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.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
