Hey guys, thinking about getting some xd9's for my r32 gts-t, just wondering if I should go 18x9 +20 on the front and 18x10 +18 rear. There is 18x10 +38 rears but I'm not sure which one to go with. My cars pretty low so it has a fair bit of camber on the rear. This is the stock 16's on the rear. post-133055-13992801246113_thumb.jpg

Hey guys, anyone know if 8.5 +35 offset Koya Drifteks will clear the front brakes on a R34 GTT?

They should do, as the standard wheels are 7.5+40. Not going to say definite yes, but if you are going drifteks, get a better offset than 8.5+35. Go for something like 9.5+20, more concave and aggressive look.

I tested them quickly with the 15mm spacers I had on, and they stuck out the guard around 20mm.

The reason for changing is I'd rather run rims without spacers, and prefer my rims sitting close to flush with the guards but not hanging out like some Mexican gangster's car :)

Caliper clearance was all I was really concerned about but it sounds like they should be fine, cheers guys

Dude, if they are sticking out the guards that much I don't think you have the right specs. I got 9.5+22 on my fronts and it was only JUST outside the guards, maybe 5-10mm. Even with 15mm spacers yours shouldn't be that wide...

Hey guys, just wondering if these will fit my 33.

XXR 536

17 x 9 + 30

17 x 10 + 26

Yeah, but the rears will poke 10mm+

Flared guards are needed, or slight camber and stretch.

Rolling is needed all round unless you want 4x4 spec.

Thinking of getting LMGT2s for my GTS-T. Only ones for sale near me are white. Would white wheels like that look good on a black R32? I usually go for like metallic colors....

Why are you asking for our opinion? If YOU like them then YOU should get them. Who cares what everyone else thinks, our cars are a reflection of ourselves.

I'm guessing because he's not sure if they'll work with a black car having not seen before. Aside from being able to test fit, it's not always easy to tell if it will look good. I thought it was a fair question.

In my opinion (take it or leave it), white wheels work best on cars with solid colour (i.e. not metallic), black, white, or LM blue as on special edition R33 GTR. Google image search also helps.

I live in the US where there are literally no skylines. I have no idea how this will look since the only car i've seen is my own and i can't find a pic of it on google. I just want to make sure it will look good in person, I want to find silver wheels but I can't right now and am debating if I should buy these ones now because they are in immaculate condition and I don't want to pass them up.

Thanks. I tried google image search but seaching for 'white wheel black skyline' doesn't seem to work very well, lol.

Driftek's dont change the amount of concave on the face no matter what the size... they just have more material on the inside and deeper holes lol

that's how they are now able to offer custom offsets

That's the problem with 'copies' eh?

not specifically... just comes down to rim design

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
