hi guys,

i intend to fix 18"x7.5jj to my r33 gts,but wondered if anyone here has done this b4.need to know what they look like if fixed to the car..any picture most welcome..tq

cheers

With an offset of +42 these wheels will sit inside the wheel arches a fair bit

Like barnoon says, spacers might be needed in order for the wheels to fill out the guards.

Personally, I'd be looking for something wider with a lower offset

i would have thought so too..perhaps fix something like this >>> 18 x 8.5 +30, 18 x 9.5 +38

thankz to barnoon n u for the suggestion..

Like Cass and barnoon have stated, that's a fair way off ideal. An offset of +42 is something you'd find on a FWD car, so aim for something around +25 too +35 depending on the width of the wheel.

There are heaps of offset calculators on different wheel websites. There are even iPhone/iPod and iPad apps for it.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
