My prob is the wheels I wanted only came in a 18x10 with a +18 offset, so on a r32 gtr I'm worried that I won't get clearance runing a 265 and I don't want to mess with ride height. The tyres are gunna be KU36's and I'm planing to do the od trackday on them. Wat do you guys think?

I run those offsets on my car with minimal hassle. Slight rubbing with stock suspension and the guards hadn't been rolled. Now has bilsteins in it and guards rolled no scrubbing at all.

how rolled are your guards? mine have been rolled in the back, but there is a slight lip there still, prob 5mm, were the orignal lip has been bent back on itself, The guy before me was running 18x10 +22 with a 255, but KU36 dont come in a 255.

any chance you could give me the ride height your car sits at? from the centre of wheel to the guard? also do u have any extra camber in the rear or front?

cheers

Got some rotas, Craziest offset I've ever fitted.

Skyline model = R32 GT-R

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = 265 35 R18

Modifications to fit = roll lip on guards, bit of camber

Other wheels are nismo 400R wheels,

Right bit of an odd question guys, I've got a chance to get my hands on a set of Volk VSXX's, 17 x 8 up front and 17 x 9 on the arse. Going onto a HCR32, What offset/s will suit the car best.

Not interested in having them stick out, and if I can get away with it not rolling the guards. Just nice fitment without having to strech the tyres much or at all if possible.

thats a contradiction you wont get nice fitment without guard work and good offset.

fitment is a fine line no inbetween its either fitment, sunken or mexican.

what offset are the rims your looking at?

btm - they arent te37 copies.. more like bee R b5 or drift teks..

This is the problem I have, Offset for those rims is currently unknown. They arnt in QLD and aparently no offset numbers are on the rims.

All I can tell you is thats theres only about an inch of dish (yeah not really dish but still...lol) and the mounting face isnt very 'deep' in the photos.

I can roll the guards if need be but I cant see these rims really needing it if the tyres are steched a small amount.

Other than those rims im looking at Work Emotion CR KAIs, 17 X 7.5 and I think they are +35

:P:/ :/

stay away from both. first off the vsxx sound fair fail. the CR KAI's are gayer than aids.

if you want fitment for a 32 i'd think you should be looking in the 9 + 20 range scroll through some of the back pages you will be able to get a good idea.

you wont have scrape issues with 8" or 7.5" rims they are like saw blades the biggest issue you will have is it wont look good just wait for some good rims with good offset come up do it once do it right

Don't bother with CR Kai's in that size. You wanna be looking at 17x9 +17 all round with 225/45R17's and a little camber. These will tuck with a decent ride height and guards rolled flat.

Should have made myself more clear. Not the ones he bought, but the new ones Rota have released :(

Drifteks are just copies of Nismo's and BeeRs :cool:

Would anyone have any knowledge of how 17x8+5 (fronts) 17x9+11 (rears) would go on a r32 gts-t. No guard work apart from slight rolling on rear guards. I know the width is fine im just worrying about the offsets.

Hey guys, been doing a few searches but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for...

I've got 18x8's with 235/40/R18 KU31's at the moment.. not sure what offset.

I'm looking at fitting Lenso D1R HSPL's in staggered fitment and have been quoted as being R34 GTT Fitment:

17x8 +33mm Offset 235/45/17 KU36 Tyres

17x9 +35mm Offset 255/40/17 KU36 Tyres

Can someone confirm if this is correct.

Car is an R34 25GT Sedan with R33 4 Pot Brakes front and rear.

Thanks :P

They are mildish fitment but as the tyres will not be stretched at all, they should fill the guards with next to no camber. I personally would be looking at going wider on the wheels, but your best bet is to fit something similar up and see if they are the look you are after.

I would suggest a 225/45R17 on the front as it is the same diameter as the 255/40R17 and will also give the car a far more even look.

Cheers for the help guys! I'm in Brisbane and the place I'll be getting these from is in NSW, so it's a bit hard to get a trial fit... I don't mind the staggered look, main concern is ensuring fitment with the Nissan 4 Pots and staying within the guards without any modifications.

R33 GTST

17x9 + 35 Front and Rear

235/45 Front and Rear

Coilovers (not crazy low) fitted. No mods to guards required. one of the fronts slightly scrubs sometimes on full lock. Rears look like they could sit out a bit further.... maybe 9.5 inch rim next time. Or +30 on the rear.

Would i have any clearence issues going to 255/40 tyres on the rear?

Also i think the circumference would change.....?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

sounds like it will be a touch mexican but nothing ridiculous. should come up good if you put the effort in :D

since you dont want to do guard work or have em pokin out stick with these.. wont look great but wont be complete shit, i was of the understanding 18x10 +22 is a good fit on the 34 guards? a guy on here has/had them.. hunt around a bit will be way nicer looking

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
