Hey Guys,

I am looking at getting some wheels for my R32 - either 17's or 18's. I am after something in Shadow Chrome with a dish. I really dont want chrome, and I'm not to keen on buying 2nd hand wheels. I have been getting the run around from a few places telling me that pretty much any wheels will fit my car. I want something which looks great and is good for every day driving.

I am currently looking at buying either of the 2 wheels from Tempe.

Can anybody tell me if they will fit my R32GTST?

First Preference:

Second Preference:

http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...010&part_no=614

If anyone can suggest something better, that would be of great help.

My budget is $2K

Thanks.

i dont think 9.5 will fit on the back. ive got 9s on the back of my 32 and the rims sticks out a little. if the tyres had vertical side walls rather than slightly stretched, then they wouldnt fit. oh yeah, and my wheels have zero dish, so even less likely with those wheels you like.

but if they fit go the first ones for sure. much better than the second ones.

these are my rims.

8in on the front, 9in on the back.

235s on the front, 265s on the back.

But the 265s are falken and are not real 265s. dont ask me why. they are only slightly wider than the 235s. as you can see in the pic they are streched over the rim slightly. if the sidewalls were straight they would hit the guard. but as they are now no scraping. front rims could be wider.

the top rims u posted are horny. but with that amount of dish i rkn u will need to use spacers or they will rub the inside. problem with spacers i find is that they push out the base of the wheel which sometimes will cause the rims to stick out, i.e. need flares.

i've got 10" rears with 265s and a bit of dish.

they came with spacers and stick out a fair bit...

here are some pics

coco69: It's amazing what the right offset does! I would've said 10-inch would never fit, widest would be 9.5 inch on the rear, but your car proved me wrong (even if they do stick out a bit).

I've got 9-inch on the rear:

And with +32 offset, the rim actually sticks out slightly. If it wasn't for the slightly stretched tyres (245/45/17) it'd be illegal... in Japan that is.

***The Japanese wheel manufacturers officially quote a maximum width of 8 inch wide wheels for the back of an R32 and 7 inch on the front!!! I for one couldn't accept 7 inch wide wheels... not after 3 or 4 previous FWD cars with them.

oh my... that is just sexy... all that negative camber, dish and that ride height.

rezz, so whats the illegal bit in japan? you not allowed to stretch the tyres? or is sticking out illegal?

does anyone know the widest tyre specs that can stretch across like 9-10" rims?

Mine are 17 x 8" +25 (i think) on the front and 17x 9" +38, Fit perfect, as long as the tires at the rear are pretty stretched (235s at the moment).

Sorry pics arent very good.

Thats right, the sticking out is illegal. You have to run some sort of wheelarch extension or pump the guards. Same as in AU right? But guys here (as you probably know already) just ignore the law and put on crazyass widths.

I just got the same rims 8.5 inch front and 9.5 inch rear in white. The rears have a nice 3 inch dish on em. They are actually not that heavy as some people might tell you and weighted about the same as my oz racings rims and other work wheels i tried out.

But i got mine from donnellans as the falken tyres in the tempe package are the el cheapo ones. With donnellans you can also go on 6 months interest free if you havent got the $$ for em.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
