R33 With 17" Rims?

[lsf_bootz]

hi i have recently put coil-overs on my r33 and it is now sitting pretty low and i like where the height is at and dont want to change it to fit 18's so has any1 got pix of R33's , dropped on 17's ??? thx Josh

Heres mine its got Tein coilovers 17inch rims,

the wheel guards are hiding about an inch of the tyre,

its not the best height to have it at, as it scrapes every driveway i drive over

Just a note: Lowering the car won't affect what diameter wheels you can put on because in the end you should have the same rolling diameter to keep your speedo accurate.

Iif you lowered the car and it's fine with the stock wheels, then you should be able to fit any other diameter wheel as long as the rolling diameter (wheel + tyre) is the same.

Lowering does affect how wide your wheels can be though.

Heres my r33 with 17's and lowerd. Not sure how low or what springs but.

Its perfect over bumps apart from the big low front bar.

here is mine and my mates both have 17's but my one (front) has been lowered with HKS Hypermax's

my whale with 20 x 8.5" wheels and 225/30 tyres.

doesnt rub at all.

lowered with Kei Office coilovers.

as you can see, i would presume fitting 17s and slamming on its guts wouldnt be of any issue as long as the rim offset is ok.

My God those rims are massive 8OO5TED!

[**JaR**]

ur shittin me 20's dont rub at all on urs boosted? shiz

i'll post a pic of mine when i get home later.

[_8OO5TED_]

only time it has rubbed is when the car is on an angle and im turning sharply....

otherwise, its perfect

also, removed guard lining to make some extra room too.

was hoping to go lower, but my front tyres were running on the wiring loom that ran through the front guard lining so i cant.

Did you guys need to get your gaurds rolled or anything like that when you lowered? if my 33s been lowered by previous owner its still pretty close to stock height and with my momo 17s on it the tyres rub sometimes when turning sharp, anyone know where to get gaurds rolled in vic?Id like to go lower.

Also Ive come across a few low king springs for 33s for sale, what kind of ride could I expect if I had these fitted?
