R32 Gtr- Wheel Fitment Question

[driftrx]

heya all.

currently in the process of buying a 32 GTR, and pretty much have one (fingers crossed and knock on wood) sorted...

however one off my mates, is selling up some goodies to purchase a stagea, and has these VSKFs for sale..

black with polished lip

18x10+9 r disk 18x10.5-23 r disk

now i dont wanna go buy fibreglass guards n shit... im just wondering if anyone out there has anything remotley similar, and what work would need to be done to make them fit. (ie roll, light pull of guards etc (i wish)

quite basicly they would look fat on it....

cheers in advance

There's a post made by someone with 18x10 +10 all round. I don't think the 18x10.5 -23 will fit without some major work done.

Fronts will with a bit of work.

Rears wont. Unless you like destroying GTR guards.

Thats a cut and weld job unfortunatley

[driftrx]

yeah didnt think the rears would have a hope in hell :S

i think me and the mate selling them figured the fronts would sit 15mm out on 0degree camber....

the rears would have been sitting 45mm out... on 0degrees....

might have been a bit off tho lol.

and yeah im nbot to keen on destroying a set of guards...

if only same offsets front and rear hahaha

heres a pic of them on a s13... without the 50mm ocver fenders fitted...

they woulda looked so good to.. black on black...

still could test fit them however....

i wouldnt even bother testing them the rears would almost a equivalent to a 12" wheel

[ferni]

Check with an offset calculator (google)...

Besides that, you want to run the same size tyre (so same size rim as well) on all 4 wheels on a GTR...

[driftrx]

i dint think that an extra .5" would play to much havoc on the attesa stuff anyways?

and the offset calculator i tryed, i couldnt figure out....

and dont worry i want serious about test fitting them, would have only been for shits and giggles....

maybea good excuse for overfenders on my 33? haha

cheers anyways.. just have to find something a lil tamer

20 pound hammer fixes all

(Except on a GTR.)

i was under the impression you couldnt stagger rim sizes on a GTR any way???

[adam-__-]

You could, but shouldn't.

You can but Mr. Altessa doesn't appreciate it

[Adz2332]

lol yer thats what i thought! so why would someone waste there time staggering??? crazy

[driftrx]

funnily enough the rims came off a 32 GTR over in japan.

i knew people RARELY staggered them on a GTR, but as i said above, didnt think an extra half inch would make that bigger difference.. im assuming its the -offset compared to the front that would fark with it the most....

ahh wells, thinking a set of TEs, or Works.... regradless black on black with polished lip lol

[Gregors]

It's not the offset that f*cks with the ATTESA Dan, it's the rolling diameter of the rim, ie: wider tire + same profile as front = bigger rolling diameter.

[NoFX_Hardcore]

Sorry to hijack thread, but what size tyres would be the biggest to fit on front of a 32 gtr so it doesnt hit when turning? 255?

[ali-turko]

10"+18 max without applying any camber

[dori34]

ive got 17x8 -2 and it hits my front bar so far on full lock, any way i can resolve this??

its got a 20mm spacer (originaly +18) in place coz its needed to clear the brakes..
