wow wouldnt 9.5inch front be a little to big??

I dont think you will get a gd handling out of that.

But then i could be wrong!!

What size rubber you plannin to put on them??

You might have to roll your guards,,

[R324DR]

9.5" will fit the back fine with 255 tyres without any modification. i think you'll find that 9.5" on the front will rub without modification. i have 8.5" on the front of my car and they sometimes rub on full lock.

This is how guard rolling is done. I'd leave it to the professionals if I were you as there are not many ppl that can do it properly and you will run the risk of your paint cracking...not so much an issue if you're a spray painter. Oh and you'd be better of exchanging your fronts with 8.5...less hassle and cost to fit.

i still beleive 9.5inch front are way to big..

8.5inch max would be ideal.

i was gettin scrubbing issues with 235s on 8inch rim on the front at full lock. Just hittin the inner guard i think.. But thats easy to solve. Take the black plastic guards out lol..

Hmm i think tempe tyres does it as well lol..

no idea how gd of a job they do, but heard from few ppl on these forums that they got theres done there.

But try fitting your rims first then see whats needed.

[rb25_r32]

hmmm... does ne 1 here hav 9.5" on the front??? i jst wanna hear there opinion as well.... i'll do wot ever it takes to get these wheels on... lol

[andylaurel]

9.5's will fit fine...

just use a 225 tyre stretched over.

dont use a 255 or whatever ^^^ he said.

do u hav 225 on the front andy? if so how low is ur car?? and does it rub?

[n15m0]

you won't be doing urself any favours by having 9.5 all round on a GTST....ur steering will be a lot heavier not to mention more stress on suspension components, possible guard rolling etc...you're mainly concerned bout looks and not handling?

On a GTR yes.

[rb25_r32]

hmmm... i think i might change the fronts to 8.5" thanks for that advice n15mo... but does anyone know a professional guard roller that comes out to you?

[Nozila]

i thought that 9.5" wouldnt clear the front due to caliper clearance. from memory, my 8.5" just clear the front calipers. oh, have fun with handling as well.

My r32 gtst has 8 inch wide fronts and 9 inch wide rears, with 225 and 235/17 tyres respectively. In my case, there is no way any wider wheels will fit with stock guards/no rolling etc.

Brake caliper clearance is another thing altogether, its not s omuch about the width of the wheel, but more the design of the spokes and the offset etc.

[siddr20]

8 inch front, 9inch rear is perfect i reckon!!

See if you can swap it, if you bought it brand new from the shop and you havnt used it yet.

[rb25_r32]

i see in the tyre thread that 604cerfiro fitted 17" and 10" wide front and 18' 10.5" rear. check out his pics is it possible???

10 inch rims on an R32?? Easy bro... just check out mine . And even better, it's on a GTS-T R32 not an R lol

Skyline model = 1989 R32 GTS-T

Wheel diameter = 17 inch Front / 18 inch Rear

Wheel width = 10 inch wide Front / 10.5 inch wide Rear

Wheel offset = hehehe

Tyre size = 225/45/17 , 235/40/18

Modifications to fit = Rolled / pulled the living hell outta the front & back.

I can bet you a million bucks that 215's can fit on 10 inch wide rims, u just gotta know how to get em on.
