Will These Mags Fit My R32 Gtst?

[Flux_nz]

Was looking at these mags:

But they only come in 9inch wide - is that too wide for my r32 GTST at the front? - i dont want guard rub

And would i be able to stretch 215/40/17's on them too?

And lastly, my cars not low at all - so would that aid in being able to fit them?

They are 17x9 - 30 offset

Im not clewed up on mags, so it really is a guessing game for me...

are you sure it's -30 and not +30?

there is no chance -30 will look anything short of ridiculous, but +30 is achievable.

i wouldn't personally put 215s on there but if you were so inclined you could

+1

what sort of wheels are they and were can u get them from?

[Lil_Lucky]

if +30 they will fit up front no worries. rear may need roll (inner lip) depending on how low ur car is.

9inch +30 with scrub on the rear (if lowered). Will need to roll the guards or have some negative camber.

They will also scrub on the front depending on height.

I had +30 8inch on the front with 235/45 tyres and it would scrub. Dropped to 225 and scrubbing went away. Yours are 1inch wider so would scrub much easier in my opinion.

9inch +30 is the same design as R33 GTR rims. So best to ask any r32 gtst owner with r33 gtr rims and they will tell you a deffinite answer on fitting.

just out of curiousity,

how do you reckon a 17 x 9 +35 rim with a 215/45/17 would go on a r32 gts-t ?

I have R33 GTR wheels on an R32 gtst with 245/45 rubber, standard-ish ride height with stiffer shocks & springs, i had to get rears rolled (not lipped) and have had no scrubbing what so ever.

Front is a different story..... 245's on the front, standard guards untouched, only when i hit a big dip or bump does it slightly scuff something on the tyre, it hasn't chopped sidewalls (I cannot see any damage what so ever to the tyre's), i use to have a pair of tyre's on the front with worn shoulders and it never scrubbed once over anything.

Tyre's rubbing shouldn't be your main concern, just slap 235's maximum on them and you should be fine with standard-ish ride height. (My 245's stick out front the guards at the front and would probably be deemed unroadworthy, next set of tyres are going to be 235's)

I would worry about the +30 offset rims effecting your roll centre and what it does to your steering & suspension.

+30 changes your roll centre and steering becomes more 'darty' over ruts and divets on the road. (each front wheel wants to roll around bumps instead of travelling up and down over them). This means constant corrections have to be made to keep it going straight. 12 months have past with the wheels on and i have had to replace steering rack bushes from all the extra movement in the rack.

Other bushes at the front have probably been prematurely worn because of the wheels.

They look fat and grip great on the twisties and track but are very compromised on the road.

More solid steering rack bushes at the front have helped quite a bit but I wouldn't recommend +30 offset on a car that has to be driven daily in the city unless you like the steering wheel jumping out of your hands.

Just my 2 cents

i had the tramlining issue with 235/45's on my +30 rims. Steering wheel would pull into any ruts in the road etc, was annoying to drive with.

However after dropping to 225/45, adjustable camber bushes,adjustable castor bushes and a proper alignment, the tram lining disappeared and have no issues.
