Concerned About Offsets For R33 Gtst, Any Advice?

[Rogue]

I am considering the following second hand rims for a 33 GTSt:

18 * 9 (+30) Front

18 * 10 (+17) Rear

I think both the front and rear are too far out from the hub.

I dont want to modify the cars appearance by flaring the wheel arches in any way, but of course rolling the sheet metal under the guard can be done without affecting the appearance so I would be okay with doing that.

Do you think these rims will have a problem?

Thanks.

Most likely the rears will not fit without guard modfication. The width is too big and the offset is too small (+17 is usually reserved for GTRs).

So what do you guys recommend for an R33 without modified suspension? 17's the max? What about width?

I've seen 20" on Skylines before. The bigger the diameter of the rim, the lower profile tyres you have to get.

For GTSTs, without guard modification and with appropriate offset the widest is around 8.5 at the front and 9.5 at the back.
