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

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 :)

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
