Wheels for my R32 :: Will they fit

[MR R32]

Hey Guys,

I am looking at getting some wheels for my R32 - either 17's or 18's. I am after something in Shadow Chrome with a dish. I really dont want chrome, and I'm not to keen on buying 2nd hand wheels. I have been getting the run around from a few places telling me that pretty much any wheels will fit my car. I want something which looks great and is good for every day driving.

I am currently looking at buying either of the 2 wheels from Tempe.

Can anybody tell me if they will fit my R32GTST?

If anyone can suggest something better, that would be of great help.

My budget is $2K

Thanks.

i dont think 9.5 will fit on the back. ive got 9s on the back of my 32 and the rims sticks out a little. if the tyres had vertical side walls rather than slightly stretched, then they wouldnt fit. oh yeah, and my wheels have zero dish, so even less likely with those wheels you like.

but if they fit go the first ones for sure. much better than the second ones.

ive had alot people comment on my rims, they are 18"s, shadow crome

[GRUNTN]

had alot of trouble finding rims 4 mine but got these 18's

[MR R32]

How wide are the rims guys?

Do you have any problems with scrubbing etc???

[aybee]

these are my rims.

8in on the front, 9in on the back.

235s on the front, 265s on the back.

But the 265s are falken and are not real 265s. dont ask me why. they are only slightly wider than the 235s. as you can see in the pic they are streched over the rim slightly. if the sidewalls were straight they would hit the guard. but as they are now no scraping. front rims could be wider.

go the first set dude much nicer wouldnt mind a pair my self.

[Aya]

it will fit, my one is F:255, R:265

18 inch. Had 4 set of Jap GT spot 18inch for sale. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/classifie...at=&name=&=&sl=

235-18's mine scrub only at full lock (even with gaurds rolled) atleast they fit the front brakes

the top rims u posted are horny. but with that amount of dish i rkn u will need to use spacers or they will rub the inside. problem with spacers i find is that they push out the base of the wheel which sometimes will cause the rims to stick out, i.e. need flares.

i've got 10" rears with 265s and a bit of dish.

they came with spacers and stick out a fair bit...

here are some pics

coco69: It's amazing what the right offset does! I would've said 10-inch would never fit, widest would be 9.5 inch on the rear, but your car proved me wrong (even if they do stick out a bit).

I've got 9-inch on the rear:

And with +32 offset, the rim actually sticks out slightly. If it wasn't for the slightly stretched tyres (245/45/17) it'd be illegal... in Japan that is.

***The Japanese wheel manufacturers officially quote a maximum width of 8 inch wide wheels for the back of an R32 and 7 inch on the front!!! I for one couldn't accept 7 inch wide wheels... not after 3 or 4 previous FWD cars with them.

9.5

fit fine.

[Rezz]

9.5

fit fine.

Running a bit of camber? Whats your offset? It looks sweet btw

[silver gts-t]

what camber??

does +38 sound right?

[coco69]

oh my... that is just sexy... all that negative camber, dish and that ride height.

rezz, so whats the illegal bit in japan? you not allowed to stretch the tyres? or is sticking out illegal?

does anyone know the widest tyre specs that can stretch across like 9-10" rims?

[xRHETTx]

Mine are 17 x 8" +25 (i think) on the front and 17x 9" +38, Fit perfect, as long as the tires at the rear are pretty stretched (235s at the moment).

Sorry pics arent very good.

rezz, so whats the illegal bit in japan? you not allowed to stretch the tyres? or is sticking out illegal?

Thats right, the sticking out is illegal. You have to run some sort of wheelarch extension or pump the guards. Same as in AU right? But guys here (as you probably know already) just ignore the law and put on crazyass widths.

I just got the same rims 8.5 inch front and 9.5 inch rear in white. The rears have a nice 3 inch dish on em. They are actually not that heavy as some people might tell you and weighted about the same as my oz racings rims and other work wheels i tried out.

But i got mine from donnellans as the falken tyres in the tempe package are the el cheapo ones. With donnellans you can also go on 6 months interest free if you havent got the $$ for em.
