2004 R32 wheel fitment

[Zack]

Hey guys,

Just curious about what wheels specs I'd be needing for an 04 R32. As in stud pattern and offset? I haven't purchased the car yet but I have my eyes set on some OZ Ultraleggera wheels already. Also what would you guys suggest for spacers once the car is dropped a little.

Now onto suspension... I had coilovers in my last car and the ride comfort wasn't too great. I'm not sure if I want to go that route again because I don't really plan on tracking the car. That said, has anyone had experience with the H&R lowering springs? Care to share what suspension you're running? Whether it's just springs or coils.

Also, where does everyone buy their wheels/suspension in Melbourne? Does anyone order from overseas?

Thanks for any help!

I still think the original wheels are best!
suspension....bilsteins and h&r springs...great setup, i had VW racespring which were excellent

Spacers 15,16mm all round sweet

coilovers....everybody will have diff opinions!

keep standard wheels, if not its just not a R!. If you are looking for a R I might know of 2, both blue and only done 20,000K and 30,000k, think they are wanting $31,000. Not seen the cars but have been told by my manager at work about them, think they both have the APR chip aswell. ..VW..

Stock wheels are 18x8 with a 5x100 stud pattern. ET is +38 I believe.

Be aware that spacers are illegal, and will likely result in a null insurance payout if they're found and the insurer can make out that they could have contributed to the accident (or they may simply cancel your insurance period as the car is not considered roadworthy with them on).

On coilovers - it depends what you get. Not all coilovers are created equal, and generally $1000 coilovers won't be as good as $2000 coilovers which won't be as good as $3000 coilovers. I'm pretty happy with my PSS9s, but I got them specifically because I intend on tracking the car (it just so happens their public road ride is fantastic too). You can get excellent results from good spring/strut combos at a lower price for comparable quality if you don't want/need the adjustability.

Thanks for the info and the heads up on the spacers. I had no idea they were illegal.

The Superleggera's on my car are

18x8, ET 35, 5x100 and take a 60° Taper lug so make sure when you order the wheels to order the lugs with them as the stock Oz Aristo wheel lugs are ball seat.

Cheers Al

Damnit, out by half an inch width. May have had myself confused after seeing the specs on Al's wheels!
