Hello,

I'm looking to put some 18" or keep 17" on a R33 GTS25T.

Will need something that will fit well without the need to have agressive camber, roll fender or spacer.

Someone told me to go:

Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25T

18X8.0 +33 225/40 R18 F

18X9.0 +39 255/35 R18 R

or on 17"

17X8.0 +35 225/45 R17 F

17X9.0 +38 245/40 R17 R

Anyone running that kind of specs? Pics?

Thank you.

mate have a look there is actually a thread dedicated to fitment search is your friend.

i think your specs are too conservative but depends what you want i guess

id say 18x9 +30 is fine do you want staggared fitment or same size all round?

Saying "I want the best offset, but dont want camber/rolling/lipping", is a bit like saying "I want dirty slappers but don't want the clap"

I reckon halve your offsets and add an inch of width front and back.

However, if you wanna be soft about it and stay all legal and that, i'd go 17/18 X 9 +30 all round (R33 GTR and R34 GTR wheel sizing respectively)

I'd also suggest that a 40 profile on a 17 inch rim in the rear will be too low, better to stick to a 45.

cheers,

Jesse

I don't mind having different size F and R

I am looking for some aggressive look ( deep lip style if possible ) but without getting problem with rubbing and stay of course legal.

Will mostly daily drive with that set.

Gonna check that offset thread.

Thank you!

i wouldnt worry so much about legal and you wont get much dish on your suggestions rolling guards is no big deal any particular reason you want to stay away from it?

dont add an inch as suggested im running 18x9.5 +15 and 18x10 +20 on r33 and its taken a fark load of work to make it fit without mexican look. including +20mm new front guards lots of camber + low.

pm me if you want pics of different wheels and sizes i tried a few on my r33.

The reason I don't want to roll the fender is because I'm gonna keep the car just for a year or so before selling it again.

So I'm trying to get a nice stance rims + coilover. without having to touch the fender itself ( ok i'm lazy to do it as well )

Here a pic of my evo sitting on aggressive rims ( but I had to roll the fender )

looking something close to that :)

That offset on your evo is sick, should totally stick with that theme!

18X9 +30 up front and 18X9.5 +25 rear or thereabouts should get a similar look, and I'm pretty sure wouldnt scrub on stock guards so long as you run sensible tyre sizing, like 235/40 F and 245/40R.

Saying that, while i appreciate the appeal in staying legal, make sure you check the rules in your own state, as they vary as to what you can do with adding width to wheels and increasing track/reducing offset. I know in WA you cannot go wider than the widest rim specified on the tyre placard if said rim is 8" or greater wide.

So if you have to deal with anything like that, try to get a tyre placard that lists the width on GTR's, as this will allow 9" wide, or if your state allows +1 width sizing, you can go up to 10" legally.

cheers,

Jesse.

btw. Now your car(s) part of your sig makes sense, if the part suggesting the EVO is AMS tuned, 2.3L stroked and rocking a gt35r, well, I don't know how in hell an r33 satisfies you!

Exaclty what I'm looking for!

LoL, with a pic, it is easier for me to explain what I'm looking for ( english is not my main language )

Evo is running on Enkei NTO3M 18x9.5 +27 Front and 18x9.5 +40 Rear ( Eiback Spacers 5mm for the rear ) Warped with Nitto NT555 275/35/18.

I'm currently in New Zealand for work, and I always wanted to try the RB25DET or REB26DETT.

I end up getting the R33 GTS25T because you can get pretty good deal on them and RWD is fun :banana:

R33 is just going to be a DD car for home to work, so plenty HP/Torque for what I'm going to do!

Oh and that RB25DET soound sooooo good.... can't wait to mod it a bit.

Thanks a lot.

Sweet deal man! R33s are cheap as chups in NZ, i thought they were pretty liberal with mods though?

Kind of a "land that time forgot" deal?

Haha, I totally get the 25det sound thing, just got my 33 back on the road and after driving around my xr6 ute for a while, well, I'm glad to be back in the line.

cheers,

Jesse

The one I found is all stock except a 3inch muffler and a boost gauge.

Dunno how far you can go to keep it street legal, but sometimes I see car with noisy muffler and roll cage driving around the corner.

I'm from Tahiti, and this will be the only chance to try some real JDM stuff while in NZ.

Can't beat the sound of the RB25DET even if my evo has 600whp+. :banana:

just on that as well mate. r33 gtr wheels are 17x9 +30.

there are 103 pages of R33 pics in this thread...http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Po...&start=2040

I didn't saw that section yet. :banana:

I don't have broadband or what ever it is call... 3G pretty slow lol

Thanks man,

mine are, 17x8+36 front and x9+38 rears

the car is still at the stock height and near nothing camber.. im planning to run this thing with 245/45s in the back and 225/45 or 235/45 up the front

currently has 215/45 up front and 245/40 on the rear but only because i have too lol

am also planning to give it close to 2 deg camber all round once its got the suspension done and am anticipating no scrub.

Hope this helps :blink:

id hope that wouldnt scrub they are very conservative offsets/sizes.

i barely scrub just on big bumps and im running a massive 265/35 when i put a smaller tyre wouldnt rub at all.

P1170007.jpg

P1170008.jpg

ignore the front that took quite a bit of work but the rear is 18x10 +20 with only slight roll @ rear and you can see how low it is and like i said rubs only ever so slighty.

judging from your evo you know what it takes to make it look good so just do it and forget all these cookie cutter sized rims.

id hope that wouldnt scrub they are very conservative offsets/sizes.

horses for courses. this car will be driven far from conservative, my last evo never saw the track and had to run no less than +50 to "putt around" on the street. +43s were scrub a dub dub!

needless to say when im allowed to drive again in 2019 my "conservative offsets" shouldnt give me that problem :blink: yet should keep me scrub free on my track duties till then

On topic, if your going to track your skyline or even drive it hard and want to run decent tyres i probably wouldnt venture out of the 30 range in the back

GL

lol they come higher than that, 60 sumthen on the back of my 928.. 11" wide tho i believe :(

but please, PLEASE, PLEEEAASE dont get tempe specials lol... if you must go cheap atleast lenso's.. but not another skyline with vaults or gestaults.. please ill vomit...

yet the tempe comments would hardly make any sense to you.. being in NZ at the moment and owning a LHD evo i doubt you know anything about tempetyres.. perhaps for the better lol

I don't really get the tempetyres?!?! but I don't plan to invest lot of money on that car. Especially not on rims, no go on brand like Volk Racing...

But I'm going to get something like that:

110232070_full.jpg

( TE replica ) with some Yokohama S.Drive :P

I do plan to hit the track, so far I'm set on 18 x 9.0 + 30 allaround

But waiting for the car before deciding on anything, should pick it up my R33 tomorrow. :D

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
