Ok

Im totally aware that there is a guid stickied but im retarded when it comes to understanding offset and all that.

So keeping with my "im gonna get rid of my car" theme ive decided to get some new wheels.

Now i currently own a 93 32 GTS4

Im looking at currently getting some wheels in these possible measurements...

18×9.0J all round

or

18×9.5J all round

These are the two wheels charts of the wheels im looking at... I just need to select which size and offset is the best.

Happy for people to post opinions etc but yeah ultimately looking at a 18x9 or 9.5 all round

Looking to have flush fitment

Ive been told i SHOULD be able to fit 18x9.5 +22 all round(or something similar (with 32 GTR front guards)) with minor lipping/flaring/rolling

I also have 33 GTSt front calipers.

They should fit no problems?

Those widths and offsets should fit pretty nicely on a GTS body with GTR front guards. +12mm will be too much. You'll definitely need a roll maybe even a slight flare with the +22's. I'm not too sure how much wider the front guards are, but I'm pretty sure they won't fit 'properly' under standard guards.

The caliper clearance will depend on the face of the wheel. You can't really depend on the offset to clear it.

^^^ Wrong. 18x9.5 +12 all around will fit fine with rolled and flared guards with stretched tyres.

Do it the Japanese way and buy the wheels and make the car fit them, not buy the wheels to fit the car. Don't be weak...

Will look tough as.

This is what...

18 x 8.5 + 28

18 x 9.5 + 30

... look like on a GTSt.

9.5 +12 all round will be roughly 30mm more aggressive out front and roughly 20mm out the back. It'll fit with some camber and a flare out back. Depends what look you're after.

Then there's this car, 18x10 +18 out back with 225/40/18 Federal's. Roughly the same fitment as 9.5" with +12 offset.

I think abu's car (silver one above) were running 235 tyres.

That give me a much better idea of how things will be.

Hopefully the GTR front Guards will allow me to fit the 9 or 9.5's at the front.

The guards in that picture also look untouched but im still undecided on the 9's or 9.5's

The rears have been rolled and the front are left standard, but the inner guard lining has been taken out.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
