I've tried to measure the offset of my stock R32 rims. It's a bit hard to be sure on the car but they seem to have 40mm offset.

If my 6.5" R32 rims are 40mm offset and Gtt rims are 7" would 35mm be near the ideal offset?

Does anyone know what the actual Gtt offset is?

They are 7.5 wide not 7.

Stock tyre size is 225/45/17.

Offset is roughly 35 front, 38 rear. - May want to double check that

Are you sure the offset is different front to back?

I bought a set of GTT rims today and they are all the same. The offset seems to be 39 or 40mm. It's a bit hard to measure to the mm with the tyres on.

From outside to outside the rims are 22mm wider than my 6.5" R32 rims so yeah, they are probably 7.5".

Anyway they look like a 100% legal upgrade for the R32 :)

Yes i was wrong about the offset. That was the offsets for 18x8 and 18x9 to fit my car. Nfi why i remembered at the time that they were stock offsets.

But yes they are most definitely 7.5 wide. Tyre placards etc state it.

I tried fitting them today.

Julzz was right, the fronts don't quite clear the TypeM caliper.

A 3mm spacer would fix it but aren't these illegal?

They only just touch as you fully tighten the wheel nuts.

Actually there would be plenty of thickness in the caliper to shave about 2mm off the edge that touches the wheel.

Is this too bodge?

majority of people shave off the Nissan wording on the caliper, this usually gives enough clearance for the rims.

id prefer to do that instead of spacers, as spacers are illegal.

Mine didnt touch the nissan logo, it was far from it. It was hitting the whole edge of the caliper when the tyre was rotated.

I have 34gtt rims on my 32gtst, they are 7.5" wide. I'm running 225s on the front and 245s on the back.

Initially had to run a 3mm spacer on the front as the rims bound up on the brakes, when I changed to 33gtst brakes this problem went away and I didn't need the 3mm spacer (there is barely 1mm of clearance though).

I have fitted r34 gtt rims onto a r33 gtst with no problems at all.. No need for spacers etc

However it might be ideal putting 3mm spacers on.

offsets are 38 (so i have read on these forums in the past threads)

I dont see why it wont fit a r32.

They got smaller brakes right? compared to 33s? if so then will fit perfect

I have seen pics of 32s with 34 gtt rims :P

bubba- WOW you got 245s on a 7.5inch width rim?? how? lol

thought 235s would be the most..

Yup same here.

however, its like a mm off from touching.

Rims still rotate freely!!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
