Wheels and tyres for a R32 GTS-t

[grandmasterb]

Ok so i got a HR32 GTS-t and i want to get a new set of wheels, just wondering what everyone else with 32's are running and what you think. If you have pics and dont mind sharing em please post them up and let me know any points to look out for or plan ahead getting a new set of wheels. I have been lookint at the ROH Adrenalin wheels at the moment in the shadow chrome finish. i want to put a set of 17's on all aorund, maybe 17x10 on the rear and 17x8 on the front, with DOT slick if the $$$'s are right? The wheels i have on the car at the moment look to stock and once i find a buyer (which i hope is soon) i will be looking at a new set.

GTR rims (r34) will look sweet as. Might need to roll/lip ur guards though (and they're expensive.

I fell in love with AVS Model 5 rims in Bronze at first sight.

The colour of ur ride would go well with some 18" white TE-37's =D

I think i saw a pic of them, what make of wheel are they or do yo have a pic at all???

I was thinking that gold or white would go well with the blue...

Hmm, here's the best i could find. Sorry, can't find any pics of them on a car.

One more thing, I would steer clear of Australian wheels on your r32. That's not to say that Aussie wheels aren't well designed and made, it's just in my personal opinion, Japanese wheels will look 10X better on a Japanese car.

Goodluck

Cheers for the pics, gives me something to look at at aleast. Wouldn't mind finding a set of white rims as i think they would look good

yeah i know what you mean. I've got a black r32 gts-t and white or bronze rims suit it best

The current ones on there look ok if you ask me.. a bit bland, but they could be worse.

Personally I wouldn't be running anythting larger than 17's on an R32 as you may well have guard rubbing problems. Tyres are much cheaper in 17" if you drive hard also. Depends whether you drive your car for show or go I guess.

Wheels are an expensive thing to spend money on a car though... $2000 odd dollars can buy a heck of a lot of other mods.

true indeed, however, i'm planning on getting 18's for my 32 as I understand it they will assist in providing greater feeling through the steering wheel. This is of great benefit as I am an avid lover of drift and love going to practice days.

I hear what ya saying predator about costs but they way i see it is if i seel my wheels (say $500) then put another $1000 towards them thats not that much really and im not out to have the quickest car with the most Hp's at the treads, just a neat looking tidy daily that i can have a bit of fun in every now and then.

Ok i hope the owner doesn't mind me using his pic, but these are the wheels that i was thinking about (or something similar) so if anyone has any other pics of info pass it my way??? Much appreciated GMB

Rowdy32 will be able to help you out with the correct offset for 17" wheels if you want to squeeze 265 on the rear without rubbing. I have 17x8s all round with a +35 offset, they are the white wheels in my sig

Also have a spare set of gold AVS Model 6 rims with +30 offsets that wrok fine/look good, and had an old set of Model 5 AVS wheels with the same +30 rear, but +25 fronts...and again they cleared everything and looked the goods.

So when running 17s with 215 fronts and 235 rears you can get away with a range of sizes and ofsets, if you want to maximise the tyre widthwiths then PM Rowdy32:)

If you are going to drift the car you should get some cheaper rims for than mine.

Koya wheels have just released a copy of the nismo LMGT4 wheel, you coudl get 4 for the price of one of mine id say and then have them sprayed whatever color you like if you destroyed one atleast you could get one localy NEW and CHEAP

My two cents

Not looking at drifting it at all, just a daily driver. But thanks for the heads up and hope ya dont mind me using your car as a example. A very nice, neat and clean example it is
