I had 18x9.5 +12 TE37's on my R33 GTR and they fit pretty well, filled out the guards nicely, but with a 275/35/18 I got some minor scrubbing on full lock so I'd go a slightly thinner tyre...mine are currently for sale if you are interested :rofl:

I now have 19x10.5 +22 CE28's and they fill the guard out just as well, I wanted the fatness and that tough dished look of the 10.5 but didn't want the scrubbing so I went with a 265/30/19 for a bit of a stretched look and they don't touch anywhere, ever now!

thanks man, would 18x10.5" rims +15 be cutting it close?on say a 265 rim?

can you post some pics of your ce28s, must look crazy!

I'm not really the right person to be asking about offsets, I made a thread in here to ask about them myself!

I'll try and get some pics taken this weekend, would prefer to wind the coilovers down a little beforehand to get the stance right, so we'll see how I go.

please post pics peiople, really need to see what im getting.......even the ce28 pictures would be great help.....

Question...

would a 18 x 9.5" et12 te37 wheel have the more deep spoke look compared to a 18 x 10.5" et15 te37 wheel? since the offset is less on the et12, but the rim size is bigger on the 10.5" obviously....which one will give the more deeper spokes look?

ok, well here is a pic I took yesterday arvo, not really one I want to post because the car is filthy, the wheels are filthy and I want to lower it more, by quite a few turns on the coilovers to get the stance just right.....but just to give you an idea.

TE37 18x9.5 +12 275/35/18 Falken - could've been lower for a tougher look, but 18s are bit small in my opinion on a 33

TE37 19x? +? - just to show you how a 19in looks with what I call the right height, whereby the front has a little clearance from guard to tyre but the rear sits nicely just on top of the tyre.....which is the whole reason I went with 265s not any wider.

Well I don't use the car to go round corners overly fast, I'm more of a straight line guy, but yes I hear what you are saying.....but I'm talking maybe 1-1.5cm up front and maybe a tiny bit more down the back, just to have the guard sit a little closer to the tyre, maybe a looks thing, but I don't forsee me doing many mountain runs where its going to have a major impact!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
