a chance to buy either set of these wheels

How will these fit on a R32 gtst standard guards and body. Rolled guards.

perfect, 235 front, 245 rear wide tyres, roll guards to make them fit.

as long as it clears your brakes

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
