Recommended Posts

Yes it's done to death but I need an answer asap as I have a chance to buy either set of these wheels

How will these fit on a R32 gtst standard guards and body. Rolled guards.

I don't have a car to physically check but my HCR32 had 8.5J and 9.5J on back when I had it many moons ago. Can't remember the offset exactly but it was low (stock is +40), around the +20 mark. They just poked out a little at the front with no guard rolling or anything. Due to the design of the wheel I ran a 10mm spacer to clear the front calipers. 
Hopefully someone has the exact or very similar size to those wheels you're looking at to give a more certain reply.

For what it's worth, according to the Spec Tank page (Japanese) which I trusted with my current car to get the right size, even at 8.5J +30 (they don't have data for 9.0J) the rim might interfere with the suspension or inner guards at the front. It says it will extend 10mm inwards with that width of wheel. As for poke, it will increase 15mm outwards at that wheel width and offset. Add at least 12mm(?) to inner and outer measurements for 9.0J.

Don't get the fronts at 9x28. 9x30 (ie, the R33 GTR size, as previously discussed) is so close to poking out that you'd probably suggest that they actually do poke out.

The rears at 9.5" +38 probably won't fit. I was just under my car yesterday dealing with a broken toe control arm at the rear. I have 8" +35  (I'm pretty sure they are +35 - given what Enkei currently offer and that I bought mine many many many years ago). It's pretty flush on the outside on the LHS of the car and offset in about 10mm on the RHS (so, typical Nissan rear subframe not centered in the car bullshit). There is at least an inch of clearance on the inside to everything it could hit, on both sides. So I could clearly run a 9, but I don't think a 9.5 would be viable.

Using an offset calculator (to make it easy), the 9.5 +38 you want is going to stick in ~22-23mm more than mine. So as I say above, that should clear the suspension. The outside though? Going to stick out an extra 16mm. That would just poke on the RHS of my car and would be hanging out in the breeze on the LHS. Terribly.

I think 9" is the max that works on either end of an R32, and it is a squeeze at both ends.

Argh super confused still then

I found a mate with 9.5 +38s to try on the rear tomorrow but the fronts a problem.

I'm leaning towards the t7r 2p but I don't want to run a spacer either

Those are terrible descriptions of what is going on because you start reading the sentence and halfway through it seems to flip the meaning.

What you need is photos of the wheels in the sizes you're talking about with the disc options being talked about, so you can see if you think the fronts would look stupid.

I would think that if you had more curved spokes on the front so that they tuck back inside wheel more and leave more expose lip (compared to the rear), that it would look stupid . But you really should see first.

Is it not a thing to use the same disc on the rear so that it looks the same/better as the front?

How is it "ASAP" before the wheels have even been made?

If someone is out there making the wheels they should have diagrams of spacing for brake calipers and all other stuff for people in the very first run of a set of rims to consider.

Anyway, here's a link from this forum with R33 GTR wheels on a R32 GTST.

And here's a post from you, in that thread, with the same question. They won't poke out the front. They're 2mm further in from the fender.

Get 18x9 +30 all round and call it a day. Or 18x9 +28 all round and call it a day. Then it'll look the same.

If the +30 set and the +28 set have different faces, well, that's when you get into asking them for diagrams for brake caliper clearance.

perfect, 235 front, 245 rear wide tyres, roll guards to make them fit.

as long as it clears your brakes

    • With my CD swap I am going carbon driveshaft; I want my driveline as sturdy as possible; however one thing that keeps bugging me is the rear diff flange limitations of a 1310 yoke. I have seen and adapter for the 350z R200 that lets you run a 1350 yoke. However to the best of my research abilities the 350z R200 pinions are most likely incompatible with S/R/Z32 R200 diffs. Am I wrong? are there other options? 
    • Unless it's a proper track pad you're probably getting uneven pad deposits.
    • If the pads are just street pads (ie, stocko BMW offering) then the shuddering is most likely to just be uneven pad material (ie binder) deposition onto the rotor. If it does it next time you're out, use some 240-300 grit paper on both faces of the rotors. Just fold it over, hand hold it and spin the rotor by the wheel studs. Then go back out and see if it feels different (ie better) than it did immediately before. And then upgrade pads to something tougher perhaps. Also to reconsider how you treat the brakes on your warmup, while lapping and on your cool down. I'm not sure of the best advice here, but maybe something about what you are doing is the cause. Going too hard without a decent warmup? Leaving the foot on the brake when stationary while they are hot (ie after you spin off!!! :D), or not using the brakes at all during the cool down, or only at the very end of the cool down. Or any of the combinations, variations and other imaginable sins that are possible. Maybe you need some cheapo brake ducting added for the track to keep temperatures under control. If you can get some temperature paint or crayons, you could check to see how hot the brakes are actually getting and if that looks acceptable or scary.
    • I'd just guess at the usual suspects really. There's not that much to a braking system movement wise and everything has to be right or you get shudder or what feels like warping. In my case we were talking the wheel moving 100mm in every direction 5 times a second (it was ROUGH), like driving over train tracks continuously or something. I used to get gnarly shudder when pads got warm, and it turns out the actual pad was the wrong (yet also compatible?) size. This probably isn't your issue, and another issue should feel something through the pedal, - fade if the pads are way too hot, or a spongy pedal if your fluid has got way too hot etc. Also because BMW it could be weird BMW abs shit
    • Thanks, its a distance car lol, good from far, but far from good
