I've tried to measure the offset of my stock R32 rims. It's a bit hard to be sure on the car but they seem to have 40mm offset.

If my 6.5" R32 rims are 40mm offset and Gtt rims are 7" would 35mm be near the ideal offset?

Does anyone know what the actual Gtt offset is?

They are 7.5 wide not 7.

Stock tyre size is 225/45/17.

Offset is roughly 35 front, 38 rear. - May want to double check that

Are you sure the offset is different front to back?

I bought a set of GTT rims today and they are all the same. The offset seems to be 39 or 40mm. It's a bit hard to measure to the mm with the tyres on.

From outside to outside the rims are 22mm wider than my 6.5" R32 rims so yeah, they are probably 7.5".

Anyway they look like a 100% legal upgrade for the R32 :)

Yes i was wrong about the offset. That was the offsets for 18x8 and 18x9 to fit my car. Nfi why i remembered at the time that they were stock offsets.

But yes they are most definitely 7.5 wide. Tyre placards etc state it.

I tried fitting them today.

Julzz was right, the fronts don't quite clear the TypeM caliper.

A 3mm spacer would fix it but aren't these illegal?

They only just touch as you fully tighten the wheel nuts.

Actually there would be plenty of thickness in the caliper to shave about 2mm off the edge that touches the wheel.

Is this too bodge?

majority of people shave off the Nissan wording on the caliper, this usually gives enough clearance for the rims.

id prefer to do that instead of spacers, as spacers are illegal.

Mine didnt touch the nissan logo, it was far from it. It was hitting the whole edge of the caliper when the tyre was rotated.

I have 34gtt rims on my 32gtst, they are 7.5" wide. I'm running 225s on the front and 245s on the back.

Initially had to run a 3mm spacer on the front as the rims bound up on the brakes, when I changed to 33gtst brakes this problem went away and I didn't need the 3mm spacer (there is barely 1mm of clearance though).

I have fitted r34 gtt rims onto a r33 gtst with no problems at all.. No need for spacers etc

However it might be ideal putting 3mm spacers on.

offsets are 38 (so i have read on these forums in the past threads)

I dont see why it wont fit a r32.

They got smaller brakes right? compared to 33s? if so then will fit perfect

I have seen pics of 32s with 34 gtt rims :P

bubba- WOW you got 245s on a 7.5inch width rim?? how? lol

thought 235s would be the most..

Yup same here.

however, its like a mm off from touching.

Rims still rotate freely!!

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
