Hi Guys,

i know there is a lot of questions regarding offsets and wheel sizes for skylines, but i'm a newbie and haven't found any r33 gtst with the dimensions below

18x8" offset +40 front

18x9" offset +40 rear

my car is lowered 30mm with king springs, will they fit and will i have to do anything to the guards??

....It will look fine

But If you wanna be one of these guys that spend a fortune to get the flush look, even though it provides no great performance benefits,then go for it.

EDIT..i do hope your not running standard shocks with those springs..If not you should spend your money on some good quality shocks before worrying about different wheel offsets.

need wider dude....

+40 will look like a bag of dicks

how do you know what a bag of dicks looks like??

Arent you meant o be on some cruise anyway.. :P

It may not look the greatest but it will still look better than most and i think a good quality set of shocks should be of higher priority if they are not done already..Crappy shocks with hard springs and no tyre sidewall = a pretty crappy and unsafe ride

Why put all this pressure on these kids to make their car look a certain way then grumble when they get pulled over and defected because they spend more money trying to look cool rather than actually enhancing their vehicles performance.

EDIT anyway if your that concerned just stick some spacers on them..

What fortune is needed to get the flush look?

i know there is no real standard as everyone like different looks and stuff but thats nice i think.... lol no spacers

and only $850 a few weeks ago on here with tyres..

but as Arthur T3 said just stick spacers in your ones...

Thanks for the feedback guys.. I have replaced the king springs with Tein coilovers just today and the wheel dimensions I put on earlier were for a set of bbs lm replicas.. Does any1 know where I can get a set of lm replicas that will sit more flush?

VarrsToen in the US make BBS LM reps, but they will sit more poke than flush without rolling/flaring/pumping (19x9.5/10.5+0)

18x9+32 all round. Ran fine without modifying the guards. Only time I got scrapage was on bumpy corners...but a guard roll fixed that, and it's completely related to how low/high your car is. But yeah, as Hamish said...you'll be unhappy with the looks after a while, if you don't get offset and width right straight up. Mine look okay, but I'm now trading my rears for 9.5...will make things look even better without the need for guard flaring.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
