Bee*r Wheels On An R33 Gtst....possible

[nsta]

Really keen on importing these rims, only come in two flavours though for 18"

18 x 9.5, at +25, and +38 offset

The +25 has a deeper look to the wheels.....

Would i be able to fit as follows:

18 x 9.5 +38 with 235/40/18 Front

18 x 9.5 +25 with 265/35/18 Rear........still looking into 285's as an option too.

guards have been lipped thats all on the r33 gtst coupe.

wouldnt 9.5 inch front be a little to big??

I dont think you will get much response from the car around a turn or bend as opposed to a smaller width rim.

8 inch is perfect for the fronts with 235s..

But i could be wrong so hmm..

anyone?

Well you can always stretch some 235 over 9.5". This should have decent response, and it gives it more of a Jap look (if you are into that sort of thing).

+38 is a pretty high offset considering that stock is +40. I don't know how much suspension clearance Skylines have, but if it's tight, you would have to go for +25.

I would've thought not...

Interested to hear the answer though...

btw, otomoto sell these rims pretty cheap.

[siddr20]

hi,

i thought about the same thing before.. when i contacted Ben he said that the Bee-R rims would not fit on a R33 GTST, but do check with him tho..

They can be made to fit.

HPI also fitted these rims to their R32 4 door gtst. But they did fit wider fibreglass front guards.

But, hell I've seen an R33 GTST with R34 GTR rims on it. Stock guards too, and those fit fine.

I think you'll have problems with the rim contacting the front strut with 9.5 + 25. I've got 9.0 +27 on my Silvia but with an 18mm spacer and it clears with heaps of room... but I'mm also running wide front guards. On an R33 I would say you'd need at least a 10mm spacer to make them fit on the front, but the wheels tires will be sticking out of the guards a bit.

I realise it's an S13 and not R33, but I've found that swapping wheels between R32/R33/S13/S14 are all pretty similar.

R34GTR rims fit most skylines with stock guards coz they're only 18x9 +30. The above Bee*r rims in question 18x9.5 +25 will stick out like dogs balls at the rear. You would need to pump the guards out a fair bit. +38 at the rears will probably just stick out by a couple mm, but being a 9.5 wheel, u will need to see if it clears aftermarket coilovers IF you have them....a few factors to consider but at those specs, don't expect to fit them without minor mods/scraping

Neg camber will cure alot of what you posted... still lipping would be a good idea as would getting narrower tires for the rim to stretch the sidewalls.

You can always try koyo drift teks, they are pretty much identical but come in 8 and 9inch sizes to suit silvias and gtst's. i think they are 8 +30 and 9 +35 aswell as a 9.5 +25. I don't know if they come in 18 though as i've never been interested in anything bigger than 17.

Nope the Koya Driftteks dont come in 18"s only 17"s which sucks, have any of you seen the ROTA P45R??, search it on google and have a look. pretty much identical to bee r's,drifteks etc etc, and they come in lots of different colours, only thing is they have to be imported from usa

still wanting to make the +28's work for my gts-t, as they have a real deep look to them as opposed to the +38mm etc....
