R32 GTS-T wheels size?

[got_boost!]

There was this notorious pot hole out on the west coast were I used to live that ripped the better part of the oil pan off some tourists rented car.

Re: R32 GTS-T wheels size?

215/40/18 with 42 mm offset and a 5x114.3

or

215/45/17 with 42 mm offset and a 5x114.3

Probably about 7.5" width for both.

I have some for sale in the classified section.

Are you certain that that offset is for the GTS-t? I am interested in getting the offset for the GTS-t, and was wondering, does it differ from that of the GTR.

[assman]

sorry to bring back an old thread, but i also am wondering what the offset for the gts-t is.

FunkyMunky?

[icydude]

is it not 30, or is that a gtr?

I think the GTR offset is 20mm. The stock offset for a GTS-t is 30mm. If you want to go bigger though then I don't know. I am trying to figure out what offset I should use to get the deepest dishes possible for the car, but nobody seems to know. I have talked to many people in the UK as well (in person I might add) and they don't really know. People here all seem to have "normal" rims, not too many people have a deeper dish set of rims.

Ok wow nelly...

+ 42mm offset? we don't drive hondas here... and running an 18 inch rim by 7.5 inches? That would look drop dead retarded.

Why would you go UP in offset over stock? Lower the offset, bigger the dish.

NONE of you guys will ever achieve a NICE deep dish look if you don't do at least MINOR fender rolling. If you don't plan to roll your fenders then at least run stretchedass tires on your 18 inch rims to clear that 3/4inch inner lip on your fender. If you dont, then the inner fender is going to cut into your tires.

Consider This:

Are you going to roll your fenders? Rolling Fenders usually means a paint job

Are you going to drive your car dumped / slammed?

If you answer no to both questions, then you probably will never achieve the deep dish look.

Also, if you don't run stretched tires, in my opinion, it'll make dished rims look funny.


Currently I run 17x9 front and 18x9.5 rear. *secret offset*.

I can fit 18x9.5 rims all around with no further mods; that is why im selling my 17 fronts

the offset on my 18x9.5 is NO WHERE NEAR 42mm.

Although my rims do not have a dish, they are bowed in a LOT over what they normally look like. Also, with lower offset rims, rims tend the "change" their shape and look dramatically different.

If you notice how different the RSX work rim and the rim on my car looks; it's all because of the size/offset.

Heres an example of Unlucky Menace's recommendation of 215/45/17 with 42 mm offset *good size for Hondas/Acura RSX etc LOL*


Obviously you wouldn't want your rim looking like that on a skyline, thats just mighty retarded.

Here is my 18x9.5 on the rear


Here is the 18x9.5 on the FRONT and 17x9 in the rear. In my opinion, the 17 at the rear looks funny. 18 inch rims all around is the way to go





Fitting rims is almost like a trade secret, that is why a lot of us dont know how to do it while everyone in Japan are running sickass rims.


Tip for you guys, DONT run near stock offset, it'll look dumb like your stock rims. Depending on if you roll your fenders or not, I can tell you that you can run rims anywhere between +10 to +28offset and also depends on which rim u get.


GO LOW OFFSET, or you will be very disappointed.

Also remember that all the 'magazine cars' you guys drool over are TRACK CARS

They actually HAVE a reason to run wide and deep dished rims.

The cars you see usually run close to ZERO or NEGATIVE offset.

If any of you guys have actually seen Hideki's Tomei sponsored 240 (Hideki is Cannonball-R owner) , he runs like ZERO Offset SSR P1 and like a 15mm spacer (correct me if im wrong, but i think im right).

Zero offset and 15mm spacer is like -15 offset. The dish on his rims is bigger than a pack of smokes.

so can anyone confirm what the size of gts-t wheels are?

[klys]

I'd also like to know
Can 17x7.5x+20 in the front and 17x8x10 in the back be ok??
what tire need to be put on that? after?

[icydude]

so can anyone confirm what the size of gts-t wheels are?

i believe they are 6.5x16 and 22+ offset

[assman]

can anyone confirm this?

(sorry icydude, not saying that you don't know your stuff, just want to make sure before i go out and buy the wrong wheels sizes)

[icydude]

you will not want to keep stock offset and width i would believe so that would nto matter.

[assman]

in the skyline book.pdf (it's stickied at the top of this section) it says the sport wheels are 16x6 1/2 JJ +40 with 205/55R16


i don't know....but +40 offset for the gts sport wheels just doesn't sound right.

[klys]

Ok so I might finally get wheels in Canada from a retailler...

I currently have 18x9.5 at the back
and 17x7.5 up front

I'm thinking Work Emotion 17x9 in the back .. with .. what offset? 25 30? I don't want to stick OUT of the fenders like 604's 9.5 in the rear.

in the front I would like 8 or 8.5 .. which I think is the max .. without mods..

as for tire ..

17/45/235 for 9" is too little ? too streched ? 245 better? is 9 even available for these wheels .. form the numbers I'm calculationg I would guess 9 is not available and 9.5 would make more senseok here are my calcs:

9 inch = 228.6mm 9.5 241.3

8.5 = 215.9

and front's well 17x8 or 8.5 should be nice

Any additionnal help is appreciated thanks

EDIT:

well here's what I've found out in terms of wheel size and tires.

Note: this fits R33 gts-t ..

275/40/17 rear on 9 1/2" rims , 245/40/17 front , on 8 1/2" rims I would supose these wouldn't be stretched

[rickskylinebnr32gtrjp]

+40 sounds correct for stock R32 GTS-t.

ALL GTR's (R32/33/34) are +30 stock.

Most aggressive offset on R32 GTR without rolling fenders is +22. I have seen some suggestions to run a more aggressive rear of +15 which might work, but you can't rotate your wheels/tires as easy. With Fenders rolled, you could probably run a +10 or so.

The R33/34 GTR's run +10 to +15 without rolling fenders. They could probably run a 0 if they rolled in their fenders.

Most aggressive R32 GTS-t's I have seen here in Japan run 8 in fronts and 9 in rears. That is the most aggressive I have seen, but not sure what offsets they are running. Most of the guys run less aggressive 7.5 fronts and 8.5 rears.
