Hey,

I'm looking to purchase a set of Nismo LM GT3 rims that are 18''x9'' with +26 all round for tyres....

I am very curious to know if they would fit under a 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T...

I am far from being the most technical person so basically i am wondering if they would fit if i had the guards rolled or they are just to large to fit under the wheel wells even if they are rolled?

Are the Stud patterns the same?

Would my camber be destroyed if i put them on or is it a direct bolt on?

If camber is destroyed where and how much would i be able to find a fully adjustable camber kit to make them work?

Help on this subject would be awesome so i know whether to purchase them or not...

Please help me out...

Thanks...

Jake

They will of course bolt on, which will be great for photos but driving will be another issue. Being GTR wheels, they're deigned to fit under much wider guards and fitting these onto a GTS25t will have them hanging out the guards by at least 10mm meaning guard clearance issues. There may also be issues with the rim width of 9" (not sure), you'd be better off getting something more suitable that won't give you a headache and burn a hole in your pocket at the same time (despite looking awesome!)

Maybe check out 350Z or Maxima wheels.

Wheel selection won't alter your camber, good luck.

I have already purchased new front guards that are wide body (20mm wider on each guard)... So i hoping the front will be fine but i am more concerned about the rear guards...

Will they fit flush or will they be hanging out the sides? (even if the guards are rolled, and being that they are 9'' wide)

Or even worse rubbing on the interior guard or undertray and destroy the rubber...

Please post up again once this is read as i am quite eager to get them...

Any help would be much much much appreciated...

the best thing about the r33's is you can fit whatever width wheel/tyres you want (within reason ofcorse). you shouldnt have any clearance problems with standard rims and tyres from another car. i had 19x10's on the rears and they were fine.

this is a pic of my car jacked up on these rims.. they sat fine:

Also, what size tyres should i be thinking about getting?

The seller suggested that i change the existing tyres from 265's to 235" or there abouts...

Will it make a dramatic difference if i do change them or will it be fine if i stick with the 265's for a while?

I'm in the process of fitting 17x9's with an offset of +22 to my gts-t and yeah as someone said.. burning a hole in my pocket.. but i love the rims

I'll be getting camber kits to help out a bit and flaring the guards, we'll see how it goes then. Haven't seen the rear on but the fronts stick out like nothing else.

But I say, the main problem is just the fronts and you have wider guards for them.. so just do it! Maybe look at flaring the rear even if you don't need it so it doesn't look so odd with fat front guards!

but yeah i say DO IT!

my 19x10 fix without any camber kit or anything.. heres a pic of it the moment i got them on my car... it looked like a 4wd but they didnt rub which is the important part. if you dont want to fork out money on camber kits or whatever, just lower the car according to how much space you've got.

There are 1 very small mark on a Rim from when a car has kicked up a stone...

(not the long grey cord, that was from digital camera, about a cm to the left is a tiny mark, sorry bout quality but was best i could do and it really is a tiny mark)

Would have to be local pickup only too sorry, would not know where to begin to ship rims off to another place... Local pick up would be Wollongong or the Illawarra area...

The rims are perfect and look outstanding on Skylines... If interested please PM me or Leave a msg in here or in for sale section or msg my phone on 0421 545 240

Thanks... Jake

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
