Fellas,

Just purchased some rims for my r33 GTS-T, the rear is 18 x 9 +32

Just got a couple of questions:

1) I understand that with this size and offset, I shouldn't have any problems with my car when it's lowered as long as a roll the guard, is that correct?

2) Can someone PLEASE attach some photos of a 265/35/18 tyre on a 18 x 9 rim? I can't find any pics anywhere.

The reason I am asking is because I wanted to see how much the tyre would bulge out from the rim. Different angles would be good too!

Cheerio!

i'll grab you some pics of mine if you remember i posted pic in your rear pod thread as well.

although the angle doesnt show how bulged the tyres are.

i be back in couple of hours of to post pics for you if noone else has already

i have 18x9 +38 in the rear running the 265/35/R18 not sure if it matters but it's got near new falken fk452 on them

That would be great cheif thanks.

Ive got these size tyres and it doesnt buldge out at all. I think the buldge however is related to offset more so than width

And why would offset effect tyre buldge..... i.e. why would +22 offset have more/less buldge than say +40??

Hard to explain with diagrams but if u google the definition of wheel offset (distance between centre of rim and hub mounting face or whatever u call it) you will understand quickly enough.

The more negative the offset the more the wheel will sit out since the mounting is behind the centre and there is more rim width on the outside.

If u really want, tomorrow i will check my offset and take pics so u can see,

Hope this helped.

Cheers

wait... wat?

Offset is how far in or out from the centre line of your rim that the hub mount is. This has no correlation whatsoever to how a tyre will sit on your rim or how much a tyre's sidewall will flex.

I do :banana:

Yeah, offset will only affect the rim's position.

Nothing to do with the tyre.

The tyre, will give the bulge/stretched look.

But, 265's will not bulge, they fit perfectly, ideal size.

Stretched look go for 245? - never done it.

245? sif. man up and get a 225 on it... I'm going to try and get 225/40/18 on my 9.5's in a few weeks :banana: That said, unless you're going stupid low and need to tuck your perfectly flush offset wheels under your rolled guards, then you shouldn't have any valid reason to stretch em.

Haha. As said, never done it before. Never need to :banana:

Some people like the look and do it foe that reason.

Along time ago, I thought it was for those that didn't wanna spend the money to get the right siZe.

Sorry mate, i misread the query as how far will the rims sit out from the guards.

Obviously offset will not effect how far the tyres sit out from rims

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
