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

265/35R18s all around on my GTCs, on my 33

Hey there

Did you have to do any camber adjustments and rolling your guards? Can u post a pic of your gtc just to show me how it looks like? I want to know how will it look like =]

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

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
