Hey guys I still havent figured out the whole offset game. Im sure there is a topic done somewhere if there is point me in the right direction. Does more offset mean the wheels sit further out from the hub or the other way around. I just want it explained briefly so I can go about getting some new wheels. Looking to get some 9 inch rear 8 inch front on 33 gtst. What offset should I be looking at to play it safe without rolling guards/flaring etc. Any help would be sweet.

lower the offset the further it sticks out so +12 and +20

the +12 will stick out 8mm more

right now my car has 18x8 +38

18x9 +38

this is lowered on coilovers, the front is much more sunken then the rear so i guess something like 18x8 +25 18x9 +35 would be ok if u dont want guard work.

best is to test fit before handing over the money

Excellent thats all I needed. Thanks for your help mate! So 38 all round is a pretty safe bet for 33 gtst? With coilovers?

Pretty sure that will be rubbing on the coilovers on the front, not to mention will look super gay.

I suggest you look into wheel offsets a bit more and find out what looks good on an R33. Offset can make or break the look of your car and +38 is definitely not going to cut it!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
