Hi All

im planning on buying a set of the gtc's and just wondering what you guys think about the wheel size and if it will fit on my r33 perfectly.

18x9+24 Front

18x10+24 Rear

Im not sure what tyre size should i get. Will a wide tyre fit in the rears without adjusting the camber or rolling the fenders? What set up will be perfect for to fit for my r33?

If any has the same wheel size or similar set up can you please post a pic?

Thanks heaps.

will fit nicely, the 10's will be a tight fit with a big tyre you'll get a 265 with a roll of guards you will need to run some camber as it will be a bit mexican but depending how low wll depend how much camber. front should fit up without any dramas, depends how low you want to sit.

Hi

Yeah thanks for the reply. Say if i have a smaller tyre size in the rear you reckon it'll fit nicely? Well my car isnt that low only 2 finger space front the guard with my current rims. I can always adjust the height cos i can adjust my suspension.

I also have another question, what is the lowest tyre size for the 10's?

Thanks for the help

Hey there

Looks nice man.. Yeah can you take a closer picture of the wheels on the side. cos i want to see how much it comes out from the guard or how close it is to the guard.

Cheers.

They should fit alright with the tyres I suggested, in fact the 225's and 255's should be a big help with all your clearence issues you are worried about. But with wheels of those specs, definitely get your guards rolled. You will need it, especially after lowering. Lowering will also induce natural negative camber.

The tyres I suggested though will give you the most amount of tyre stretch you can legally have with those wheels as well as keep your overall rolling diameter as close as possible to factory.

So lower your car, roll the guards, fir the wheels, pick up chicks. :thumbsup:

Hey guys

Thanks all for your replies. Yeah mine is a gtst. Im just worried about getting a defect for my wheels. The mods i've done to my car i try to minimize any defects as much as possible. All my piping in my engine bay is all original parts so when a cop do pull me over it looks stock as a rock so there is no issues =]

Yeah pls advise for my gtst what tyre size will be nice without any dramas? The wheel size might be too big for my car you guys reckon?

I run 18x8.5 with 235's on the front and 18x9 with 255's on the back of mine with GTC's. Not sure on the offset since i bought them off a mate, but at a guess they would be + high 20's.

with those sizes if you run your car low you will need to either roll, flare or camber (or a combination of these)

if you keep it 4wd spec then you'll be fine... (but who wants to do that?)

I'm running 18x10 + 18 front and rear, rears are 275/35 and front 265/35, this is on a GTS-4 but has had GTR guards put on the back though

Yeah thats wheels are heaps too big for my car. I'll probably gonna go with a smaller size maybe 18x8 front and 18x9 rears.

hey mate you can run a 235 on a 10" just a fair bit of stretch which you wont need with your current hieght id go either 245 or 255..

levinboy has a gtr so 265's all roundis no problem becuase his guards are heaps wider from the factory.

front i'd go with above suggestions

the wheel size you wont have any police dramas unless they are hanging outside the guards and your tyres are fairly stretched so i wouldnt worry to much but its always a good idea to have back RWC rims.. stockies ftw

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
