Car is a 4 door R32 GTS4

Would 18x10.5 ET15 wheels fit under R32 GTR front guards?

Would they fit under the rear with a 4 door blister kit / widebody?

Or is it going to be way too much work and I should just stick with 18x9.5 ET15?

I suppose they would still fit nice in the GTR fenders and should be able to get them under the rear with a bit of work?

If I went with the 9.5 inch wide, tyres would be 265/35R18

Go 9.5" wide with wider guards.

Unless you're looking for hellabumholestretchedstance look, then just slap 195 wide tyres on them and -5° camber.

Haha thanks mate, I am going for function over form so I want to fit the widest, lightest wheel I can in there, wrapped in the best rubber.

Hence why I am looking into Enkei RPF1s (18x9.5 ET15) wrapped in Yokohama Advan AD08R rubber, (265/35R18) :yes:

Hopefully I can find a place that can widen the rear guards out!

possibly,

they are not actually R comps are they... just S comp's with an R in the name?

No they are not. The treadwear rating of the AD08R is the same, 180. I believe they just improved the compound by using something called "Orange Oil".

Don't know all the details of it but they are 1.5s quicker around Tsukuba and only 1s slower than A050s. Pretty crazy for a street tyre!

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
