hi guys ,

im looking at purchasing the following in 19's for my r33 gtst . just wondering if any one has fitted anything similar in 19 ,iv looked around on sau and google to try find as much info but its limited. im just wondering will 19s be acceptable or is 18s better, im also after an agressive fitment , any recomendations with offset etc as i think they have a few different sets going around on ebay . any info would be appreciated

go 18s, im running rota grids 17*9 on front +5offset plus 25mm extended LCA so prob be around -10 to -15 and 17*9.5 on rear +12 front and rear guards have been pumped out so depending what guardwork you want will determine what offset you get.

thanks for the reply.

do you think 19s will be too big , i was thinking 18s but i thought i want something bigger as iv never had 19s on any of my cars. do you think i should order 9.5 all around , or go 9.5 and 10 ? i was thinking if i got 9.5 all around , i could always use spacers later if i wanted more or an agressive fit

do you think 19s will be too big

Yes

i could always use spacers later if i wanted more or an agressive fit

Buy wheels that fit correctly the first time

... and don't buy Rotas :thumbsup:

I say go 18s because in my opinion on r33 guards 18s are the biggest id go and anything bigger doesnt suit it but up to your personal preference. Id go staggered 9.5 front and 10 on the rear itll look good.

And what wrong with rotas? just one of those people that hears a story about someone saying there shit and they brake so you just keep spreading it? I know alot of people using the rims and have no problems with them. Not everyone can justify spending 3-4k on jap rims when you can spend that money on something else more important.

boostn0199 - thanks for the postive comment , yes i agree 3- 4k on wheels is unjustifiable in my eyes . so would this be the correct offset to suit front 9.5 +20 , and rear 10 +10

iv been a bit apprehensive about buying them until i know the right fitment , iv never really sourced wheels my self other then going to a tyre place , i think the rotas look good and bang for buck

The fronts will need a rolled at that offset and maybe tiny flare but probably should get away but rears will need a roll and flare. The way I ,measured to get the rims perfect were basically just played around with old rims and spacers and washers to simulate the new rims specs and see how they sit.

If you know what your current wheels on the car are you can use this to give you an idea how much more they will stick out.

I went 9.5+30 for rear & 8.5+30 for my fronts on my R34 & they just sit in the guards.

did you end up getting these? I'm looking at the same wheels now but I'm worried about them clearing the brakes, they would be getting posted from the other side of australia so i don't want to have to pay postage if i have to send them back

Everyone always talks about sizes and offsets but the amount of camber you run is just as important for fitment.

How much negative camber are you running and wheel & tire size? You're a GTST right?

About 1.5 degrees. I like to keep plenty of rubber on the road. I have 19 x 9.5 with higher offset (+35, maybe, unsure) Buddy Club P1's. I'm not much for tight fittment though.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
