From the man himself, jerkracer.
Yes, they are R32 rims. But they look almost the same as some other R32 rims. Mine were GT-R rims. The other kind come on the lower GTS-t model. Those are 16x6.5JJ. These are popular because they are dirt cheap, look good, and fit easily. the GT-R rims are a bit different. The GT-R rims are 16x8JJ with a +30 offset. They fit perfectly in the back. In the front it's a different story. When I first fitted them they stuck out a bit. This was with a fully stock suspension. There was a bit of rubbing with 225/50's. So I rolled the fenders. This helped a bit. Then I got some Suspension Techniques sway bars. They helped a lot. I was going to get them anyway. I also dialed in as much free camber as I could with the stock strut mounts. This again helped a bit. Once I got the camber plates (part of the JIC FLT-A2's) this is what made it perfect. The front camber maxxed out at -1.9 degrees and this was just enough. Well, one side did about -2.0 but I wanted them equalled out. It doesn't sound like much but it is. So everything I did helped make this setup work out in the end.
They're a good size and tires for them are pretty cheap. I've never been into riding on rubberbands so with 225/50's they handle great and still have enough sidewall to soak up any road hazards.
