Buying rims for my 95 r33 gts-t was wondering if ne1 knows if a rim that is 18 * 7.5 with 235 20 18 tires will fit with no mods to the guards or anything. Going to get them from overseas in about 5 hours so if ne1 knows anything please let me know thanks in advance.

So keep as is with the 40 mm offset or go for the 20mm offset. If i go for the 20mm will there be any clearance issues. will i have to do any mods like rolling the guard and stuff with the 20mm offset or will it sit nicely also i wanted to know with the 40 mm offset will it sit flush with the fender or will it still be sitting inside the fender cause i want it to be flush so it can look kind of wide.

+20 is GTR offset but because its a 7.5" wide wheel it may be OK. U need to use the offset calculator and stick in ur current stock wheel specs in and the new one and see how much further out it will sit.

+40 offset will definately NOT sit flush with ur guards...it will look pretty much like what ur stock wheels are now (inside the guards).

For a GTST, optimal offsets are between 8" +30 or 8.5 +35 for them to sit almost flush with the guards without any guard mods.

If you are importing wheels from Japan, don't bother with 7.5", get 8 or 8.5 at the fronts and 9 or 9.5 at the rear.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
