Gtr32 - 15" Drag Rims And Slicks?

[exXU1]

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAn any one help me out here?

Who know what 15" rims, wantanbe's or after market will fit the GTR32 and what slicks also fit. trying hard to find info with limited results/

Nothing i have found clears the calipers - even if i have to use spacer plate i still don't know what will fit - must be some one who knows ?

thanks

i have already got the above on , but will need to go full slick eventually. All slicks seem to suit 15"rims , if there was a 16" i would have a look at it.

i have just been informed that a Yokahama Advan 15' rim should fit where the damn ya get those

Offensive just mentoined using a smaller caliper? I still wonder what rim people have used even doing that?

Have been searching - not comming up with much

Theo Woolet's [ON EDGE] Drag 32 GTR runs stock rims with slicks, if you can find out what hes running....

and even if he's only running semi slicks, hes doing 8 second passes in them.

Got a feeling your right, doubt though whether he is using the MT ET's now?

Interesting if he is but i don't think so- wonder what slickes - if he is , using because i cant seem to find any true slicks in a 16, wonder how is going for wall height and associate well clearance ?

There are definitely 16" slicks available. I agree...run the drag radials first and then switch to full slicks.

Youve got it, just finding 16" slicks with correct profiles hard to find.If people are running 8 on radials imagine what they could do with having better traction? still like to know what Theo's using - opened his web site in attempt to contact him but site seems to have afew glitches,i'll try agin later - any linlks to 16' slicks any one ?

Have a look at the link. That uses 15" advan rims. http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/e230_drag.html

he was running in the street tyre class last season which means no slicks. i have had 15' rims on the rear of my gtst and a front runner with big offset on the front, otherise the single pot calliper will give you more clearance. dont need big brakes for drag racing, and if your planning on going fast enough to run slicks you will have a chute anyway.

bogart racing wheels from the states can be made to suit r32gtr with oem brakes will make to order so you can run 26x10x15 slicks without any modifications. squaring of the inner guards will allow you to fit 28x10x15/16

both heattreatments & hks skyline use bogart rims

All done boys - managed to obtain the Tomei drag car wheels ( one that was stolen and dismantled) - nice and light - bolt straight on - Adavans. Have slicks on, no good for use but good for fit up . Thanks to Mark from Godzilla Racing and the lads at Hi Octane . Arrive mid next week.

Cheers ya all.
