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..

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.

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 :dry:

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 :nuke:

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
