Back, yes. My old rims were 18x9 +45 on the back, still heaps of clearance

Front, no, will hit the upright. I had a few mm clearance with 18x8 +38 with 235/40R18s. Your rim will sit in another 8mm and the tyre will more than likely rub on the upright.

GTR offset rims usually hit the guard...

Had some 17x9 +20 on the front and they only just tucked into my flared guards (flared 15-20mm) and was running 3deg camber.

So yeah, you'd have to be lucky to make em fit...

You'd probly need to find 8.5 +32. That should fit into the stock guards, maybe need to lip them

Im not so worried about the wheel hitting the guards, i can have them modifed and or fit gtr front guards.

Im more worred about fitting a wheel with the wrong offset stuffing up the handling of the car, ie if u take where the center of the wheel is stock u want to increase it the same amount each side of this line.

eg no good having a wheel that goes out a few inches but only goes in 1 inch if u get me.

Offset is such a stupid measurement imo

cheers fellas

This means you want the same offset as stock. i.e. +40

Offset is measured from where the wheel mounts to the hub to the centre of the rim.

The fact is, you can't have a +40 rim with a decent width. There is nothing wrong with having a rim of different offset, increases track and you can fit wider rims on.

I'm not sure why you'd want to keep the offset the same.

I think that's what you're getting at, correct me if I'm wrong

I get more confused by the second.

I have heard etc, that if u put a wider wheel on and it goes futher out than it does in, compared to the stock wheel (if that makes sense) u will have problems with bump steer and stuff.

I want to run 8.5s or 9s if i have to go gtr offset in the future. If i can do this and have the car handle the way it should i have no problem modifying the guards to get them fitting.

its just when ur buying nismo's u dont wanna funk up :P

Nah, bumpsteer is caused by suspension geometry issues, usually caused by excessive lowering. You'll be fine, get the right offset, probly around +30 and you'll be fine to run that size. Remember, the smaller the number, the further it sticks out of the guard.

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
