Anyone able to tell me how 18x9.5 +22 front and rear would go on a 32 GTS-4?

If anyone's running that or similar on their 32, what tire sizes are you running and how much work if any was needed on the guards?

  • 2 weeks later...

if you know the offsets of your current rims, go here http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and it will tell you how the other rims will sit relative to your current ones

Found a photo of a 33 with D1R's at 18 x 9 +32 which look fine

Used that tool suggested above and seems the 8.5's will sit 10mm further in the guards....

Thats not to bad I guess unless I just get 9's all round

Thought there was a difference between the position of the front and rear hub, but I guess not. Theres a fair few people running Identical wheels front and back that look fine

Thanks for that tool pistol-pete, good enough to work out from the photo i found how it will look :blink:

might find the offset for my wheels and check out comparison for them to when i find the time

look for my car 18x10 + 20 rear

front is 18x9.5 +15 w/ +25mm front fenders or look for hamish (joeyjoeyjoe's) car he is similar specs to what yo are after.

to answer your question is yes it will fit, yes you will need to roll and probably pull fronts a bit yes will look good

Hmm not sure of current offset might check it out another day

If +30 is flush for 9's then I dont mind if they sit 5mm in the guard if that's true lol

I have D1R in 18x9+32...they sit flush at front, but the back could be spaced out about 15mm or so...might be worth going 9.5 in the rear? I'm going to buy spacers for the rear. Doesn't look bad as it is though, unless you're one of those hella flush people who have to have to have the guard rubbing tyre before it is considered cool :banana:

Will need to roll guards if you're sitting lowish though...I kept scraping when cornering.

Hey everyone,

Looking at ROTA G-Force 18x9 5x114.3 wheels in gunmetal

Would a +27 offset fit? I was recommended by ROTA for the +27s, but i was told by tyrepower that my guards would need to be rolled with +27s, and that i should stick with something from a +30 to +40 offset, so i was initially going to go for the +35 offset on those ROTA's

Anybody know which fits better?

Thanks everyone

Hi Guys, I have read a fair bit of this topic but am still struggling to figure out what offset etc to get. I want to get a set of TE37's in 18's for my R33gtst. It only has coilovers and isnt crazy low and I dont want to roll the guards or anything like that. What would be the best width and offset for the front and back? I know it depends on what sort of look you want as well , i just want something that sits neat in the guard if you know what I mean. Thanks for the help.

Roll the guards - it doesn't hurt in anyway. You can go 9" front and 10" at the back +30 to 39 for both front and back which would be fine

27s are fine you might need to roll your guards but thats no big deal. back i wouldnt think need rolling depending on your ride hieght you can go much lower offsets too.

look for dezz he had te's on his 33 and try find sizes they sat exactlty as your asking but i dunno what specs or pm him .. either way. id suggest something along th lines of 9+30 (f) and 9.5 +15 ® should be safe could go slight higher if offfset if your worried like +35 front and +20/25 rear

Thanks guys much appreciated. I'll post what what I end up getting which may be awhile becuase I want TE37's in black which are proving to be hard to get unless I order them brand new. Thanks again

Vehicle: 1992 HCR32 GTS-t

Wheels: Work Emotion XD9

Sizes: 18x9+20 front and 18x10+18 rear

Tyres: Bridgestone Potenza GIII's 235/40/18 fronts and 245/40/18 rears (minimal stretch)

Guard modifications: Fronts - mean fitment/no rubbing, rears - rubbed shitloads until we rolled and flared the rear guards. now barely ever rubs unless i go over a big bump on the road at over 70-80kms

Height: Slightly above legal limit

Comments: Front didn't change much in terms of camber etc but rears cambered in a little and produced a bit of toe-in once we dropped the jack. never got around to buying a camber/toe adjustment kit but it didn't feel like it affected the cars handling very much so i didn't bother.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
