What Is The Widest You Can Go For 32 Gtst Rims?


Recommended Posts

Depends what you are doing with your guards really.. If you are buying new you can ask for custom width and offsets. My rears are 18x11 Works :D Have smoothed over bolt on guards front and rear.

2nd hand the widest 18's I've seen is 12 wide. Wich are meant for wide body GTR's with Veilside kits or the like.

mad. thanks!

Hey,

As long as wheels and tyres are within the guards, and they are not rubbing (esp. fronts on full lock), then there shouldn't be a problem. That's how I figure it here in SA but it might be different where you are.

NB. The max width for any vehicle, IE passenger car is 2.5 metres. If you saw the latest issue of HPI, the huge butt Supra is 2.1m. That's wide enough me thinks.

Coolio. Yeah i did see "baby got back" lol i think it was mad! although the door handles looked a little difficult to get to... So how wide is a hummer then? I guess they would be about the benchmark for a passenger vehicle.

we've got 17"x13" on the kakimoto widebody r33, 18"x12" on the widebody R32, and 20"x12" on the widebody lexus

yes... we love our widebodys.

I think 10.5" is the widest you could fit under standard rolled guards, even then you'll be hanging out a lil.

All depends on the offset you get as well... no point getting a kilometer of "omg fully sick uleh dishhhhhhh" if it rubs on your suspension and inner guard.

what i want to know is who is we funky and how did you buy all these widebody GTRs? last time i saw you you were driving a non-turbo auto 32 GTS! lol times change...

we = guys at j-spec. lol they're not GTRs. both the widebody skylines are GTSt's.

And I've never owned an auto (cefpt for my old man's ceffy). SIF own an auto skyline!!!! it was a GTS though, but sold that a while ago.

no the rims aren't works... r33 has kakimoto rims, r32 has SSR vienna's, and lexus has fabulous.

ah yeah. i should have guessed. me bit thick this arvo and should have looked at your profile and noticed the absence of the word W I D E BODY. :D

well here's a few widebody pics from my private collection taken by me in japan a few months ago for some inspiration... now this is WIDE:

mmm i never cease to enjoy looking at those pics. :laugh:

Throw up a pic of those 17x13's Shan...

My younger bro has 18x10 +21 under his R32 with rolled guards. I'll put a pic up after it's finished at the paint shop.

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
