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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
