Quick Questions About Wheel Fitment To R32 Gtst With 17x9 +22 All Round

[jakez88]

17x9 +22 all round on 235/45R17 for R32 Gtst without any guard modifications.

will it scrape on full lock?

how far will it sit out of stock unmodified guards front and rear?

will i need any modifications on guards for them to fit?

car is mildly lowered so hopefully it won't cause any problems.

any pictures of similar spec wheels on a r32 would be good too.

any help appreciated. thanks!

Hmm i reckon it's gonna be a bit of a stretch to fit them. (no pun intended)

Currently i have 17 x 8 + 15 up front with a 215/45/17 and 17 x 9 + 21 at the rear with a 235/45/17.

With the 17 x 9 + 21 on the front i would have 19mm less inner clearence and it would extend an extra 7mm.

Mine sits pretty nice at the front with -3 camber thanks to the R33 LCA's and theres no scrubbing even with the lock spacers. I reckon with a 7mm slip on spacer the front would sit perfect. So with the 17 x 9 +21 i think it would be a good fit (inner clearence may be a bit of an issue?) but i would think you would have to run a 214/45/17 up front for more clearence. The rears sit pretty nice with -1 degree of camber.

I have moded my guards a little, but that was only to fit the wheels when i first got them as the wheels came with a 50 profile tyre on the 17" rims.

I realise this post is a bit pointless without any pics, so i'll try to get around to taking some and might even put the rears on the front just for fun.

To give you a bit of an idea, compared to stock gts-t wheels, you wil have 14mm less inner clearance and the wheel will extend out an extra 50mm.

I run 17x9+30 all round (R33 GTR rims) 235/45/17 tyers

the front have a 5mm spacer on them and about -2 deg of camber no issues there.

the rears are a diffrent story I have -1deg of camber and had to have the rear gurads sit about 10-15mm above the top of the tire

as on heavy bumps it scrubed (rims sits out about 3mm or so from the gurad). once i rolled the guards i was fine to have the car at any hight.

If you're only running a 235 tyre, why not just get a rim to fit? Stretched tyres arent a great thing anyway..

But to be helpful, you will most likely need to roll/flare the rear guards.. On most r33's, and a friend who had a r32 with 20's (lol.), some guard work was needed. To be fair though, most were only just "legal" in terms of ride height.
