R33 Gts Series 2 Offsets Wheel Sizes

[Spotamous]

hey guys, just wanting to find out if these will fit my car http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=150790658484&index=0&nav=WATCHING&nid=59062035108

im not really after the look how the wheels sit outside of the gaurds either, i think the offset is +30 and its non turbo so its only got 4 studs.

thanks .

18x9.5+30 will sit pretty flush with the guards they will both fit no issues!

[Spotamous]

thanks mate appreciated

I know 9.5 +30 on the fronts scrubs on the uca on 3/4 lock in gtst's but the rear will be fine

[jjman]

fronts will scrub n the rears will sit outside the guards unless ur running a bit of camber.

also rears will require the lips rolled or cut out to fit...

Depending on your height and tyre size if your car is low and your running wide tyres eg. 265 you will need to roll the guards but if its at standard height you wont have any problems

here is an example of 18x9.5+30 it sits nice and flush 245/40/18

cheers guys much appreciated, fronts rims are 8.5 so hopefully they wont scrub and my car is sitting pretty low at the monent tyres are just under the guards but it has coilovers so ill just jack it up abit.

How much camber are you running? I'm interested in this almost exact setup

[AngryRB]

you wont need camber on the back, mine is fine and the teins are lowered to there max on the back, but my tyres are 245/40 on the back,

fronts will rub on 3/4turn and inside of the wheels grates on the hub/strut, id go 9wide on front if doing it again.

id like to run 265 on back but not sure if it will fit though, my arches are rolled , i dont want to damage the panel by trying to arch it ..

anyone done the 265 on this riim?

[GotsWapan]

I'd go 8.5 up front I think if I went the rota grids on my GTST

Sorry mate that's not my car, I'm running 18x9.5+12, you wont need camber arms it will naturally camber in. If your looking at running +30 you will just need to roll your guards you can run 265s shouldn't have any issues as one of my mates is doing it.

If you go rota grids in 8.5" front and 9.5" rear, the concavity of the rims is quite different an looks odd IMO

[AngryRB]

9.5 on the front is not that practical, you either have the car sitting a bit high, or you have camber and with camber the front tyres wear out fast and obviously not as much contacting the road in general, but it looks the part and fills the arch nicely

Not sure what you mean by not practical? they are fine and in fact you have better handling when you have camber set to the front the only down side is camber wear on your tyres but that also happens to any setup if you don't go and have your wheel alignment done properly regardless of offset etc...

For your information you do not have to have the car sitting "high" i had my guards rolled and slightly pulled and i can dump my car on its ass without any issues, i have no scraping issues at all even with full lock. Its all in the guard work.

I trialed 18"8 +30 with a 25mm spacer and sat flush all round, don't remember what tyre size though, think 245 or 235

[Spotamous]

thanks for the help everyone this is what it looks like anyway $2200 later, sits flush all round and just got rear gaurds rolled, need to lower it a bit in the rear i reckon.

[Mitcho_7]

What size/offset did you go with? I'm thinking they are rota grid r's in 18x 9.5" +30 on the rear, but the fronts are heaps less concave, so are they 8.5s?

yeah I went with 18x8.5 on the front and 19x9.5 on the rear, and there both +30 Offset , the front is flush with the guards but the rear probly sits in about 5mm barely noticeable
