Hey mate,

I have 19s on mine. They are 245/35/19. They fit fine and are apparently legal size on a 33. I was recommended against 265s since they might be that little bit too wide. The bloke i spoke to about it was not 100%, so they might fit.

Good luck! Let us know how they go...

Thanks for your help. I don't think it will be the actual rim size but the width might matter since your's are 245's.. what about 265?

oh i have standard shocks so not sure but if anyone else can helpp would be great!

thanks

They are tyre sizes you quoted not wheel sizes they will fit or not fit depending on the offset of your wheels

235 40 18 front 265 35 18 rear fit fine on mine but 255 35 17 on different wheels fouled the rear suspension.....depends entirely on your wheel offset

I am going to be purchasing some wheel and the size are:

Front : 235 35 18

Rear : 265 35 18

Can these wheels fit R33 GTST without rolling the guards?

I've got 18x8s (offset +38) all round with 235/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear and everything is a perfect fit. I'm actually a little annoyed that I didnt go the 265s.

i've got 17x10 inch rims at the back and they definitely fit. 17 x 9 inch at the front, also fit no probs. The rear just misses the caliper and also misses the guards. My guards have not been rolled.

As said above, 2xx is the tyre width, not the wheel width. I am currently running stretched 255 rubber at the back. Nice and firm tyre wall

thanks for all the reply and help guys. much appreciated. sorry for my noobness when it

comes to rims. had a look at this site:

http://www.driverstechnology.co.uk/Tyre_si...size_coding.htm

and was wondering wouldn't 265 rear on R33 GTST will scrape the guards? 35 is the profile if i am correct? ;):rofl:

it all depends on offset. You have to find a balance between scraping the brake caliper and the guard. Get one that fits properly, and 265 should fit easily. Like i said, i've got 10 " wheels. If i was not using stretched rubber, who knows what the recommended rubber is, 285? easily fits

legal once/if you get them engineered :D

Depends on the state the car is registered in though... Some allow you two wheel sizes, others only care about offset (and increase/decreasing the track width), etc. Check with your licensing authority.

thanks for the continual help guys. so I guess the wheels im gettng Front : 235 35 18

Rear : 265 35 18 will fit on a R33 GTST :D

thanks!

We don't seem to be connecting with you??? You STILL have not quoted the offsets on the wheels you'r getting....so....on the info you have actually given us your wheels MAY or MAY NOT fit!!! it depends entirely on what the offsets of those particular wheels are. :headspin:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
