Should have checked that before you bought them! Have a read in the suspension section - there is a heap of info. Also Google "what is offset" and "how to measure offset".

Personally I would think the diameter is too much - 20in wheels dictate that you have extremely low profile tyres which will detract from ride comfort and give little protection to the rims.

Also you need 255 on the front and 285 on the rears - and when you find out what they are going to cost please do the decent thing and sell the rims and buy some better suited ones rather than buy cheap and nasty tyres that are too small and stretch them on like some do.

Ended up buying them. 245 and 275 for a stretched look. was gonna get a 245 and 285 but then I thought maybe stretched look would look better. Also ended up getting reasonable tyres I think. Falken 452? But enough said on the stretched tyres, theres zero protection on the lip of my rim therefore if I were to hit a curb, the rims will be the first to be impacted. :( But I would change the rear to 285 next time when its due for a change. 245 for the front is pretty alright. It doesnt look too stretched. The tyre shop people recommended me with 275 for the rears as well because they said its a more common tyre and the stretched look would look good. Think it looks pretty alright. Just worried about my rims and my driving now. Haha. Gotta be extra careful. :)

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
