Hey guys,

Was thinking of purchasing some new rims for the car and like the Gramlights.

Does anyone have any idea on the offsets i should be looking at..........17x9 either a +12 or +22 offset is available. From what i have read its my understanding that a +12 offset would give a larger dish than a +22. Or have i got my thinking all wrong????

Would like a little bit more dish effect at the rears.

Car sits a little lower, perhaps 15mm but that would be it. I have the crappy g4 adjustables also.

Basically I dont want the tyres or rims to be hanging out the guards as seen in the black 32gtst photo below.

I would prefer it to look the way my car is now........see below

Well to get nice fitment on a 32gtr you would usually get +22 which and a gtr has bigger guards than a gtst. So if you were to get +12 then I'd say on a gtst you would require some guard work to get them not to scrub at a minimum they would probably poke. anyway go here

www.rimtuck.com - and search for your car and you can see photos of skylines with 17x9 and different offsets to get an idea of how they might fit.

hope that helps

old thread, but how did you go? i think if you want your new wheels to fit like ones in the second photo u will need an even higher offset than +22.

hey mate yeah just got the money sorted so ill be buying them really soon. pity though cos i was after more feedback here, plenty of people have a lot to say bout random stuff but when asked something a little more technical it seems no one wants to answer.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
