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.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
