Measurements/offset R32

[MADGT4]

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

depends what look you want e.g rim sitting flush to the guards or sticking out abit with abit of stretch on the tyres.

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

If your heading towards 9.5 +22 all round, it should be all good if you get gtr front guards and flare the rears.

ive got 17x9 +17 on my gtst with 20mm fronts and theres still a fair bit of space left.

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