18x9.5+22 255/40 A050s all round.

Would not recommend without serious camber on the fronts, or pumping them hard. Chewed the guard hard on tight corners. Rears were fine.

Are you sure that's 9.5? I know semis are usually a tad wider but that looks more like 255s on 9"

I am looking at this myself as I was wondering if I can get close with 9.5 +27. I have -2.2deg camber at the front, and happy to roll and maybe even flare guards if the price is right to get it done.

As you have it, how close is it from being feasible?

Yeah they are quite large. I think 265 are supposed to sit sort of flush on a 9.5, but mine are still quite bulged.

Update on my fitment. I pumped/flared my front guards and had minimal scraping issues. Running maybe -2/-2.5 deg camber I should have no clearance issues with the current height.

any thoughts on 17x10+38 in the front?

I've already got this in the rear and it sits super flush with 265s and would ideally like a square setup so is this going to work?

obviously going to need some fender work but am i going to smash my struts?

cheers

Pretty sure that'll hit. You can measure it though :P.

not for another couple of weeks, i'm away for work and was hoping to put an order in so i can have them for when i get home  :banana:

looks like i'll just have to chuck the rears on the front and see how she goes, fingers are crossed

I don't think they will, I test fitted my old rears - 9.5+38 on the front of my 34 with a 15mm spacer and there was about 10mm clearance at most

10" and +38 would be up against the suspension I think

Currently using 9.5 +26 and have about 10mm clearance

that sucks.. not giving me much hope but i'll still give it a crack once i get home.

i found this:

rpf1's only come in +18 or +38 in 17x10 and that to me doesn't look like a +18.. it sits how my +38's do on the rear. i do however have a coupe not a sedan but surely the guards aren't 20mm wider on the sedans?!

about half way down the page there is the 34 on 370z wheels. it looks as if he is running a square set up of the rear wheels and they are 19x10+30.

I can't see the first link being 10" wide all round at +18 offset, they seem to sit within the guard line!

I have a sedan, and the front guards are the same as the coupe, and the rears fit much the same as the front, maybe 10-15mm more clearance

The 370z rims seem to have a fair bit of camber to squeeze them under

Here's how mine fit at 18x9.5 +26, 245's on them. It's as wide as I'm willing to go as its a daily that I like to drive without smashing rims into guards etc

I couldn't get much more under the front with normal camber settings 577cfd20018b1_ImageUploadedBySAUCommunit

To add to the above post, I have 18x9.5 +27 all round, with 265/35/R18 AD08R (supposedly a little phatter than most) on all 4's. I have -2.2deg of camber at the front and about 1.5 on the rear.

The guards DO need to be rolled/pulled a little to get these to fit. After driving around for a week without this being done there were many bad sounds and long strings of rubber peeling off tyres and such. I don't think this would have been a problem if running 245's like above poster ^----

The rear does tuck in under compression (I have a large amount of squat in the rear of my car when on the fun pedal)

Lads,
I'm sure this has been answered previously but I can't seem to find the exact reply to the exact sizes I'm looking at.
Would i have problems running;
Concept Concave rims at
- 18x10 +20 all round
- 235/40 or 245/40 tyres
- Rolled front and rear guards
If not what would you guys recommend running? They stock 18x9 +20 also, would this be more appropriate for the front and 10" +20 for the rear?
I'm after an aggressive look that wont poke too much and id rather not run staggered but i also don't want to run Mexican spec either!
Sorry for the ridiculously pedantic requests but i can't seem to get the right answer and I'm stuck!

Help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

If it's for a 32 GTR, 10+20 will be perfect and can run a decent tyre size like 265

Hopefully someone here is an expert on wheels and offsets and can provide me some "real world experience and advice"

I am interested in acquiring a set of Rota RKR Wheels.

PCD 5x114.3 in 17 inch.

Issue I have is that I currently have a set of wheels that have printed the following 17x10 with ET 15 (doesnt state whether its a + or - ET 15) which fit like a glove! But are shit wheels

I am trying to figure out what my options are in relation to the Rota RKR offsets and what will work.

17x8.5 -10 or 17x9.5 -20

Hope someone can lend some advice on this

I can't seem to work out if a set of Rays LMGT2 17x9+16 with 255/40/17s  will fit on my R32GTR.

I've searched but can't find anything.

Has anyone fitted Rays LMGT2 17x9+16 on a R32GTR without rolling the guards? I'd like to avoid rolling them.

Any help will be appreciated 

Andy

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
