I have searched the forums and can't find the answer I am looking for. Skylines were never sold in my country so mine was specially imported. As such, it is very hard to find imformation on the cars. I am sure it's been covered here (maybe several times), but I am having a very hard time finding wheel fitments for my R32 GTR. The rear fenders have been rolled, so that should help. I am thinking of putting a set of 18 inch Enkei RPF1's on it. I want to go as wide and aggressive looking as possible on an r32. Help please?

Look how far in the current 17 inch wheels are. Not awesome.

This is my car with 18x9.5 +12 if that helps.

That does help some, thank you. Is 9.5" the widest one wants to go on a R32 GTR? Do you have any other pictures you have posted I could look at from different angles so I can get an even better Idea?

I had 18 x 10 +12.

Very agressive in the Rota Grid, however id look at Varrstoen wheels next time or some JDM wheels sourced from Japland.

I found they are really shit to drive on with very firm suspension also need to look at other things.

17s in tyres are cheaper and look great on with appropriate ride height width and offset.

I would def look at 17s next time personally, however the 18 x 10 on a gtr looks mint. add in a lil camber to sit more in the guards and it will be dope!!

only issue you might find going wider than a 10 or even with a 10 is rubbing, mine scuffed my inner guards on almost full lock, and gets annoying after awhile in car parks etc.

i just bought some varrstoen 2.2.1 18x10.5 +12 and after seeing this picture im glad i chose those specs looks mint!

Post some pics up in this thread when you've got them on. I was thinking of 18x10.5 +15's but didn't think they'd fit a 32 GT-R so was leaning towards 18x10.5 +22 Varrstoens.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
