18x10 Rays Gt-c On R32 Gtr

[phat25t]

Hey guys

About to put a deposit down to get some 18x10 rays gtc's but wondering what offset I should go for, for my gtr32. I was told that the standard offset looks pretty tame when put on the car, but I want the tyres sitting flush under the guards! Planning on going 265/35 all round. Any help would be great! And pics of cars wit the same width rims and tyres would be sweet cheers!

i always thought 10s would be a bit wide to get under a 32GTR...

Hye guys, bit off topic but rather then starting a new topic...

Will 255/45/17 fit under a GTR?

with the right offset they are fine width wise

Nah I know of a few r32 gtrs with 18x10s all round. They definitely fit, depending on offset may have to roll the guards.

I've got 255/40*17 on 9.5" wheels with no scrubbing.

45s will be a bit on the tall side...

sorry to keep hijacking your thread phat25t...

The dude down at bob janes seems to think they wont fit. Im not sure what offset would be required? Im also not entierly sure what offset is... I understand 255 is width, 45 is profile and 17 is rim size.

is offset distance from the center of the tyre from the center of the hub?

The guy at bob jane didnt seem to think the problem would be with the width but with the height...

[hrd-hr30]

he's probably right. a 255/45*17 will be about an inch larger in diametre than a 255/40*17. The 255/40 is about the right diametre for an R32 GTR.

yes, offset of the wheel is the distance from the centre of the wheel to the mounting face at the hub. bit of a recent discussion about offsets on R32 GTR here

Hey guys, sorry to hijack, but my work meister s1s are 18x9.5, offset should be ard +20, basically i had 265/35/18 on them and they sat flush with the guards, no problems wotsoever. i'm wondering if 275/35/18 will clear the front n rear guards? Please advise.
