Veilside Rims On My R33

[nafan]

i had these Veilside andrew racing rims, i brought it of my mate who was letting it go cheap before he sold his car. Its 18x11 the

tyre size is 285/30/R18 and the offset is +18 ( thats if i measured it right :S )

The previous owner had these rims fitted on his toyots supra.

Its 4 n 5 studed whichs makes it suitable for my n/a R33.

I tried it on my R33 just for fun, and i was surprised by how nicely it fitted.

The brakes cleared , it bolted up nicely everthing else looked fine, only problem was is that the springs was rubbing the end of the tyre

by just a little tiny bit.

Apart from getting wider fenders, would wheel spacers be the only thing i need to clear the springs and make the wheel fit?

Also is there any particular brand of wheel spacers i shuld be looking for on the market (dont want cheap dody ones ).

Another important question, is there anything that could go wrong with me having these rims put on my R33, like affect parts of the car when driving etc etc....

i got picture below with the rims bolted on, i couldnt drop the car all the way down because it was rubbing the springs, but you shuld get the picture from looking at it.

damn , that offset is crazy. big word DEFECT!!!!! you might get away with a 5/6mm spacer , if it was to work. other wise youll need a hubcentric spacer for arguments sake. but i wouldnt recomend as it sits way to far out as it is. just asking for trouble. get wheels with the propper offset and fitment . im guessing if your cars lowered the camber will possibly make it worse aswell.

did you end up putting them on your car?

Is it only a pair? I think the offset might be higher than that because Toyota generally can't take low offsets. Bit of camber and a smaller tire on there and that'll be mint.

Dude it's already sticking out too far, you'd be mad to put spacers on it without some serious guard work etc. How badly is it rubbing? Drop to a 265 tyre, that might fix it
