not sure i have a r32 4 door

with old enkie 16X8 on the rear - without lipping the gaurds they wouldnt fit with 225 tyres had 205s to start with fitted fine - not sure what the offset is

fronts are only 7inch wide 8s wouldnt fit too well on the front

my offsets are probably wrong

have seen 255 tyres on 17in rims on a 32 4 door would be 9in rims i would think and they were rubbing but only just

I currently have;

17x8 +30 on front

17x9 +30 on rear

my car is lowered to 340mm and due to the soft damper, just a bit firmer than stock suspension i get scrubbing.

I get scrubbing on the front and i have 8inch, whilst yours are 8.5 even larger.

If your suspension is stiff it shouldn't be a problem

Tried my 34 GTR rims on a clients 32 gts-t .. no rubbing

im running 17x 9's they fit easily

tis only when ya look at 18 + that ya might need guard rolling

What offset they have ??

ive got 18x7.5 or 8 on mine and only had to make some 10mm spacers for the front to clear the calipers and didnt need to roll anything

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
