Opinions ...

ok so i've been doing some reading on here about wheel fitment. I currently own a 93 GTST and what i basically have come to is i'm thinking i could go 18x9/9.5 with a +32 offset. I would like to have a somewhat wide aggressive stance. now fender rolling isn't a problem as my buddy is really good at it and secondly i have 15mm spacers as well if need to go all the way around and have a big brake kit on the way hence the rush on the search for rims. now i can't remember the exact size of the brakes but i believe they're a 330 mm kit. Now it seems as though most of you aren't fans of any style of mesh rim however i really like these rims as well as the color as my car is getting a nice matte black finish very soon. but would like to know if i will achieve the look i'm going for a wider more aggressive finish and stance. opinions are more than welcome and suggestions as well .. thanks in advance ..

Rims are Work Meister M1R's

Your probably going to need more than a 15 mil spacer to clear the front tires on the inside. and in turn you'll for sure have to roll don't know how far you'd have to pull. Nismo_Line on here just put on his panasport, that were 17x9 in the front and he had to use an inch spacer to make it clear the inside i believe.

you'll need to run at max a 40 series tire to eliminate rubbing. unless you plan on stretching.

Just for reference. My super advan's in the front are 17x8 +35 and even after taking off my 5 mil spacer they rubbed with a 235/45/17 tire so I had to roll my fenders...haven't put the spacer back on yet.

Edit: Diggin the look and finish though!

I was running a 18x 10 in rear that would have needed a decent fender roll and pull and would have looked awesome. I also put the same wheels up front and at full lock I just missed with a slight stretch on the tire. I had 245's up front

Dont go higher then a 21 Offset and you will be ok, buy proper sized wheels so you dont have to run poopy spacers. Sure properly sized wheels cost more but at the end of the day is sooooo muccch easyier. Idunno about you guys but I would hate to tell people im running spacers to make my wheels fit that are ment for a civic.

Awww one so far not approving of the rim but thank you for the info ... so in the rear i could essentially go 18x10 with a +20 offset and up front 18x9 with same offset ... sound right ??

[Supraclean]

No I like the wheel I was just meaning offset. You can make those fit but a 10inch in the rear you will need RUCA (rear upper control arms) adjustable and a wheel alingment to properly plant them on the ground. I know this because I that 18x10 -4 Work wheels.

Not to mention your going to need to Fender roll/pull if you plan on lowering your car.

Personally If you ask me the stagger and offset I would buy that wouldnt cause me a bunch of head ache and work. 18x 8.5 (20 or lower offset) Fronts. 18 x 9 (20 or lower)

Thats the stagger I would do.

^ I bet you the 18x10 looked and performed well though!

[Nismo_line]

im am running a 18x10 with low offset in the rear and it fits perfect. front i needed a 20 mil spacer for my 17x9.5 to clear my front caliper. my fronts are now in the negative with the spacer. I would go with a 18x10 in the rear with low offset then a 18x9 in the front with low offset aswell

[djcasanovar32]

nismo_line & supraclean what models do you guys have ? gtst's or gtr's ? just curious as to the fitment on the two different bodies ... gtr's can take a wider stance correct ?

[cschepp]

I'm pretty sure nismo line is running panasport rims on a gts and supraclean is running vsxx rims on a gts as well. Gtrs can take a slightly larger rim tire combo but maybe only .5 inch on the rim and slightly wider on the tires. Most of the Gtr guys run 10.5 wide with 275 tires.

Hey Chris they did not preform well unfortunalty untill I got adjustable RUCAS/FUCAS tension rods and a proper alignment. So many tuner car guys swap tire combos/ adjust ride height/coilovers and dont get a proper alingment. You may not feel the diference but your tire wear /bushings will.

Ill have to look up the picture of my wear pattern compared to it now.

Really good guess on my wheels aswell man, there a little bit older version then the XS XX tho. Mine are VS MX 18x8 +21 up front and 18x10 -4 in the rear, rare 3 peice so I plan on keeping them awhile.

My question for Nismo_line is does you tires wear evenly or when you switch out your tire is it wore more on the inside then out?

A guys has to remember as soon as you roll your fronts you wont have a fender liner anymore as the conecting points are justr under the lip. If your fine with that Id go for it but I personally like to protect my wiring harness and can stand the sound of small rocks bouncing off my fenders.

[Nismo_line]

not sure as i just put them on. so far they seem to be fine. i know on my old rims that were 9s they wore fine and casanova here are some pics of my rims fitted http://forums.gtrcanada.com/media/50...le-wheels.html

Love the look nismo ... btw thanks everyone for the info ... ok so essentially i could go 18x9 in the rear and 18x8 in the front with no clearance issues ? no rolling of anything correct ?? i would really love 18x10 in the back but can't pick up a RUCAS or a FUCAS just yet but i do have all the other suspension parts just not those yet ...

[Nismo_line]

i say you would be fine with 10s in the back. i love mine and think they perform great. you would need a roll with a 10 forsure

[djcasanovar32]

Perfect I like that answer hahaha
