im currently looking for wheels for my s2 r33, i would like to put 18x9.5 on the front and 18x10.5 on the rear, i know ill have to roll the guards

but can it be done with out putting spacers in, and what would be the best offset for the front and rear, stock brakes but will eventually upgrade.

not too sure on this subject. oh and its being built for a circuit car not drifting.

thanks for the help

I've currently got 19x8.5 on front and rear with 245 tyres with standard suspension, they do scrub when taking a corner with bumps in it as expected but normal driving their all good, would not recommend anything wider for circuit with stock guards though.

i had 18*10 + 18 all around with 265's all around. Rolled guards and a bit of camber work on a 33gtst. Only slight scrubing on hard cornering ( at wakefield) due to the springs rates being too soft.

cheers mate ill give that a go.

I run 18x10.5 +22 rears with 235/45 and 18x9.5 +22 with 20 mm spacer and 225/45

Tires are stretched, fenders rolled and pulled. Looks absolutely bad ass, handles like poop

18x8 and 18x9 was my previous set up and rolled the fenders. That fit was good

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
