I run 18x9.5+12 w 235/40/18 allround, tyres tucked. not cambered and not flared... I get no scrub... it's all in the guardwork

I cant see how it would be truly working without sticking out a bit n at least 1-1.5 degrees of camber...

Also stretched tyres are something that i dont really count as admissable technique for something fitting.

id be keen to see pics of that Joey... No wait you do at the top of page 86 n you indicate a +22 offset, not +12 as here though.?

I can see that setup being +22 (and ill say it looks reasonable) but not +12...

Thats the thing with wheel fitment and this thread.

The problem is everyone has an opinion and what's really missing is the key aspects to fitment. How much guard work you prepared to do, how much camber do you want to run, what size tyre do you want to run and if you like stretch or not.

Until these things are sorted hard to recommend an offset or width.

18x9-1 215/40 Front -3 Camber could get away wtih a 225

18x10+18 225/40 Rear 0 Camber i do have a 25mm flare could get away with a 235

Going to dial in more camber on the rear probably -2.5 and massage the guards abit more as i'm going for some crazy fitment.

Mind you that the car is track orientated and i wouldn't recommend running what i plan on doing on the street as you'll be hassled and defected straight away haha

Just ordered a new set of boots for my 32 gtst.

17x9.5 + 18 front

&

17x10 + 18 rear.

Will let you know how i go ;)

Well i've only had a chance to test fit so far, but it's going to be abit of fun!

that was a +25, current rims are +12's and of course they stick out a little... never said they didn't.

tyres aren't really stretched, we are talking a 235/40/18 on a 9.5 - it's within the required specs of most tyres i run and only 1 size smaller than ADR's reccomend (245/40 legal minimum)

What suspension joeyjoejoe?

greddy type s 6kg rear 8kg front (wound up to max) superpro castor bushes front and superpro camber bushes front and rear. selby's swaybars front and rear. superpro pineaple bushes (set for grip).and gteck rack spacers.

18x9.5 +15 with a 235/40 18. guard lip rolleds up 100%, camber is set at - .2 with whiteline camber arms, about 3mm off guard, will put camber to -1 before the next track day. front is -2.5 camber, hits guard liner, no big deal

Wont that require a lot of guard work?? I am not a fan of the stretched look....so want tyres that sit flush basically...right up to the ends of the rims if you know what I mean...also what about rubbing on full lock??

can anyone tell me what sort of rims these are??

i'm sure i've seen them a million times before but never saw them on an r32 till now.. and would definitely consider these after seeing this!

look for photos of r32 GTST with R33 GTR rims (17x9 +30)

Will give you an idea.

Here is a photo of 18x9 +30 (username: timr32gts)

Looks like xd9's ....

indeed they are! thank you sir.

another inquiry. the following are pics of an r32 i was considering buying back in 2006. i have a question re the rims on it.

i know they are an american brand: HP design. model - HPR5

the ones on this particular car were 18", but i don't know what width that is on the rear. from my own research, every 18" example of them i've found was +38 offset and was available in 18x8 & 18x9 (+38 on both). so i'm picking the fronts are probably 18x8 but can anyone shed some light on what width those rears are? i've been a bit apprehensive about getting 9" rims for the rear of my r32 because i know a lot of the time there is guard/lip work involved, and i dont want any of that. but i was thinking 9" with a +38 offset may work even because it sits inwards just that little bit further than most other 9's? because i'm pretty sure this particular car had no guard work done. and if i can still get the rear down to a nice height without any rubbing that would be awesome.

this is pretty much the exact fit i'm going for, so just want some insight to whether the rears are 9" or 8". these are the most telling pictures i have of it.

chur!

25396297 full

25396196 full

25395936 full

thinking of getting work meisters sp1 3pc wheels.....want to run 18 x 8.5 +29 fronts...and 18 x 9.5 +24 rear....is that ok for the rear??? other option is +37

THANK YOU

go the +37, +24 will be pretty mexican. +37 will be flush with the guard and look great (will require rolling/cutting the arch guard on tho unless u want to run excessive camber or if the car is lowered).

+37 and some good 265's or 275's and you are in looks and traction heaven...

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
