From looking at your pics I would say it would scrub alot, on a hard corner with good road tyres my car will squat down about 30 - 40mm or more, going from my pics that is.

Im running R33 GTR rims though with 255/40 17 rubber which fit nice inside the guards with only a guard roll.

If you want to keep them I would assume you would need to cut away the guards and fit some wheel flairs/wide body kit.

I also beleive that "wheel poke" is frowned on at track days by the scruits, Im under the impression that the wheels must fit inside the guards.

It will squat but you've also got to remember it will camber in, there's only really one way to find out op. Go for a drive!

There is zero way you will get "camber in" of anywhere near an inch on suspension squat.

swap the rims, you will need a guard flare, and 34gtt guards are fkn hard to flare.

its more trouble than its worth, and you will more than likely get the price you paid for the wheels if you sold them now.

as said above, its whether you want good track(practical) wheels, or the stance side of things..

cant have both.

Points taken.

Im just fishing for reasons why they wont work, and how they can work.

Im obviously inexperienced, and im happy to swap them for functional wheels.

If anyone is interested or knows a potential buyer, they'll be in the for sale section.

Tootles.

If you plan to have dedicated track rims then biggest is not necessarily best. I have 17 x 9 TE37s on my car but for the track Ihave some 17 x 8.5in rims which are the ideal size for the ex NZV8 slicks that I use because they are far better than the semi-slicks I ran before (mind you I have awd).

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
