Basic, simple question to anyone running 10.5in wide rims on their R33 GTR's.

what offset do you have and are you satisfied with how they fit, sit in the guard, flush with the guard and no rubbing or scrubbing?

there is a 33 GTR that goes to allstar a bit, with 18x11 enkei rims on fit under the guards nice.. not sure on offset though..

Actually, he is on here, might give him a PM.

Thanks for reminding me Jamie, getting ready to upgrade from the TE37's I think.....just getting all my facts straight before I outlay many thousands on some quality wheels!

I have 18 x 10.5in Veilside rims on my 33 GTR. They came with the car. Not sure of the offset but the back is larger than the front and there are 5mm spacers on the front also. I'm currently running 275/35 R18 rubber on them and the side walls are stretched slightly.I don't have any problems with scrubbing.

hmmm might settle with the 9.5 +12 as I know they fit with the 18s on the car now.....just that its going to be an 8 week wait....can get 10.5 +22's now, but I'm being told they won't fit by a few different people.

im going 20x11.5 -5mm offset

on the rear of my 32 with GTR guards

its gonna sit right out, maybe 2mm outside the guard but with some stretched tyres and camber it should sit perfectly

dont be soft :(

Upgrade from yoiur te37's!!! is there such a thing! i would die for some te37's. They look awesome on your gtr, white on purple looks very nice. What would you like instead? If you have your te37's still nest yr i will be keen to buy them off you.. :)

it is an upgrade, lighter wheel, same brand, bit bigger, bit wider....always been a fan of what I'm getting, the colour is darker so less cleaning hassles. The TE37s are awesome wheels and the white does look great, but for a semi-daily driver it blows keeping them clean, and I'm sure Noy will agree with that! Dunno what to do with them yet, they need a bit of a touch up here and there, but nothing major!

New ones should arrive next week, I went with the 10.5+22 so we'll see how it goes!

They will fit easily...

Who makes 18x10.5 +22?

I run 18x10.5" +18 RE30's on my R33 GTR. No problems. I run 265 RE55's on them, but Ant has the same wheels on his 33GTR and ran 285' RE55's on them.

TE37 and LMGT4 are 18x10.5" +15 and they still fit.

sorry, I never mentioned 18s, the newies will be 19x10.5 +22 with 275/30/19

Any pics of yours Ferni, and Ants? Just to see how 10.5's look, also I really like the RE30's would have gotten them if they were available in 19s!

so your gonna be running 275 all round? no probs with the front that wide?

they are 275/35/18 on it now, all round, only minor rubbing on full lock, doing a uturn at a decent speed.

Interesting....as Ferni said I have had 285 x 35 x 18 RE55 on my 18 x 10.5 wide rims with no rubbing what so ever. Keep in mind that is RE55's which I believe are slightly wider than normal road rubber.

My RE30's are same size and offset as Ferni's....

Sorry i just assumed 18". Shouldn't make a difference being 19" since the tyre profile will be smaller to make it the same rolling diam.

Depends on your suspension geometry a bit as well if it will scrub or not. You may get a bit of rubbing on full lock at the front, but nothing to worry about. Rear you may need to get the guards rolled.

As Ant said, RE55 are a VERY wide tyre.. a 265 RE55 is more like a 275... so the 285 will be over 290...

I can see why....a good detail and some very minor touch-ups once they are off and they should come up nice, probably sell them to get some money back on the 19s, be great road or track wheels for someone!

Got the new wheels on Friday, and I reckon the bronze will look great with the purple and be alot easier to keep clean, they'll never look dirty....unfortunately the tyres I want are a 4-5week wait which I don't think I can cope with, so I might settle for a 265 rather than the 275, slight stretched look which will be fine.....undecided yet!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
