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?

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
