17 X 10 On An R32 Gtst

[Roy]

I know it has been asked a thousand times before. But I cant find a thread that touches on it.

I have an R32 GTSt and looking at a rear pair of wheels that are 17 x 10" +44. Not sure what the offset limits are for clearing the inner suspension? Anyone? I am not concerned about outer guard, just need to know what sized offsets you can run before you have problems with fouling the shock-suspension etc

Hey, I've used this before when working out clearances.

Dial in the stock wheels, then the new wheels and it calculates how much closer to the guards and inner suspension components rims and tyres end up.

Also useful way of calculating overall tire diameter for different profiles/ widths too.

Thanks, but the problem is the std rims are so small and no real help when trying to work out clearances for a 10" rim. Hopefully somebody has fitted some decent sezied rim AND tyre in the bum and can work out if these +44s will fit. I want to run a 265 rear tyre on the 10" rim

i think 10 + 22 is for a flush type fit have you tried offset thread?

theres a few gtrs in there.

Thanks, I understand that if i go GTR style offsets I will clear the suspension. But I want to use all the available space, so a +22 offset will leave a sea on the inside and cause issues for the guard. I am hoping there is a number around +30 to +44 or something that allows for inner guard clearance

just going off 9s 9.5s I'd say for a 10 inch an offset around +30 would be about right mate. think of a stock 33 GTR wheel which is +30 9 inch. now add half an inch to each side of that and bobs your uncle. maybe a +35 would give a little more guard clearance and still clear the suspension but I dunno about a +44.

having said all that some 10mm spacers will quickly turn those +44s to +34s which should be about perfect.

I agree - guy here in Perth tried 17 x 10 +45 and fouled on the inner and think managed to get 10mm spacer hence +35 and sat fine

[Roy]

Ok, so 10mm spacers...hmmm. may be the go

[Beer Baron]

rega masters?

[Roy]

Chromies YO!

[Beer Baron]

word homie. sounds sick. get some 215s on them for the full radness.

[T04GTR]

RAD!

The lmgt4's I sold you where 17x9.5 +38 and they were flush with the guard but can't remember if there was clearance on the inside. So I'd agree with above and say go about the +32mm area. 18x10 with +12 stick about 40mm out with 0 camber and 265's
