hey guys would like to know about the above wheel sizes on a r33. does anyone have any pictures at all of similar sized rims on a 33? will they stick out on the front or be flush?

i'm only ever use to a 17x9 +22 or there abouts rim on the front and they sit pretty well but not sure about this cause of the 8" size and i'm pretty sure the rears will stick out a tad and i'll prob have to fold the lip up.

any pics and help is very much appreciated!

gtr offsets aka +20ish will sit just nice and flush on gtst...

these offsets will sit just out of the guards a little like joeyjoejoe said... but not enough to worry about. stretch thems tyres.. 215/45s on the front and 235/45 on the back and the tyres will tuck in the guards and look phat. you may have to roll the guards if you havent already.

these are my rims... 17x8.5 and 17x9.5... not sure on the offset but at a guess it would be in between +10 and +20

^^thats nice man.

i've had 17x9 +19 all round on my 33 and they were awesome all round but with gtr sizes the rears always seem to be sunken into the guard more so i want some staggered sets.

any more pics of similar offsets?

well they wont just bolt up and drive away...

i am running 18 x 9.5 +25 all round and i had to lip and flare the guards a lil, remove the guard liners, and run 235/245 combo

not really that much work to get them to fit... you should see what i have had to do to get 15 x 8 -9's on my lil ke70!

the fronts will stick out 1mm more than mine, and the rears 9mm, so its easily doable, but only if you aren't a princess about your paint...

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
