Gtr wheels on coupe




Will it fit? I'm lowered on eibach pro springs and maybe looking to pick these wheels up with tires for a good price. Tire sizes are 255/40/20 Front & 285/35/20 Rear.
Front wheels 20"X9.5" +45 & Rear wheels 20"X10.5" +25

You'd have to run 275s in back or run extra camber back there, then you'd want a spacer in front to get closer to the rear fit at the fender, nice wheels though.

Or just run four fronts with spacers.

Alright so I got them on and it's rubbing the fender in the rear and hitting the upper control arm in the front. We used 20mm spacers in the front and none in the rear. So if I run camber kits all around there should be zero problems with rub right?

Running 285s will be contacting the fender at in-spec camber, if you want to run camber to the point of fender clearance that's up to you (and yes, you would need aftermarket camber arms and the rear toe bolt kit w/ elongated bolt slot). I would think camber in the -2.5 range might get you there, but would be easier to run a narrower tire in back.

Where are you contacting the control arm in front?

I have spc front arms (not installed yet till), just need rear camber kit and the toe bolts looking at spl for those but not sure which bolts you're talking about. I think running a little camber wouldn't hurt since I'm wanting to keep the 285s on them. The rubbing on the front is happening on the side that meets near the knuckle scraping against the wheel slightly up top when turning. Will adjusting camber on both front and rear fix this problem?

I assume this contact w/ the steering knuckle is without spacers, if that's the case, a little spacing should solve that since those front offsets are so conservative.

well I put on the 20mm spacers for the front, could it just be the fact that I don't have my camber kits on?

Yeah, if your camber is pretty high that upper inside clearance can be an issue, but w/ 20mm spacers that would be a lot of camber. Getting camber close to spec (or better) should get you running clean up front, and getting more camber in back should get you running clean back there, lol.

So I hammered the bumper bracket in the rear up some more to stop some of the scraping. The front clears where it was rubbing against the knuckle. I got to align the rear today at school, and got the left side to -2.9 and right side -2.0 camber (I know it isn't even but it's as far as it let me go on stock bolts). Didn't have time to do the front so maybe Friday I'll throw on the front camber kit. Here's some pics of how she looks as of now 🙂
