they should fit, but they are not ideal by any means.

far better off with 17X9 +20 all 'round.

edit: even though it may fit, it will look like shit as it wont even come close to filling the guards out either front or rear, and the front track will actually less than stock which is not a good idea. seriously, just buy GTR offset rims.

Hello From Canada! Sorry for a slight thread highjack but I have a similar question (also posted in the offset stickey thread a little higher up)

I tried to get an answer from our Skyline forums in Canada (GTRC) but was unable to get a definate firm answer therefore I come here to ask the Skyline Pro's if these rims will fit my R32.

I have a 1990 R32 GTR..

I want to buy Volk GT-7 Rims which are 18x9 offset +12 (ｐｃｄ114.3　5H) ... 245/40/18 tires

I need to know by tonight if I am going to be buying them, Will these rims Fit my GTR?? Some have told me they are too big, others have told me they were too little.. and I have also been told I will need to change the tire size and yadda yadda.. judging by the offset thread I believe they should fit but since I know nothing about wheels I'm asking for a definate answer from someone who knows better.

Thank you so very much!

Alex from Montreal :)

it will be pretty close mate. I had 17X9 +20 and with 245s on they were pretty close to the edge of the guards. +12 means they will be 8mm further out so it will be pretty tight. I would say they will most likely fit, but you may need to roll the guard lip a little.

17 x 8, offset 35 for front, 17 x 9, offset 38 for rear, will a GTR32 be able to use these?

If you are goign to run different width tyres front to rear be sure that the profile of the tyres are altered accordingly to ensure that the rolling diameter is the same front to rear.

All the talk i have even heard is that the cheater attessa needs the same rollign diameter on all four corners

Would you think they would fit no problem if I get the fenders rolled? Would they fit per say if I changed tire sizes? If so what size should I aime for? I'm just worried about the front rims really, I doubt I would have any problem with the rear although it would be border line.

Thank you

If you get the fenders rolled you should be ok on the rear. Depends on how much camber you run also.

The fronts are much the same. If they foul the outside of the guard get yourself a camber kit & dial in some -ve camber. It will help your handling & pull the tyre away from the guard.

thes best option is still to just buy the right GTR size/offset rims.

go for 17X9 +20 or 18X9.5 +22 - +26 and same size and offset all round. much less hassle, and it looks tough.

Roy: does that mean if i run the same tyres on all 4 using 17x8/+35 and 17x9/+38 rims its perfectly ok..? im still a bit confused..i have 18s on my car but i wanna have a spare set of 17inch rims for track use...265/35/18 semis are seriously expensive...however is there a huge difference in running say 255/45/17, or 235/45/17 like the ones u have and 265/35/18 semis?

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
