[NSNPWR]

32 GTR

18x10 +12F +11R

265/35/18 Potenzas

Rolled rears, slightly rolled fronts...havent pushed it in the hills but have a feeling it may require more massaging on the fronts...

true... but not by more than 10mm

Rolled guards, camber and stretched tyres

can do without camber, but needs a lot more flare

Fitment done with stretched tires and camber, still need to roll guards. some scrubbing.

hey

I went to a rim shop today to get a quote on the Lenso D1R rims

from previous post few pages back I was going to go with

front 18x9+32

rear 18x9.5+30

however they no longer make the 9.5's

which means id have to go with a 10inch for the rear to get flush

I'm hoping they still make the 18x10+36 as outer position like Alex said will be the same from the outside

but being a 10inch rim will it fit with no other modifications, I currently have coilovers (only wound down about 2cm all round so cars not low low just a nice height atm

also for tyre choice I'm thinking of going with ku36 245/35/18 front and 265/35/18 rear (as they don't make the 255 in the ku36)

what do you guys rkn about the tyre size choice? and if anyone can give some advice on the 10Inch rear rim would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Jason -PS I am going to go back tomorrow to find out for sure they make it in the 10+36

or what kinda work will i be lookin at to get 9 +15 on the rear....keeping in mind i dont want to run camber

[alr33x]

yeh should be fine bro

so you know thre is only 8mm difference between the 10+36 and 9+15 so shouldnt be make or brake.

265 is a massive tyre man just so you know.

[JPCR33]

yeah 265 is fairly big, but if i were to go with the 18x10+36 id need that cos dont wanna stretch the tyre and ku36 dont come in 255 unfortunatly, alternativly i can get ku31 and run 255 which should be fine aswell on a 10" rim, just thought 245 be a bit to small...

if 9.5+30 is flush wouldnt that mean the 9+15 will stick out of guards 9mm?

[alr33x]

yeh but with natural camber of been low or some camber arms you can pull it back in its not really that much like 9mm.

245 isnt that stretched on a 10 it fits quite well actually, a 235 is fair stretched or lower.

[JPCR33]

fair point, i got a bit of natural camber atm with my coilovers just been fitted but gettin adjustable camber arms to fix that, as a daily drive i dont want camber wear on the tyres...if it wasnt a daily i wouldnt care that much.

but true 9mm isnt allot but cos i aint gonna run camber to tuck it in rules out that size rim for the rear

lets just hope they make the 10+36 which is pretty much flush hopefully it wont hit anything behind the wheel for being too wide and just wrap it in 245s or 255s , because the wheel arc is goin to sit above the wheel so dont think rolling the guards or flareing should be an issue...or will it?

[JPCR33]

not to worry went back to the rim place cant get them sizes, looks like ill just go with the 9+32 all round which should only stick in 8mm which isnt that bad its pretty much almost flush

but thanks to everyone who helped me

[alr33x]

depends on suspension travel if it will hit likely no.

10s dont scrub internally in my experience

[jjman]

go the 265's.

iv got 265's on my 18x9.5's and they are only just 'flush witht he rims'. So on a 10 inch rim they will me starting to go towards stretched, let along a 245 etc.

Im actually about to throw a 275 on as a replacement this weekend. Ill let you know how that goes on a 9.5..

[boiracer]

that is a whole lotta tyre!! nice

[JPCR33]

thanks for the reply guys but the offset for a 10inch cant get to fit my car, so im getting

front 18x9+32

rear 18x9+32

i want to get kumho ku36 they come in 235, 245 and 265 they dont make the 255

what would my better option be 245 front and 265 rear?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

different rims

[alr33x]

ihad 265/35s on a 10" no stretch what so ever given thats the recommended tyre size.

a 245 is fine too and cheaper.

[jjman]

go for some staggered fitment.

common staggered fitment is 8s n 9's or 8.5 n 9.5

iv got the latter with 235 n 275. Loves it and the handling is epic with a little lower, little stiffer (8kg-F, 6kg-R) little camber n adjustable damper. Put the power down real nice with 225kwatw...

[whizzn]

Just about to buy set of new Lenso D1R rims for my 32GTR

I don't like stretched tyres on rims so looking for right size rims to sit flush with guards without any part of tyres or rims poking out so thought i'd ask you guys your opinions

I can get these 2 sizes which i think would be right for a 32GTR

18x9 +15

18x10 +22

Would the 10" rims fit both front and rear on these cars without poking out?

Now in saying this i don't like the look of stretched tyres either so i would need something around 265 or bigger right?

Don't mind running staggered fitment either as long as all fits under guards

Any help appreciated as want to get it right first time
