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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
