Hi fellas,

I recently came across an opportunity to buy off a mate a set of black Volk TE37's in 19x9.5+12 all round and plan to run on 275/30/19 tires.

I have heard contrasting views, some saying this offset looks best whereas some suggest 19x10.5+22 is the better, but various people seem to run the 19x9.5+12 more frequent. Can someone please share with me their experiences on a R33 GTR and best tire profile as noticed chunkier profiles look best on a R33 GTR.

It looks good on his R34 GTR, but not sure it will look good on my fatter R33? Just don't want to buy them and regret it!! Please help!! They seem to look ok on 350Z's??

Pictures would be great!!

Thanks.

R33/34 GTR.

19x10.5 +15 or + 12.

Other sizes will work. But size above in 18/19 is best IMO.

Will fill guards the most.

X9.5 +10-20 works as well but will sit in the guards. Noticeably.

best offset would be +12 or +15 but then again that all depends on the size available to you.

i wouldnt go for the 9.5 even tho they do have good offset. id hold out out for atleast 10" wide with the same offset. would look that little bit more aggressive

Thanks mate for the advice. If I were to go for the +9.5, would it still look ok?

Cheers

you could always just put some spacers behind them to push them out that bit more if you are realy worried about it.

if you used say a 12mm spacer that would basically make them 10" wide.

ive only ever had 10.5" wide on my gtr with the 3 sets of rims ive owned so i cant give personal advice on how it would look

So you think 19x9.5+12 with custom 12mm spacer plates would look tough as 19.10.5+12? surely with spacers, it would look just as tough as x10.5 in terms of width, right mate?

Thanks all.

19 x 9.5 +12 will just give you more lip and a tad more concave on the spokes, which will give a more aggressive look on you wheels.

19 x 10.5 +22 will give you better rear traction due to it being a inch wider of tyre but a less aggressive offset.

R33 GTR's have wide rear guards, preferably you run 19 x 10.5 +12 as the stock R33 GTR wheels are 17 x 9 +30 and the look tiny.

But if you got 19 x 10.5 +22, it should still look ok but won't fill out the guards as good as 19 x 10.5 +12.

19 x 10.5 +12 fills out the guards nicely.

Don't bother running spacers and get the correct offset to fill out the guards.

Is it possible to fit 19x11 +5 with 275/30/19 tires all around on a R33GTR with coil overs and standard brembo brakes, the wheels in mind are work Miester S1-3 with r type disk.

What offset is the above GTR running the car in question is the only GTR with miesters on it

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
