As the title states, have found a set of wheels that i like. However i think these are slightly too wide for the gtr? Also i have scoured the internet, and cant find any 32gtr's running this width / offset.

Will it fit? Or am i dreaming?

I don't want to run alot of camber or anything like that, and im not too keen on the idea of getting the gaurds modified.. it's an option but i've heard horror stories.

Any advice / info / pics would be epic!

Cheers.

Like i said i have already searched for this, pleanty of info on the smaller width's..

Mm - these are 18X10 + 20 with 275s all round.

Stock guards and lowered with coiles. Were ok to drive on but any sort of bump = scrape - probably more to do with inner guard liners though.

No, I just stole my mates wheels for the day when he looked the other way. (Then proceeded to put my pink wheels on his GTR, lol)

They are too wide and the offset is wrong for the car. Just get something that fits and avoid all the pain.

Actually they fit perfectly by running a little camber and quality 265/35R18s.

He'll need to roll the guards perfectly flat to fit them as well.

No wonder there are so many weak looking GT-Rs around with everyone scared to actually put an aggressive size on them.

Good answer.

lol personally i know a lot of people that dont care about fitment in there GTRs because they just want to go fast and not care about looks / flushness they just want to hammer around the track without scraping the shit out of everything and needing massive suspension / guard modification

But surely that is the point about owning a GTR - that they actually have a suspension system with the potential to allow them to go hard. Not some flush fitting nightmare that needs guard mods, wrong camber angles & undersized tyres to make it even half way fit. Why wreck what remains of the cars handling for some wannabe sexspec fashion. :thumbsup:

Exactly what I mean mate! you can still make a GTR look good without having it scrape the shit out of guards!

i believe that wheel fitment is mandatory on a gtr (any skyline really) and that u should definately go out there get some quality rubber fitted to them rims, roll those guards and get some nice coilovers to get the stance correct.

i dont get how so many ppl say i dont wanna touch the guards but i wanna run these fat rims.....

Rolled guards is hardly modified. Flaring is how I would interpret his statement.

And running 255/35R18s would be an even easier way of fitting them. Camber would not need to be stupid at all.

LOL sounds like an excuse to me. Funny that some of the fastest circuit spec 32 GT-Rs in Japan run this size on them without massively modified guards. But what would they know? They aren't people blinded by the idea that fitment sacrifices your ability to thrash :huh:

Don't put fitment and sex spec together. They aren't anything alike. If you're having a nightmare with fitment, you're doing it wrong. Plain and simple. That's what happens when amateurs set up cars :P

It's because they're all doing it wrong. They see this idiots with terrible mexican fitment rubbing and scraping and think that's what it's about.

Then they buy sh*tty offset wheels and say what was quoted above to justify it.

PERFECT fitment is sitting flush and having no rubbing, no need for super narrow rubber, or anything outside the alignment you want.

Cheers for the response's guys, i have decided to let these wheels slide as they arnt the right offset as you all have said!

I want to keep the handeling aspets of my car, i love doing mountain runs / hillclimb / downhill runs etc .. it's why i bought the car actually.

I'm now thinking something more along the lines of 17x10 +18 so i can run a larger profile and hopefully fit a decent amount of tyre under there..

How does this sound? I've seen lots of pics of the 18x10+18 and it does sit flush, not sure how it will go with a decent tyre width under there though? Anyone had any experience, will gaurd work still be required for this size?

I'm thinking of getting some enkei pf01's or something like that, my mate suggested 17" but still 10" wide so you can fit more tyre on the rim. He suggests running like 265/275 ?

I'm running 18x10 +15 on my GTR, imo sits nice and flush also using 265s on all 4 with no issues, the car just needs to be lowered a teeny bit more which I'm working on just been lazy. Maybe have a word with Aaron @ importmonster he can keep a eye out for some rims (he has a 32 GTR as well) and knows his shit!

    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
    • Hence why I said earlier that I don't think the turbo Neos ever would have actually qualified as an LEV. I suspect the only actual LEVs that came out of Nissan were the NA Neos. Still call them all Neos. They all stil have the Neo-ness. Just that they don't all qualify as as LEVs.
    • It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car
