Hi All,

I know that everyone is sick of seeing people ask what will fit on their car, and yes, I've read through the Wheel Offset guide and the 'Real life' fitment thread.

The only problem is, is that I have a 1% negative feeling that makes throwing a lot of money at rims so very difficult.

Could someone please let me know whether any of these 2 sizes below will fit an R33 Series 2 GTST WITHOUT using spacers:

18 x 8 +36 (front)

18 x 9 +35 (rear)

--And--

18 x 8 +36 (front)

18 x 9 +36 (rear)

Thanks heaps if you can guys, again, sorry for this post as i know everyone is tired of them. I'm more tired of wasting money on incorrect parts.

they will fit without any issues. they only issue you may have is dependant on the design of the spokes. if the spokes are stright u may find that it just touches the calipers. sinething with a slight curve is best

GT-C's are f**kin expensive brand new. I know where you're coming from when you say you don't want to spend heaps of cash on wheels that don't fit.

With the disk type, you can look at the raysengineering site and they should have a list of different face designs. It ranges from I think it was H for high, M medium and L for low. The lower one would give you the most dish, but less brake clearance, higher face type, more for brake clearance. The list should also tell you if they'll clear the 4 pot brakes. From what I can remember, it was M for the front and L for the rears and they'll fit, BUT make sure for yourself or email them.

Good luck with it and post up some pics when they arrive.

Cheers

Thanks Adam,

The GT-Cs are second hand but barely a scratch on them..

They have the numbers on the back stamped:

18 x 8.0 J (A-E) of. +36 PCD114.3 5H GL

18 x 9.0 J (C-O) of. +35 PCD114.3 5H GL

So judging by your explanation of the letter H, M and L; I have either H (5H) or L (GL) which puts me back where I was..confused.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
