Nope

Didn't think so

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.

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.

The Drifttek is similar to the LMGT4 so it should easily clear the brakes.

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

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.

That's the problem with 'copies' eh?

Has anyone got the Advan RS-D 18 x 10 machine/bright black 10 spoke, like to see some pics on a black R32/3/4

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....

Yeh I like white on black

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.

Do it.

^ Agreed You can always change again without much hassle if you decide you don't like.

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

not specifically... just comes down to rim design
