Anyone With 18s +35 On An R32 Gtst?

[HuH]

Hi Guys,

Really need some pictures of anyone who's got 18" wheels on an R32 GTSt with +35 offset. Actually, anyone who has 18s on an R32 GTSt at all, please post a photo or two stating what the offset is, and what the wheel width is. I'd also really like to know what size tyres are on the wheels as well.

Thanks.

I have 18's on my 32 gtst

35 offset with 265 40's on the rear and 235 35's on the front don't have a pic sorry.

Yea rears scrub even with the guards rolled wouldnt recommend more than 255's

[HuH]

What width wheels are you running? 8.5's front and 9.5's rear or something?

An offset number without a wheel width is useless. Having +35mm offsets on a 8" wide wheel is 32mm closer (or further away if wheels are already past guard) to a guard than a +35 on a 10.5" wheel.

If you're looking for people with +35mm offset just to see if that offset clears calipers, then that's not a good idea either. Caliper clearance depends on the style and face of the wheel.

Just felt I should put that information out there.

Yes I'm well aware of that, which is why in the original post I did specify that I need to know what the width is as well. It's even in bold. Thanks for your concern.

yeah but what adam means is that a 18 x 9 +35 wheel will still have differing caliper clearance between different makes / models even if they are all the same size and offset

[HuH]

Yeah I get that, but what I'm aiming to see is which width and offset is the best fit in 18" purely in terms of sitting in the guards.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

do you want it inside a bit, outside a bit or flush?

[Psymon]

These are +35 offset on mine. 8 inch wide (235 tyres)

Ignore the gay bonnet photshop... iwas bored

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

OMG! der iz engines in ur bonnetz!

I still don't understand why you posted up wanting to see other peoples wheels which have a +35 offset. Fair enough those who post tell you their widths, but how do we know you want a 8.5" (or there abouts) wide wheel with the +35 offset to see how it sits, or a 11.5" wide with the +35? Not trying to start shit by the way, just saying...

Anyway, if this helps, here's 'ford' car. He's running 17x9 +30 all round with 235/45 tyre on the fronts and 255/40 rears. Standard guards all round apparently.

And here's abu's car. He's running 18 x 8.5 + 28 up front and 18 x 9.5 + 30 out back. Rolled rear guards only. Not too sure on sizes of his tyres. I'm sure he'll see this thread and add it if needed.

damn meisters look hot!

was such a hard choice between them & professors!

Ah don't stress. Not much of a difference between them anyway and your wheels fit good!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i know... but meisters still look HOT!

it's only a matter of time before i decide that i need to flare the guards and will need new rims anyway

DAMN YOU COSMETIC AND STYLING MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!ONE!!!

Adam, the WORK S1 wheels are 18x8.5 +28 fronts and 18x9.5 +33 rears... and i think u mean these 33GTR wheels(17x9 +30 all round)

Thanks for the replies. You're right about the wording of the first post, it doesn't make a lot of sense to just ask about the offset - but you've figured it out anyway.

My new wheels arrive today and I need to go get tyres. I'm getting 9.5" +35s on the rear and I'm worried that 255s will scrubs badly. The ride height is only a touch lower than standard. Am I going to get rubbing from 255s with that size/offset?

Ah I must've read one of your other posts wrong. I can't edit previous post.

Hrmm maybe you need to get subie's current wheel's tyre sizes. The wheels you've both got are roughly the same fitment and with subie's current tyres, there's room for a larger tyre underneath with a guard roll.

What are your tyre sizes subie? The ones on the S1's.

u would be ok on 255 tyres if it only a touch lower than standard, i used to have 255 on my rear wheels which 18x9.5 +35 offset... see pic below (but i had my rear guards rolled)

Fitted them tonight and no dice, I'm afraid. Got them on no worries, but they're scrubbing at the back. No big deal, I'll get the guards rolled tomorrow and she'll be apples. Looks pretty damn good, I reckon. Although could do with a slight slight drop (10mm more maybe?). Not sure yet. Pics up soon.
