Will My Wheels Fit?

[32DET]

Hey all,

I am looking at buying a set of rims/tyres but i can only get them from NSW and i live in Brissie so i was wondering if they would fit on my car before i purchased them and just hoped. The dimensions are:

18X8.5 +35 offset

With 245/40/18 tyres most likely, maybe 255's on the back

They are to go on an r32 gtst with widebody front guards

Cheers

The car is lowered approximately 1.5-2 inches if that matters.

They are only for the street so they wont need huge clearances for body roll etc. as i have a set of 16inch rims for the track

hmm judging by warrens thread they should be alright

He seems to have bought pretty similar sized wheels/tyres as i'm after.

But his car isnt lowered.

Should that be a problem?

hey mate,

glad you read my thread..

mine fit fine with no problems at all.. ie no modifications needed

personally i think you'l be laughing

the guy i bouight the wheels off had them on an s14 200sx with the car lowered very low.. he had no problems with fitting

and he had the stock guards too...

hope that helps!

They will probably fit but i think you'll need narrow tyres on the front or you'll have clearance problems on the inside.

Take a look at this thread for some pics of clearance issues with 17x8 +35 rims and 235/45 RE540s.

8.5 +35s should have 6mm less clearance so you'll have less room to play with than me. Narrow tyres should get you a bit more room.

Forget my previous post. They should fit fine but be very careful with anything wider than 235 on the front.

yeah i'm hoping that due to the widebody front guards if they are a bit close on the inside i coulde throw in some spacers or something so we'll see how we go..

Cheers!
