need to know 100% what the offsets are. I've had a set of exact same rims on my car but with +45 as the rear off sets an didn't clear the rear brakes on my 33. As well as sticking out of the geard a few mm. The set i tried on my 33 came off a black drift 180sx.

I went and tried these on my R33 gts-t today...

Great condition rims and look great.......

This is what I found:

the rims are +45 front and rear offsets, so they hit calipers on a 33 gts-t on both front and rear, would need to run 5mm spacers both front and rear to fit them.

also both front tyres are completely bald on the inner edges, to the point that one wont even hold air. So the need 2 new tyres on the front. Rear tyres have near new tread on outside edge with about 2-3mm on the inner edges.

just thought people should know what I now know.

good luck with the sale

    • 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)
