Would 17x8 +28 with 255/40/17 tires fit on the front of a R32 GTS-T without rubbing the fender or impacting the suspension?

This question comes from an argument I had with a guy who claims it would be fine. However I want to be proven wrong.

I have a '98 R34 GT-T. 

I had some Rota Grid 18x9.5 +35 and 18x10.5 +35 with 235/40 tires. 

Fitment looked good but the fronts actually scrubbed on the inside suspension when turning too far. The 235's on the 10.5's were also a bit TOO stretched for my taste.

So I just installed some Work Emotion 11R 18x9.5 +20's all around and kept the 235/40 tires. The fitment looks perfectly flush with the rear fenders but sticks out considerably on the front. VERY aggressive but it DOES fit with stock fenders and doesn't scrub. Sticks out more than I was hoping but I do like it. I don't intend to roll unless I somehow end up scrubbing. I'm running stock GT-R shocks/struts.

Car definitely gets more looks now. :)

I'm sure this has been beat to death but after searching and not having luck figured this would be the thread to ask my fitment question on.

 

Have a 91 r32 gtst

Trying to run 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35/18 on all 4 corners. Is this going to rub like crazy?

 

Current setup is as follows:                                   17x7 +47 215/45/17 and 15mm spacer up front. 17x8 +47 235/45/17 in back

Hi all

Just bought an r34 gtt. Currently has 18x9.5+22 front and back with 235 to the front 255 to the rear. Tyres are pzero but have 30 % tread left on them, so is basically undrivable in 1st-3rd with 300kw and 885nm.

I have hks coilovers lowered with about a 2 inch gap from guard to tyres. Guards are all rolled too. Currently the front scrubs but I think this is on the loose inner wheel plastic guard (so I don't think I could or would really want to go bigger than 235 as I would need some more camber or raise the car)

With the new tyres im thinking of buying, can I afford to go for a 265 or 275 on the rear or will a good quality 255 suffice?

When I ask can I afford to go, obviously anything is possible, but would anyone have a photo of this so I can see what it would look like?

Guys please assist. Wheels and I just do not get along. Someone are good at it, I am not!

My r32 gtr is lowered on hks hypermax coilovers. Currently sitting on 17's with a 225 tire.

I want to purchase te37's preferably 18inch and be able to fit a wider tire. Nothing insanely aggressive, but proper looking.

I want 18's because I will most likely be upgrading the calipers and need them to fit. the stock brakes are garbage. 

Also, no rubbing issues!

Please suggest. 

Thanks

 

I'm not a noob, promise. Just suck with wheels

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
