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.

    • If by axles you mean driveshafts, they're supposed to have play in them. They are not hard to recondition, it's just pulling apart the cv's, cleaning them and regreasing, fit new boots. I've only rebuilt one set and there was fk-all wear in them, still running just fine 8 years later.
    • Note, the aluminium bit that screws in the end that you have to remove to dismantle the rack is single use as it's punch-marked, it will strip when you unscrew it, and then you have to flatten the notch in the steel rack body, screw in a new aluminium end when rebuilding, then punch-mark it again once assembled. it is also 'somewhat tricky' to refit the rack>steering wheel linkage gear as it needs to be set to the right preloads etc. A rebuild is probably something that's better just given to a steering shop for a couple of hundred, unless you're mad-keen to do it yourself. 
    • Do you have the workshop Manuel? Sorry that's a Spanish waiter...I mean, manual? Some relevant pages>
    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
