I've bought these ANZ 17'' multi 4 stud rims(4x100 and 4x114.3), they were on a Civic.

But I'm just wondering if it will fit my car (96 R33 GTS).

The rims are 215/45. And I've read it somewhere that the "lug size" might be different between a Honda and a Skyline, so will they fit? And can I use my current nuts for these rims?

hahaha thats precious.

dont buy wheels before you know they will fit.

4x114.3 is correct for a non turbo however, lug size has nothing to do with the wheels.

only thing of concern is offset and width - 215/45 only relates to the tyre, not the rim.

I have got R32 GTR's which are 9 iches without any problems.. but its a 32.. could there be that much diff?

BTW... need offsets to confirm..

If your talking about the r32 gtr wheels in your pics, they are actually 16x8 +20something (cant remember the offset)

The lower the offset the further away from the brakes/hub it will sit.

+30

Somone was saying that 7 inch front and back was the widest you could go..

So I figure that the I figure that the 33 should be able to run just as wide rims as a 32.. considering r33 GTR rims are 8's too I dont see the problem with running 8's.. thats what i was refering too..

Can we get what model civic? Because I know some civics run ~+40 offset (in which case they will be sweet as and will sit the same as stock wheels).. unless the previous owner bought a set of rims with retarded offsets..

just so you know r32 GTR Rims are 16x8 +30 R33 Gtr Rims are 17x9 +30 and R34 Gtr Rims are 18x9+30.

dont buy them, 215 wide tyres are ghey, and with a rim width of only 7" you wont be able to fit much bigger later on.

keep searching, plenty on nice rims out there

EDIT: just realised you already bought them, OOPS...

only one in this thread that is making any sense!

Those rims off the civic will look terrible, sunken fitments FOR THE LOSS!

If you have an R33 then you will need something with more of a negative offset for it to look any good! R33's have massive guards you will need rims at least 8" wide (+30 offset) or 9" (+35 offset)

Umm NO.

I've run 9 up front and 10's on the rear on my 32 gtst with no problems. Depends on the offset, the wider the wheel, the lower the offset needs to be.

knowing the offset is vital, stock R33 wheels are 16x6.5 +45ish, being 17x7's i wouldnt recommend going any higher than +45, my guess is those wheels are between +38 and +42 so should be fine. as mentioned GTS's have small little 2-pot calipers which are easy as piss to clear, so chances are the wheel will clear them fine.

pretty simply though, fit them and find out, put them on, push them hard against the mounting surface and make sure theres no obvious fouling, tighten 2 nuts up, spin the wheel around by hand, watch for it clearing the caliper, watch for it clearing the upper control arm at the front, at the rear look out for the tie rod end for the HICAS (shouldnt be an issue for these wheels), then turn the front wheels lock to lock and check for rubbing. if this is all good drop the car and turn the wheels lock to lock and slowly drive back and forth, get someone to stay close to the wheel wells and listen for any rubbing.

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      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.
