Go the +20 all round.

9.5s are not too wide for the car.

What size tyres are you looking to run on it?

Sorry, if its a GTSt with std guards, even if the insides are rolled then its my experience that sized rim will not have a hope in hell of fitting on an R32 GTSt

At best you will get a 9" +28 or so on the front and a 9.5" + 36 or so on the rear. Even that will fill out the guiards and probably rub depending on ride height and tyres used.

A far better bet for a decent stance is 8.5" +30 fronts and 9" +30 rear. For the size tyre you want to run then they will fit that sized rubber better too.

I have very heavily pumped guards on my car and here is a pic of it with 350/340mm ride height and R34 GTR rims which a 9" + 30 all round They clear nicely with no rubbing. But you are talkign rims that are about 12mm wider and with a further 10mm offset. No way i can see them fitting with std guards!

One of my mates got a 32 gtst aswell hes got 17x9+17 all round with in gaurds taken out and gaurds rolled! So im thinking more along the lines of 18x8.5+17 on the front! And 18x9.5+20 on the rear! Would that work! With 225/40's on the front and 235/40's on the rear!

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
