Hey guys

I've got an r32 gts-t and I've got some 18x11.5" +26 work vs-xx wheels coming, and I need rear wide fenders to fit them.(preferably +50mm)

I've rang savanna motorsports the Origin dealer for aus, and they informed me that Origin do not make wide rear over fenders for the r32.

So I'm begging you guys to lead me in the right direction for some GOOD quality rear fenders. I want them to fit straight up, I don't want to have to stuff around with fuel filler in particular. Please, do you know any good brands?

*sigh* you saw a set of wheels on YAJ and went "OMG fullysick dishhh uleh I must have it!" didn't you?

What you probably didn't account for is that 11.5 +26 makes your wheels sit around 2 inches too far inside so it will hit your shocks unless you run some chronic spacers. This is in addition to sticking out of your guards by about 30mm, so lets say you space out the wheel by about 30mm to clear the shocks, you'll then need a 60mm overfender to clear the rim (run stretched tyres and you should be able to sit it at a decent height and not collect the fibreglass fender with your tyre and send it all to hell... or look like poser and run it at 4WD height).

rear fenders NEVER fit straight up. not even japanese ones. I imported a set of D-Max ones straight out of japan and even then we had to trim the fibreglass and sand out the imperfections etc.

Nice buy from Import Monster though, and 155,000Y isn't actually that bad a price for em. But I wouldn't wanna be the guy trying to shoehorn them under an R32 GTSt, especially the 10.5 +26 in the front, without resorting to something like a BN widebody kit.

How the hell did u find the auction I got my wheels from haha. Yes a very good buy, and I've seen same wheels on gtr32 but 10.5 front n rear, and I wanted rears to be slightly wider I was actually waiting for the wheels for a while. I've got gtr front end already just need rears. A mate has some viva garage ones and I held them up and they needs about an inch cut out front and rear of wheel arch, they are the complete wrong size

lol do a search for "VIVA garage fenders" in this section, and you'll find pics that I took of a set that were delivered to me.

11.5 +26 wow, ive got not even 1 cm clearance on my coilovers with 10.5 +/- 0, your guna one BIG spacer my friend

thats no spacers, bolted straight onto the hub :/ i bein offered 5g for these wheels i said noooo f*kin way hahaha they are huge, them rubbers are 295 streched on, cant beat that

yea definately would hav taken the cash and ran. IMO all the aftermarket fenders out there ruin the clean lines of the r32, they just make the car look silly even when done to a high standard. get some rims that actually fit and dont make it look like a clown car.

GTR oem guards FTW

Sorry to dig up this thread.. Didn't want to make a new one.. Did a search and found some useful info.

But, not exactly what I'm after.

I may of answered my own question.. With the stock 32 gtst wheel (16x6.5 unsure of offset)

I will have to widen/role my guards for a set of 32 GTR wheels? (16x8 +30)

Thanks guys.

Couple hundred too much IMO. But it depends on how much they are worth to you. I sold my Volk SF Challenge set (17x9+22) for less with near-new tyres!

Well I would live some rays te37s but waaay out of my price range haha..

Maybe one day.

Rough price on 32 GTR wheels with or without tyres? In your opinion :)

    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
