Hey guys i have an R33 and i ordered a set of rims 18x9.5+22 and they sent me 18x9.5+12 i have the option to swap them over to the offset i ordered or keep these ones... what would you guys do? iv been going back and forth and i don't know what to do.

The plan was to run 18x9.5+22 with 235/40/18 and roll the guards. I do not want the flare my guards anyone running this offset can help me out? The look i want is for the rims to stick out just enough to have a bit of stance.

my car sits approx approximately 10cm off the ground (can just fit a coke can under the side skirts) i do not have camber arms but i do have aftermarket shocks and springs non adjustable.

The rims where test fitted on the front passenger side with bone stock guards.

Excuse the messy garage in the process of cleaning it all up hahah

LOL you guys are not helping one bit wanted someone to say swap them seems like everyone is for phat stance.

If I do decide to keep them can someone tell me what I'll need to do to my guards ? Roll / pull? Will I need camber arms ? Do I need to lower my car further ? Any info would help thanks guys.

Even pics of ppl with the same offset will do justice to help me make a decision

Keep it legal and keep it in the guards, no point looking all "Stanced" if your going to get defected everytime you cruise...

I want to go 9.5 all round too as it looks so much better and is practical but until i can afford to roll guards etc ill just keep the staggered 8.5 and 9.5 arrangement...

i know bugger all about offsets, but cops seem to know a thing or two about it :P

I have decided to keep them =) But... does anyone have pictures of this offset on there GTST?

@ HEKT1K hahah i have already spoken to Hamish and i got pics of his it looks great, but id like to see few other r33 with same offset just to have a better idea of how they sit.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
