hey guys,

Im thinkin of buying new wheels with the following specs and im wondering if I'll have much trouble with them sticking out too much out of the standard guards on my R33 gtst...

I coilovers so height adjustment is not a problem.

Wheel specs:

F: 19x8.5 +20 R: 19x9.5 +25

From what I've been reading the front should be sweet but im not sure of the +25 rear.... any advice would be great

tom

I've got 18x8.5 18x.9.5 +22 all round on mine, fronts are fine, scrub the guard linings on lock/decent bumps

rears stuck out a fair way, you'll need some flaring, how much depends on whether or not you're going for stretched tyres...I'm running 265's so I had to flare a fair bit.

well I thiknk I'll be running stretched tyres, so maybe 215 front and 235 rear?

The front guards dont need rolling on the 33 just the rear needs to be rolled if i wanna run 265's I guess,

who in melbourne rolled your guards and whats the costs?

thanks

this guys running 18x10 +22 which is 9mm more aggressive then your rear wheels.

looks like you'll have to pump your guards a little or running a bit of camber

Yes thats the kind of agressive look I want, im gonna roll rear guards and maybe run narrower tyres.. sumthing like 245 on 9.5" and 225 on 8.5"..

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
