I don't understand. That is not stretching the tyres onto the wheels at all. The correct tyre size for an 8.5 " wheel would be 235 or 245. A stretch would be a 225. Cramming a 265 on there is a big, baggy bulbour 1970s style fitment.

Sorry mate, what I mean in my head by overstretched is that it overhangs on an 8.5" rim :)

Looking at changing wheels, currently have 18x9 +37 rear w/ 265/35R18 & 18x8 +36 front w/ 235/40R18. Which fit great but don't really like the staggered fitment.

Looking at Enkei rfp1 18x9+35, just wondering if 18x9+35 rfp1's fit on the front of an R33 gtst and clear the brake calipers?

I think I had 18x9 + 35 on my R34 at one point and without a spacer it did not clear my front calipers.

R32 Gtr wheel offset questio :

 

im looking at getting 19x10.5 L +15 offset. I know this is very aggressive, it would be fitted with a 275 tyre on a car with rolled guards. Has anyone fitted 10.5in Rims to a 32gtr and what offset did you go with?

 

thanks

Lips NOT rolled, inner guards in place, natural camber on coilovers, reasonable lowering.

Panasport G7 C5C:

FRONT 18X10 +24 AD08R 265/35ZR18 (no spacer, the tire slightly shaved the edge of the fender liner plastic bolt holder, and 3mm clearance with the upper arm)

REAR 18X10.5 +27 AD08R 265/35ZR18 (slightly adjusted with 3mm spacer so effective +24, clearance with lip around thickness of a hair)

Hey guys, would I be right in going with 18x10.5 +22 with 265/35 on my R32 GTR with no guard mods or aggressive camber? From what I have researched it appears I should be fine depending on what tire of course, cheers

Perhaps look at the post immediately above yours.....

I did mate, not much use to me with no car mentioned yet profile states S13?? Presuming it is an R32 GTR my set up differs by just 2mm which might be just enough to give me some scrape action... hence why I asked if anyone has run this exact set up.

I see 3 pics of a gun metal r32 with panasport rims so I don’t see a reason why he also needs to mention what car they are on.

have you tried using any of the tyre/ rim calculators then going out to your car to take measurements?

I cant see those images for some reason?... Just  JPEG symbols, that helps a lot then if it's a R32 GTR.

I have used rim calculators and it appears the tires at such a size should either clear or fail to clear by less than 3mm which is why I asked in case others have more knowledge on the set up.

Hmmm, might be the image host does not like you for some reason. They are on zupimages.net. Can you see them attached to my post and hosted on sau?

@jibe, hope you don't mind me attaching your photos again. Otherwise let me know and I'll remove them from my post. :)

It's a bit of a shame that random image hosts tend to disband eventually and a few years later it all ends up in dead links. Attached to the forums it should stick around as long as the forum does.

Yes it's an R32.

I bet your specs will be OK. AD08R are very wide 265's speaking. So the 2mm offset defference with my spec should be OK with a more conventional tire.

Ok sweet, thanks for that Jibe 👍🏼

I’m a noob to these cars and in the USA. Read through 70+ pages here but just want to clarify.

 

I’m importing a R32 GTST and everyone seems to think Enkei RPF1 17x9 +22 is the best setup for these wheels and car. The people I’ve talked to mentioned either spacers or having to roll fenders.

 

spacers I don’t mind but I’m not attempting to roll fenders or cut out wheel well stuff. 
 

will these fit without having to modify the body in any way?

 

thank you in advance for any assistance you provide 

Rolling fenders is pretty much a requirement for wheels to somewhat fit/look good/maximize tread. I wouldn't be surprised if it's required to do it on a 17x9 +22 for a R32. Rolling the guards is pretty much  considered part of any fitment, and safe enough to assume it has been done/will be factored into any decision as to whether something fits.

I have 18x9+30 on a R34, which has (a little?) wider guards and they are rolled, although I have most likely wider tyres on them. So therein lies my guesstimation about the R32 and wheels that sit 8mm further out.

    • 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.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
