Hey guys

Im thinking of getting some work emotion xd9's for my r33 gts25t, the sizes i want to go with are, Front 18 x 8.0 +28 offset, Rear 18 x 9 +30 offset, this is what my supplier has reccomended to me for my car ,is this correct?

Will they fill the gaurds nicely? or will they sit in a bit?

The tyres i will be using will be front 225/40r18 or 235/35/r18, rear 255/35/r18

What is your opinion on these sizes/offsets?

Cheers

Yup i just read all 11pages twice lol, was a little bit of help, most people seem to be using +38 offset for the rear which is weird because that is what work reccomend for my car in that size ,but my supplier reccomended me the +30 instead, will these still fit? or should i order in some +38?

I couldnt fnd anyone in that thread using the exact same wheel and offset sizes that i am looking at getting so im still a bit stumped.

18x9 +30 should sit ur wheel nicely close to the guards as compared to +38. 18x9 +30 is the same offset and width as a 34 GTR wheel which I have seen sit nicely on 33s.

Thanks alot mate, thats exactly what i wanted to hear, so what about the fronts (18 x 8 +28) how nicely will these fill the gaurds?

The main problem im having now is deciding what colour to go for lol, bronze or matt grey :) i cant decided, either way both colours should look pretty good i hope (will be getting some blue work wheel nuts for some extra bling :P)

Well i decided to buy the wheels anyway (im pretty positive they will fit anyway as thats what work reccomends) i got front: 18x8 +28 offset, rear: 18x9 +30offset, and also ordered some toyo t1r's, (225/40/r18 front and 255/35/r18 rears), they should hopefully be on the car tomorow so i will post up some pics :)

Finally some pics, sorry there not very good, im not the best at taking pics which is probally why they dont do the wheels justice, they look much better in real life.The rear fill the gaurds perfectly and hopefully wont even need the gaurd lip rolled over when i get some coilovers, i was expecting a bit more dish on the back but im not complaining lol, the fronts stick in a little more than i would like so i may get some wheels spacers and see how they look with those.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
