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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
