Can I Fit These Rims On An R33 Gtst

Hi all,

basically iv got an R33 GTST. At the moment iv got 18x9.5 +36 on the rear which fit with plenty of room. I have the guard lip completely cut out pre-emptively but n these puppies fit with plenty of room and i still run the minimum camber possible on R33 standard camber system, also car is lowered alot.

so now im looking at putting 19x10 +10 on the rear. Is it possible? any body done this before? (photos?)

i dont want to run any more camber. But im happy to raise it up a bit in height (i have adjustable suspension) so it doesnt hit the guards like it does when its low. Also able to put on the arch flares so that it doesnt look like the rims stick out further than the body.

any thoughts on all this? particularly actually getting them to fit...

cheers people.

Dont think its a very good idea

according to this your new wheels will sit 32mm further out then what your current ones do.......

From what I know a 10" +10 offset is a GTR fit

lol yes it can fit, dont need "gtr" guards BUT if you dont want any camber etc then no it wont without arches which will look homo.

so really id say dont bother cos what your describing will look bad

thanks for all the replies people.

yeah begining to err on the side of too hard basket. sounds like it will be a mission and even then it may not be a good outcome...

however if anybody has any pics or direct experience with fitting this typre of rim to an R33 GTST id be dead keen to hear about the experience...

its 100% possible but not with out camber/low if you leave stock hieght etc it will hang out considerably i've got 18x10+20 with heaps of room could easily fit a +10 being 19s wouldnt make much difference other than the car will overall be higher.

mmm, cheers for that alex.

you mean heaps of room after cutting/rolling the guard lip? also what camber do you run.

iv considered the whole lifting it up aspect cos iv got adjustable. Definately something id prefer to do before throwing camber at it and consequently wrecking good tyres as well as my ability to get the power down...

ive got 18x10 +18's with 265/35 tyres. camber arms maxxed and rolled guards and the top of the wheel just sits inside. so you'll have to have you car raised abit but will still stick out. cops will pump u for it anyway.+22 would be a better fit to reduce the camber and have the wheels sitting in the guards a bit better.

Sounds abit extreme to me IMO. But yes they will fit. How they will look is another question. Very mexican.

I have 9.5 +25 on my R33, and they are not entirely in the guards. Thats with rolled and slightly pumped rears too.

yeah i decided against it.

Deciding piece was I saw a guy rock up to buy a part off me n he had 18x10+22 on his gtst which sat real mexican n realised its not my thing (especially when thowing in the cop bait factor).

cheers for all the info and perspectives people.

just need a GTR now so i can get those epic rims.... :)

what does fit nice involve? can you see the rims when looking from the back down the line of the body (as in are they sticking out form the arches mexican style?)

n hows the camber wear and traction too?

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
