9.5" +30 On Front Of 33 Gtst?

Hello all,

Ill be purchasing my new set of rims in the future for my R33 GTST.

18x9.5 +22 seems very popular for the 33 gtst and I know for sure that it is possible to fit a 265 tyre on the rear with that offset, however I am worried about the front as from what I gather it sits out a bit furthur than the rear.

So my question is, does anyone have any pictures or info regarding a +30 offset with a 9.5" rim on the FRONT of a 33 gtst?

If the +22 sticks out a bit, the 8mm difference with the +30 should keep it in a bit, but I am concerned it may foul on suspension or body parts etc.

Its also a bit strange that I have gone through the countless pages on the wheel fitment thread, and some peoples 9.5" +22 seems flush whilst others seems to hang out a bit. (on 33 gtst). One moment im sure +22 will be fine front and rear and now ive just seen some new photos and im unconvinced again.

DONT want to run stretchy as hell 225/235 tyres. I really wanna run Federal 595 265/35r18 all round.

I was looking into the same fitment for mine. Read a number of posts that the 9.5 +30 will touch the suspension at full lock. I guess you can drive around it, but it was enough to turn me away from the idea.

I ended up going 9 +20 front, and 10 +38 rear (XD9s), and although is good fitment with no hassle, sometimes wish I went with 9.5 +22 all round.

Also for what it's worth, I don't think that the 235 is that stretched on a 9.5. In fact I quite like the shape of the sidewall you get with that fitment.

Anyway, whatever you go with, make sure you post up pics in the fitment thread once done, so we can admire.

Zero chance of fitting 18x9.5 +22 with a 265/35r18 on the front.

Theres a bloke in the 33 thread who has done so with a gtst, which is what inspired me. But im thinking of just going 245 on the front and 265 rear anyway.

Also going to 9.5 +22 as it turns out some 9.5 +30 and higher fit but Varrstoens design does not in +30.

235/40 is the correct size, not 245/40, and they're cheaper.

9.5" +30 is normally said to hit the inside on the front. A RSR 265/35/18 on +22 would be DAMN tight on the rear I'd think it would hit without some decent neg camber.

I ran 18*9.5 all round and they'd scrape on the front with full lock, they ended up ripping out my inner guards too but not sure that would happen to yours..

hey Mark got any photos?

Man I want the new Work CR Kiwami but they only have 18x9.5 +20 (which is a little too much poke I reckon)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
