My prob is the wheels I wanted only came in a 18x10 with a +18 offset, so on a r32 gtr I'm worried that I won't get clearance runing a 265 and I don't want to mess with ride height. The tyres are gunna be KU36's and I'm planing to do the od trackday on them. Wat do you guys think?

I run those offsets on my car with minimal hassle. Slight rubbing with stock suspension and the guards hadn't been rolled. Now has bilsteins in it and guards rolled no scrubbing at all.

how rolled are your guards? mine have been rolled in the back, but there is a slight lip there still, prob 5mm, were the orignal lip has been bent back on itself, The guy before me was running 18x10 +22 with a 255, but KU36 dont come in a 255.

any chance you could give me the ride height your car sits at? from the centre of wheel to the guard? also do u have any extra camber in the rear or front?

cheers

Got some rotas, Craziest offset I've ever fitted.

Skyline model = R32 GT-R

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = 265 35 R18

Modifications to fit = roll lip on guards, bit of camber

Other wheels are nismo 400R wheels,

Right bit of an odd question guys, I've got a chance to get my hands on a set of Volk VSXX's, 17 x 8 up front and 17 x 9 on the arse. Going onto a HCR32, What offset/s will suit the car best.

Not interested in having them stick out, and if I can get away with it not rolling the guards. Just nice fitment without having to strech the tyres much or at all if possible.

thats a contradiction you wont get nice fitment without guard work and good offset.

fitment is a fine line no inbetween its either fitment, sunken or mexican.

what offset are the rims your looking at?

btm - they arent te37 copies.. more like bee R b5 or drift teks..

This is the problem I have, Offset for those rims is currently unknown. They arnt in QLD and aparently no offset numbers are on the rims.

All I can tell you is thats theres only about an inch of dish (yeah not really dish but still...lol) and the mounting face isnt very 'deep' in the photos.

I can roll the guards if need be but I cant see these rims really needing it if the tyres are steched a small amount.

Other than those rims im looking at Work Emotion CR KAIs, 17 X 7.5 and I think they are +35

:P:/ :/

stay away from both. first off the vsxx sound fair fail. the CR KAI's are gayer than aids.

if you want fitment for a 32 i'd think you should be looking in the 9 + 20 range scroll through some of the back pages you will be able to get a good idea.

you wont have scrape issues with 8" or 7.5" rims they are like saw blades the biggest issue you will have is it wont look good just wait for some good rims with good offset come up do it once do it right

Don't bother with CR Kai's in that size. You wanna be looking at 17x9 +17 all round with 225/45R17's and a little camber. These will tuck with a decent ride height and guards rolled flat.

Should have made myself more clear. Not the ones he bought, but the new ones Rota have released :(

Drifteks are just copies of Nismo's and BeeRs :cool:

Would anyone have any knowledge of how 17x8+5 (fronts) 17x9+11 (rears) would go on a r32 gts-t. No guard work apart from slight rolling on rear guards. I know the width is fine im just worrying about the offsets.

Hey guys, been doing a few searches but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for...

I've got 18x8's with 235/40/R18 KU31's at the moment.. not sure what offset.

I'm looking at fitting Lenso D1R HSPL's in staggered fitment and have been quoted as being R34 GTT Fitment:

17x8 +33mm Offset 235/45/17 KU36 Tyres

17x9 +35mm Offset 255/40/17 KU36 Tyres

Can someone confirm if this is correct.

Car is an R34 25GT Sedan with R33 4 Pot Brakes front and rear.

Thanks :P

They are mildish fitment but as the tyres will not be stretched at all, they should fill the guards with next to no camber. I personally would be looking at going wider on the wheels, but your best bet is to fit something similar up and see if they are the look you are after.

I would suggest a 225/45R17 on the front as it is the same diameter as the 255/40R17 and will also give the car a far more even look.

Cheers for the help guys! I'm in Brisbane and the place I'll be getting these from is in NSW, so it's a bit hard to get a trial fit... I don't mind the staggered look, main concern is ensuring fitment with the Nissan 4 Pots and staying within the guards without any modifications.

R33 GTST

17x9 + 35 Front and Rear

235/45 Front and Rear

Coilovers (not crazy low) fitted. No mods to guards required. one of the fronts slightly scrubs sometimes on full lock. Rears look like they could sit out a bit further.... maybe 9.5 inch rim next time. Or +30 on the rear.

Would i have any clearence issues going to 255/40 tyres on the rear?

Also i think the circumference would change.....?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

sounds like it will be a touch mexican but nothing ridiculous. should come up good if you put the effort in :D

since you dont want to do guard work or have em pokin out stick with these.. wont look great but wont be complete shit, i was of the understanding 18x10 +22 is a good fit on the 34 guards? a guy on here has/had them.. hunt around a bit will be way nicer looking

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
