On my 33 GTS25t I've got a set of White Enkei's in 17x9JJ38 (Rear) and 17x8JJ38 (Front) and they fill almost perfectly! My car is pretty low though too.

I think to fill it just a little better, I'd go half a size up on both the front and the rear, but I think the back would probably need flaring if that was the case. :D

Nice Rims, Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like not many people have wide wheels on their R33's

17x8 and 17x9 (gtr offset and size) fit your R33 perfectly

but wouldnt those sizes be illegal? on the RTA website it says you can go 1" wider and 2" bigger from stock. So the R33 GTST wheels are stock 16x6.5? meaning legally you can only go 18x7.5?

I think the wheel restictions for S.A. are that the diameter cant be greater than 15mm from the largest tyresize listed on the tyre placard and that the offset of the rim does not vary by more than 13mm from the original rim.

You want the "JDM look" but you don't want to flare the guards? To fit some decent wheels you'll need to flare the rears at least a little.

Don't be weak, if your going 17" go 17x9" +17 front and rear. Will fit with ease with stretched tyres and rolled gaurds and a light flare on the rear.

dude if u want the jdm style get 18's but if ya bit tight go with 17's!

in my opinon 18's are the best size for most imports they just suit the car more! you just dont wanna go over board with some 20's!

remember guys it's just my opinon lol

Mate, what suspension setup do you have? That is EXACTLY the ride height I want to have on my 33. Does that clear the legal height limits? Looks fantastic. Well done.

define "jdm" look.

i was running -6 rear and -4 front 17x9 with 215 tires for awhile. got sick of pizza cutter tires, now im +10 17x9 with a 255 tire, all 4 fenders rolled.

youre not going to get the "jdm" look without rolling your fenders. people here do it for 40 bucks a fender with the rolling tool and a heat gun

Hey guys,

I found this googeling around and you can compare the stats of the new wheels you want to put on with the ones you have atm and it tells you how many mm of clearance is taken or given

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
