Hello From Canada!

I tried to get an answer from our Skyline forums in Canada but was unable to get a definate firm answer therefore I come here to ask the Skyline Pro's if these rims will fit my R32.

I have a 1990 R32 GTR..

I want to buy Volk GT-7 Rims which are 18x9 offset +12 (pcd114.3 5H) ... 245/40/18 tires

I need to know by tonight if I am going to be buying them, Will these rims Fit my GTR?? Some have told me they are too big, others have told me they were too little.. and I have also been told I will need to change the tire size and yadda yadda.. judging by this thread I believe they should fit but since I know nothing about wheels I'm asking for a definate answer from someone who knows better.

Thank you so very much!

Alex from Montreal :)

Skyline model = 1996 R33 GTST

Wheel Brand = Volk TE37

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +22

Tyre size = 235/45/17

Modifications to fit = None (front wheels lightly nudge front bar at full lock, otherwise fine)

Hey all hoping that someone can confirm if these will fit with no clearance problems

Wheels i am looking at getting are 18 x 8 +30 offset they need to go on a S2 R33 GTS-T and just want to confirm that they will clear stock calipers, dont need the gaurds rolled and don't need spacers... being a +30 offset does that just mean they will sit out a little more... hopefully still with in the gaurds

Any help would be appreciated :)

Cheers Leigh

yes +30 means they will sit out further, but does not mean it will clear ur calipers. To determine that, you will need to find out what disk type the spokes are...ie: O disk, A disk or R risk. You can have two wheels with identical offsets and widths but if one is O disk and the other is A, you probably find the O disk won't clear. This is normally located on the sticker or stamped on the inside of the spokes. If that info is not available anywhere, the only way to find out is a test fit :)

Refer to pic below:

Assuming they clear the calipers, 18x8 +30 should sit nicely within the guards on a GTST.

I learnt this through going through various diff jap offsets and wheels and having 4 pot calipers on the front for GTT brakes makes it that much harder to determine whether a wheel will fit or not.

Skyline model = R33 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +20

Tyre size = 275/35/18 all round

Modifications to fit = none!

i would not go much wider at the front....but the car looks sexy...

Skyline model = 96' r33 gts25t

Rim model: Buddy Club P1s.

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = front: 8" rear: 9"

Wheel offset = 32 front, 37 rear

Tyre size = front: 235 / 45 /R17 rear: 255 / 40 / R17

Modifications to fit = none! Well on full lock the fronts use to scurb agains the plastic inner guards. So i just took them out.. no biggie at all!!

Hi all. Just thought I'd post this up as I have these fitted to my R33 25t after a 6 month wait for tyres!

Skyline model = '97 25t

Wheel diameter =19"

Wheel width =8.5" front 9.5" rear

Wheel offset =+25

Tyre size =225/35R19 Front, 265/30 rear (Dunlop Spormaxx)

Modifications to fit =Rear guards lips rolled. I had 235/35 on front when I first got these and had too much guard rub up front. 225/35 has fixed the problem it seems!

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
