Hi all,

Thinking about purchasing a new set of wheels. These ones will be mostly for show so i was thinking of getting 19s. But if the widths and offsets on the list wont do for an R33 GTST then ill stick with 18s.

What can i fit under the guards:

Only interested in the 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 wheels.

woah thats kinda confusin for a 33 id be stickin with 18s personally.

fronts you'd be going 22 or 35 depding what look and how you want it to sit how much work to make it fit etc.

rears 9.5 +0? or 10.5+22 will need lot of work for 10.5s and lots of camber so without knowing your application im given you advice on what i would do.

for practicality (and not knowing what rim it is or desing) you could easily do an 8.5 or 9 front with a 9.5 rear but will be pretty conservative with the high offset options.

the 18x8 and 18x9s have a pretty weak offset,go 18x9.5 with 22 offset all round. will look pretty good

i run 17x10 rear and 17x9 front both are 17 offset and just fits with stretched tyres (no camber arms or flared guards) :P

yeh but running same size all round for what reason? i mean each to there own but personally unless its a gtr it just seems ghey

yeah fair enough, but the smaller width rims dont have a good offset, the reason why i didnt say the 10.5" is i thaught u guys have strict rules re. the size of wheels you can get? but i totally agree which is why i run a staggered fitment :D

and NYTSKY you might want choose wether you want matt black or full polish, as the full polish doesnt seem to have many offset options and might require more work putting them on

Ive had 19x10.5 on the back before but with a +42 offset.

Not really keen on the same widths all round either.

Id like 19x9 19x10.5 but the offsets listed are very aggressive and IMO couldnt fit with conventional guard work. So maybe new guards are on the cards :)

i would fit a 9.5 +22 front and a 10.5 +22 rear.

235/40 all round.

guard roll and some camber made by lowering the car and should fit well!

I don't see the point in running a 10.5" wide wheel to stick 235s on it, dont forget daves car has nearly 600hp at the treads and will have more soon.

true. but he did say these were for show as well. so if he wants to tuck 10.5's then 235 would be good. im sure he could fit a 255 also. heck even a 275?!

im not 100% sure how much wider a 33 is but i can fit a 9.5 +15 under rolled r32 gtst guards with a 245/40

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
