Hi, I want to get 19"*8.5 +20mm offset with 235/35 tyres front and 19"*9.5 +25mm offset with 265/30 tyres rear for my R32 GTST, my guards are already rolled and i have Cusco adjustable coilovers. Does anyone know if they will fit ? :happy:

No chance.

Your fronts would need to be widened a touch unless you want to run silly camber and rear guards would need to be pumped a good 20mm each side (educated guess) depending on the height of the car

It'd go close.

With a +40 on the front you may run into issues with the inside edge scrubbing on the inner guard or possibly the upright. +30 with 17*8.5 works well on the front of mine. The rear would probably fit, but i just can't see those tyres fitting under the stock guard. +40 will put the inside edge of the rear rim pretty close to the the hicas balljoint and the front of the lower control arm. Depending on the camber it will also be very close to the struts/coils of your coil overs.

Probably not as the wheel itself is so big.

You can get away with it on 17's, maybe 18's, dunno about 19's, it would depend how low your car is i suppose.

You can always try some wheels out to get a better idea.

I just found out that the wheel offsets are +38 front and + 40 rear. Any better or is the rear still going to be a hassle ? Thanks for your helping me out with this too guys, offsets confuse the hell out of me...... :)

man it is fine!!!

I have 19's (8.5 @ front, 9.5 @ back) looks SOOO hot, (but im bias..its mine)

U need some really stiff sus, (which i presume ur coilovers are) I have D2 drift spec, adjusted to the stiffest degree. This ensures you can drop it as low as you can!!! :wub:

I think my offsets are the as urs too.

my fronts needed 225s as the tyres were scrubing against teh strut (i was originally trying 245s with no luck). At the rear i am running 275s look hot as when viewing hte car from the back, and likewise my guards are rolled too.

Good Luck,

Peter :iluvff:

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
