Suitable wheel sizes for R32 GTR

Hi All,

I'm interested in purchasing Volk Racing CE28N however not to sure where to buy them from and roughly what they going for, does anyone have an idea? also I want 18 inch but will I have any problems with the guards? or the callipers (standard).

after looking online I was thinking 18x10.5+18 5-114.3 with 265/35 tyres.

does anyone think these will be too big or is it possible? without loosing the handling

No.  No.  It's not as if THE VERY TOP STICKY THREAD in this forum covers any of this subject.

[luis32gtr]

what would you suggest I should include?

[GTSBoy]

I would suggest you read the thread.  Specifically those posts about what size wheels fit R32 GTRs.

Rays list them at 82,000 yen each.

So that plus freight.

Where from? Start with the likes of RHD Japan, Nengun and then move on to Jess Streeter.

You are looking at over $1000 per rim and they wont fit properly.

The problem with the sticky thread is that how ever well meaning it started out it is now inhabited and infected by the hektik fitment types.  In the olden days the universal aftermarket rim size on an R32 GTR was 17x9+22.  Which just about fits but often as not scraped on the rear.  Now it is apparently 20x11.5+0 with 10 dergees camber to make it fit and no way of applying more than 3 degrees lock.  Hektik in other words.

10.5 for 265 is too big. I'm running 18 x 10 +15

[sleeper_gtr]

Ce28n come in 18 10.5 +18 or 18 x 9.5 +15. Only the 18 x 9.5 +15 would for r32gtr without modification.
There are ce28nsl which come in perfect fitment size 18x10 +20. [emoji6]

guard liners out too depending on the tyres unless you dont care about rubbing on full lock

[niZmO_Man]

For a 265 wide tyre, get the 9.5" wide wheel. 10.5 is too wide for the R32.

[luis32gtr]

I got quoted (local supplier) $4000, tyres not included up to 6 months waiting period

Which tyres size you have on them? Did you the to mod the flares?

[luis32gtr]

Thanks mate. Currently i have 9.5's. I thought i might be able to go bigger but now i dont want to take the risk

I'm running 10"+20 with 275/35 Hankook RS-3 tyres. Guards are rolled. Would be awesome to see 295 on 10.5 under a BNR32 but you'd have to flare the guards at a minimum.

FWIW i'm running 18x10.5 +25s wearing 265/35s on my BNR32. Rear guards are rolled and the front rubbed with unmodified guard liners.

The tyre manufacturer data I looked at confirmed that 265 is a suitable fitment on 10.5in rims, but every tyre is different so check the specific tyre you're considering before you buy it.

im also running 10.5 +22 rears and 9.5 +15 fronts both with 265-35-18 no modification on my stock bnr32.

im not running hellaflush stance though

Has anyone ever run a 17x9.5 + 12 wheel with 265 tyres all round, if so do guards need to be rolled?

[GH05T]

i ran 17x9+22 but with 235/40

they were very small in the guard, if a 265 18 fits a 264 17 should be no issue (depending on sidewall provile being comparable in rolling diabetre)

If anyone is interested i have some genuine BBS RS 17x9 +20 for sale. These were made specifically for the 32R
