The car in the picture you attached is 18x10.5 (+15) w/235/40 tire in the rear, and 17×9.5 (-2 (20mm adapter)) up front w/215/45 Bridgestone Potenza tires

sorry to hyjack, But what rubber would i need to fit over a set of Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm are 225/45-18 my only option?

235/40/18 is the correct size both rim width and rolling diameter. Plus it's a common size = cheap.

R33 GTR rims with 255/40 17.

This is good.

255's? Even 245's look too large on a 9.

245/40R17 is too short and 245/45R17 is too tall IMO, why would you run a 245?

I'd say 225/40R18. Will sit on the 8" wide rim marginally better and should be closer to the rolling circumference of a 225/50R16 and a 205/55R16 tyre which is O.E on an R33 GTS-T

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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 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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      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.
