I searched and nothing really came up for the R32 rims. I was wondering what would be the best tires for these rims. I currently have a s13 hatch if that helps

any proper sized tire can go on the corresponding wheel, so there is no 'best' tire for R32 wheels.

Which variety do you have: the GTS 16x6.5 +40 or the GT-R 16x8 +30??

+1 for what he said.

If you want to make sure the diameter of tire won't throw your speedometer reading off by too much, then you can check it with the tire size calculator.

My favorite essential tool when I go shop for tires.

I have R32 GTR wheels, 16x8 +30 and I use 225/50/16.

For GTS rims, I agree 205/55/16 is good. For GTR rims I prefer 225/55/16 over 225/50/16 since it closes up the space to the fender a bit and the ride is much better. There speedpmeter change I didn't mind so much.

225/55/16 fills up the space in this picture:

I punched that number into the tire size calculator against 225/50/16. The speedometer reading will be 3.6% too slow. The speedometer will read 60mph when you are actually going 62.1mph.

I guess this can be a good thing since your odometer will show that you've been driving less miles.

But yeah...it's all preference. Just feeding more information to help you make the choice.

On a side note, WOW! The Skyline body sure is wide.... The wheels look sunken on the GTR, but on my S14, they look much more flush. The wheels actually look even better on the S13, even MORE flush.
