Would 17x8 +28 with 255/40/17 tires fit on the front of a R32 GTS-T without rubbing the fender or impacting the suspension?

This question comes from an argument I had with a guy who claims it would be fine. However I want to be proven wrong.

I have a '98 R34 GT-T. 

I had some Rota Grid 18x9.5 +35 and 18x10.5 +35 with 235/40 tires. 

Fitment looked good but the fronts actually scrubbed on the inside suspension when turning too far. The 235's on the 10.5's were also a bit TOO stretched for my taste.

So I just installed some Work Emotion 11R 18x9.5 +20's all around and kept the 235/40 tires. The fitment looks perfectly flush with the rear fenders but sticks out considerably on the front. VERY aggressive but it DOES fit with stock fenders and doesn't scrub. Sticks out more than I was hoping but I do like it. I don't intend to roll unless I somehow end up scrubbing. I'm running stock GT-R shocks/struts.

Car definitely gets more looks now. :)

I'm sure this has been beat to death but after searching and not having luck figured this would be the thread to ask my fitment question on.

 

Have a 91 r32 gtst

Trying to run 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35/18 on all 4 corners. Is this going to rub like crazy?

 

Current setup is as follows:                                   17x7 +47 215/45/17 and 15mm spacer up front. 17x8 +47 235/45/17 in back

Hi all

Just bought an r34 gtt. Currently has 18x9.5+22 front and back with 235 to the front 255 to the rear. Tyres are pzero but have 30 % tread left on them, so is basically undrivable in 1st-3rd with 300kw and 885nm.

I have hks coilovers lowered with about a 2 inch gap from guard to tyres. Guards are all rolled too. Currently the front scrubs but I think this is on the loose inner wheel plastic guard (so I don't think I could or would really want to go bigger than 235 as I would need some more camber or raise the car)

With the new tyres im thinking of buying, can I afford to go for a 265 or 275 on the rear or will a good quality 255 suffice?

When I ask can I afford to go, obviously anything is possible, but would anyone have a photo of this so I can see what it would look like?

Guys please assist. Wheels and I just do not get along. Someone are good at it, I am not!

My r32 gtr is lowered on hks hypermax coilovers. Currently sitting on 17's with a 225 tire.

I want to purchase te37's preferably 18inch and be able to fit a wider tire. Nothing insanely aggressive, but proper looking.

I want 18's because I will most likely be upgrading the calipers and need them to fit. the stock brakes are garbage. 

Also, no rubbing issues!

Please suggest. 

Thanks

 

I'm not a noob, promise. Just suck with wheels

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
