Calling R33 Gtr Owners Need Help

[Adz2332]

Hey guys

Just need a bit of help.....

Firstly... what size rims are you running on your 33 gtr? width and offset? How flush is it??

Second anyone running 18x10 +18s??

[Jap_star]

Didn't we go through this a few months ago?

[Adz2332]

not that i know off??

I have bought a set of rims and they arent sitting the same as the exact same items on my old 33 GTR. I cant understand why... just need some comparisons.

And if anyone is running 18x10 +18 id love to come over and just see how they sit

Is the car lower? Different size tyres, maybe you need a wheel alignment

[Adz2332]

The car is lower... does that make a big differance??

Same exact tyres, even same brand! cos i like them....

Taking it into a place today see what they think.. but just cant work out why

Yea it sure can will change camber settings

[Adz2332]

Its going into a suspension place today to check it out for me, camber etc. But to the naked eye it doesnt seem to bad... i mean on my last GTR the rims sat around 3mm inside the gaurds. these sit a solid inch!

[On Edge]

same tyres?

[Adz2332]

yep same width even same down to thebrand

[On Edge]

then its almost certainly camber

[Adz2332]

fingers crossed it is...

the only other differance, even tho i dont know how it would change it, is one was running standard gtr suspension with lowered springs... this one has k sport coilovers?

[On Edge]

Ride height an spring rates change/ vary it

[Adz2332]

awaiting what the suspension shop has to say before i do anything

[Madaz]

ride height definately changes camber /thread

[Adz2332]

I may have found the problem. Has anyone ever heard of this. The place measured the offset and said it's around + mid to late 30s and not +18, even tho they are clearly marked +18?? This would explain a lot but I've never heard of this happening before? ? ?

Does anyone else have XD9s in this size?

Maybe they have had the mounting face machined down at some stage.

Make sure that they measured them to the tyre bead not the edge of the rim, 12 mm isn't much difference.

[Adz2332]

Yer I just got home and measured it myself. The rims right, they were wrong.

Back to square one....

Does anyone in Adelaide have a stock 33 Gtr that would allow me to test these rims front and back on?

Or better yet have a set of 18x10 + 18s on a 33 Gtr?

Really need help guys...

Take a photo mate. What is the difference? My rear is more cambered than the front due to the rear being lower.

[Adz2332]

I'll chuck up a photo tomorrow when I get to a computer. Cheets

[Madaz]
