no such thing as a bit excessive, do you see this bloke saying that "can't use those rims as they are a bit excessive" NO.

well for some stupid obscene reason i took your advice today... picking up my new gestalts virogue's tommorow :)

18x7 +45 all round. fair good aye?

NOT :P

we shall see how they fit up first before i post it up :ph34r:

p.s. if i cant physically fit these new wheels on im blaming it on you hahaha :happy:

got em on,

heres the details:

work vs xx

18x10 front +13

18x12 rear unknown offset (there was no stickers on em and i couldn't be arsed measuring for now, just wanted em on)

20mm rear flare will just cover the tread on the stretched tyre but rim will still stick out, front will be fine with a 15mm flare.

and nisskid, take a look at jms old r33 skid car, that had flared gtr guards on it...

in fact i have a pic of it uploaded here:

not many things make a 33 look good as its a very bubbly and weird shape to begin with, but those flares on gtr guards are hawwwt.

wait, so u have rear GTR guards, on a GTS-t?

and im going off the ad on ebay, that says they are 18x12 -4, but ur saying the offset is unknown.

im confused lol, im not following that well.

also flares may create a nice veranda that covers the tread, but wont give u as much clearance for the tyre going up into the guard. each to their own. not a fan of the mexican look, would rather see a more flush look.

nah theyre not those wheels off ebay man... different set but same specs pretty much.

i have no guards on, just standard ol dirty r33 body. And yeah i get what youre saying about the tyre going up in to the guards, as it is now it scrapes a little bit but well see man.

Ill get em flared and get some camber on it see how that fits/drives, if its not what im after then ill get some new guards for it. I just dont like fiberglass as its like a cheap way out and you can never get the finish perfect, not to mention all fiberglass flares/kits for an r33 are dog ugly

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
