Anyone know whether a set of 18 x 9.5 +20 wheels would fit on a 33 GTS-t coupe, front & rear?

Just want to make sure that there would be clearance all round.

Cheers

Had 18x9.5+22 on the rear of mine, 265 tires, fair bit of guard flaring was needed to fit em...

18x8.5 +22 on the front fit flush with 235's, scrubbing the plastic guard liners on full lock/big bumps.

Pics in the thread in my signature.

I've got 18 x 9 +23 up front, and a 18 x 9.5+18 on the back. 235's and 245's respectively. Fronts fit without any mods, sit just in but pretty flush. Rears have been flared a fair bit, but probably would have got away with a slight pump and more camber/skinnier tyre. I just didn't want the rim sticking out too much, too much police attention for a daily.

there is a thread with this info.

will be very agressive fitment

18 x 9 +30 with 225/40 also got 25mm spacer to clear brakes so makes it about +5 sticks out quite alot.

18 x 10 +20 with 235/40

i had to roll guards front and back to stop scrubbing if you dont stretch tyres it wont be fun if your lowered

nisskid is best to ask for this stuff :bunny:

Cheers guys, yeah nisskid I thought that may be the case. Should clear the standard brakes ok, and not rub on the suspension? Also what's a reasonably stretched tyre size to fit on an 18 x 9.5 wheel?

A few of you say guard flaring, do you mean rolling?

i wouldnt go smaller than a 215/40.

it will clear suspension, brake clearance depends on disk height

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
