Rims To Fit R32 Gtr?

[dougs]

hey guys, i just bought a repairable writeoff r32 gtr which is nearly ready to be registered and i need to find some rims but i've been told that there aren't many rims around that will clear the brakes on the front?? anyone know what i must specify to a tyre shop so they can find me some rims that will? btw i'm not willing to shave the caliper either. Any help would be much appreciated

[sh@un]

you can pretty much use any rims you want in the correct size and PCD if you use adaptor (spacer) plates

[dougs]

yes but unfortunately hub spacers are illegal so that option isn't really an option.

We have some bronze work XD9 in stock "18x10 +18" $2250. Verry nice looking wheel and you would have no issues with caliper clearance.

If you go for the more common Japanese brand named wheels, you shouldn't have any clearance problems.

If you dont care about looks or grip a set of r33 gtst stockies will clear the brakes (if you need it to pass rego). Proof? Ive had a set on my gtr, looked shit and didnt get much traction in rwd but yeah

Or R32 GTR stockies? or even R33 GTR stockies? (if you're doing it on the cheap ring up powerplay in sydney they do copies)

There's so many rims that will fit nicely though its hard to tell what style you like, in addition to the offer posted by Ryan;

Get some stock R32 Gt-R rims. They are cheap, plentiful & the tyres to go with them will also be cheap.

Far, far better than any imported Chinese chromie shit you may find in most tyre shops.

Failing that a good second hand Japanese rim in 17". 17*9+22 is the best size for a 32. 18's are ok too.

[dougs]

what about a set of Koya Strykers? Anyone know if they'll clear without spacers?

cheap wheels make your car look cheap

I'l probley be posting these rims on here quite I lot cuz I love'em!

Thats a sick looking Phat Ass kit you got on ya GTR any pics / mods?

[dougs]

i thought those koya's looked alright. but i also don't have a pocket as deep as you obviously. still lookin though.

[ali-turko]

im not saying get deep dish like mine, mine are only that big to fill the guards, just get nice quailty wheels, like those te37 wheels are nice

[dougs]

yeah if i had the money i would. i can get a set of impul 18x8's brand new for $1800 but i don't wanna splash out on wheels cause i might need the money i've got saved for other things. what about a set of ba falcon rims off a fpv? they come with brembo's so they'd have no trouble fitting over the gtr's brakes right?

[ali-turko]

bigg no no ford wheels on a gtr

some of these wheels are nice if your on a budget

[dougs]

besides the fact that they're ford wheels, why not? they may not have a dish but some of the fpv wheels look ok?

[ali-turko]

look its your car and if you wanna go ford wheels then do it

[dougs]

btw thanks for the link, some of those don't look too bad.

[dougs]

no, i just mean is there a logical reason such as clearance etc?

Since its a jap car stick with jap wheels looks better holds the value better.

17" wheel will fit over std brakes and best performance and general driving wheel.

18" x 10.5 with anything from +15 to +22 offset will fit 32GTR. This is my fav choice as you can now upgrade the brakes to sometihng bigger such as brembo f150 and they look dam sexy :-)

19" only if you can afford it, and you want the bling factor, oh and if you are able to fit them and no performance or driving value.
