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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
