R32 Gtr Wheel Fittment

[johnbarry88]

hey guys can you run 2 different rim sizes on an r32 gtr for eg.

18x9.5 +28 fronts with 235/40/18

18x10.5 -9 rears with same size tyres

will this in anyway effect the diffs in the car?

You've been a member here for 5 years. In that time, you must have seen at least a couple of threads dealing with running different sized rims on Nissan AWD vehicles.

honestly I havent really come accross anything (probably cuz i wasnt interested or looking for the answer at the time) just want to make sure I dont creat a problem with buying a set of wheels

its not a good idea too,

the tyres wont be exaclty the same size even if they are the same profile

with mucking round trying to find tyres that are the right diameter front and rear it will work

10.5 -9 will be sticking outside the guard about 25mm

with the same sized tyre all round it shouldn't really cause any problems. they rears will probably have a slightly smaller diameter as the sidewall will be quite heavily stretched loosing a fair bit of it's height. this may be a problem, or may not. 235 wide tyres are really way too small for 10.5 inch rim. and on a 32 a 10.5 inch rim with a -9 offset is going to stick well outside the guards. my 18X10s with +18 sit just slightly outside but still clear ok on bump etc running 265/35 street tyres all round.

my advice. don't do it. just run the same size wheels and tyres all round. it's the one way to ensure no problems with your GTRs AWD system and if gives you the benefit of being able to rotate rims/tyres from front to back easily to give them a longer life span.
