[greylayzur]

i need a answer asap

i thank u very much in advance

they are not a GTR suitable offset. for 17X9 for a 32 GTR they should be around +20.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

stock gtr offset is +30 on 8inch wide

[Leewah]

Standard R33 GTR is +22 offset and the rim is 17x9.

[MerlinTheHapyPig]

yes, but car in question is an r32

[Leewah]

Oooops. Didn't read the full question. My bad.

yes, but car in question is an r32

Since everything else has been covered, I will add that standard R34 GTR wheel is 18 x 9 with a +30 offset and these fit on an R32 GTR

No its +30 as well and they will fit the 32 no problem .

When you buy aftermarket rims though even if the offset is right , they may or not clear the brakes you have to try them on .

But you have 8" rims ( front ) with +38 offset that means when you put them on the 32 R you will narrow the track by 8 mm on each side ( 16 mm all up ) and widen the rear track by 7mm on each side (14 mm total ). Would you want to do that ? I wouldnt , i would want to keep both the same and preferably widen both by a small margin .

If you use stock 33 or 34 rims you widen the track by 25 mm ( 12.5 on each side ).

you can`t use a different diameter front to back on any attessa 4wd car..so these are not suitable for gtr (8 and 9)

From the way I understand it, the problem is matching rolling circumference, not the diameter or width. The reason for that is that the wheels will rotate at different speeds if you have different rolling circumferences, which confuses ATTESSA.

You could have a 16" on the front and an 18" wheel on the back, and as long as the circumference is the same, you're ok.

no offence..but have you ever tried to match O.D. on different width rims..its near impossible..i`ve been going thru this for a while since my 260 turned up with same size wheels 17x7.5 but different offset front to rear,30-20 ..this is std setup... ,any of the aftermarket wheels that come up for sale with the correct offset are usually of a gts-t and i really wish it was easier to find 2 different width/profile tyres with the same O.D...but i`m yet to find them...

open to any suggestions

[cowie165]

Totally agree with you Jake, it is impossible! Just pointing out that from what I've read/seen it isn't technically the width, although you are spot on with regard to actually matching in reality.

260RS? Nice!
