A Good Offset To Fit 32 Gtst?

[cake69]

hey guys

im in the market to get new wheels

currently using stock ones and massive gaps from the wheel to the guard

ive seem some of the jdm pics and i really like those aggressive lookin wheels

prob looking at te37 replicas

but the offset thing is a lil confusing to me, what would make it look phat and stick out of the guard a lil bit

without being too obviously illegal and get defected.

also are the offsets different for different wheels??

im after sizes like this

[SoFly]

te37 replicas would not come with any sizes/offsets to give you the look you are after.

are you plannin on working on your guards? eg. pump/flare? or just a roll with the guards.

what size are you after? 17s?18s? also widths?

[subie]

Hi mate,,

check for sale section,, i have the wheels that u wanted for sale.. almost the same size and offset with those R32

cheers

[cake69]

im after 17'' matte / black rims

um theres these te37 replicas for lik $800

apparently their offsets are +35 - 40

so thats small?? caz im not really sure with the whole offsets thing.

5x114.3 ? was thinkin of running em with spacers or something?

width im not sure. thats y i had to ask

wat usually gives the best look? size and width wise?

im not really the smartest guy wen it comes to wheel measurements.

and guards ill prob leave for now. lol

hey subie nice rims mate

but sry not the style im looking for tho

9inch +30 offset will fill out the guards.

Might cause some scrubbing on the fronts, so you'll need to remove guard liners etc.

Look for some pictures of r32 with r33 GTR rims for the +30 9inch look.

First picture of the R32 is my old car, those rims have huge offset and are a tight fit for standard R32 guards

Fronts are 17 x 9.5 + 17

Rears are 18 x 10 + 18

Stretched tyres to make them tuck under the guards

Fronts are 215/40/R17

Rears are 235/40/R18

You still need to roll and slightly 'pump' the guards to get them to tuck under, the way it sits though, in Victoria you would get raped as they are protruding out of the guards

+30?

lol yeah, take a look at my sig, those are 9inch +30 on the rear. They slightly stick out but fill the guards.

wow u had a very nice 32 with massive dish wheels

i love em

and thx rekin for the advice.

so i should be looking at 17x9 with about +30 offset not looking at any major work on the guards to fill em out?

btw do u no if driftek's have the sizes that i want?

edit: also do i want the front and rear tyres to be same size? width and size wise??

im learning so much lol thx fellas

take a look under your rear guards on your car.

There will be a thin peice of metal.

Rolling involves flattening that peice of metal to provide more clearance for your rims.

Guard liners are the plastic liners found in your front guards.

[SoFly]

set of 17 x 9 with gtr offsets ( +18 to +22 ) should be fine with 215/45/17 and 225/45/17 tyres.

depending on how low you want your car also.

[RBLUV]

you mean like this?

[adam-__-]

you mean like this?

Nah, you don't want something like that. That's Mexican spec. hahaha Maybe a little camber and it'll look better.

Look under your guards, if it's standard, it'll look something like this,

Those guards 'rolled' will look like this,

Anything really 'tough' looking is illegal these days. My rear wheels slightly stick out of the guards, not even that tough and they still got me pulled up. This is in a shit bomb of a car too. Just don't let the police see your car from behind and it should be okay...

doesnt take much to roll your gaurds, panel beater, wheel shop. good luck on your choice, driftek should come with the right sizes aswell.

a quick question, not trying to hi-jack just noticed somthing, if you flare your gaurds so as the rim doesnt actually sit out of them is it still illegal due to it being wider than standard?

Yeah, most likely will still be illegal. In Victoria, you can only increase your track by ~26mm. For the wheels to come out of the guards in the first place, they would have to exceed that limit. Most cops won't know that anyway.

my 33 has 18x9.5 + 30 and they stick out by 10mm or so but have 245's squeezin them in...

its enough to not get hastled but still look tough
