I found it after I posted Ive gon through about 3/4 of it and nothing really suggest that 18x10 +12 will sit inside the guards of r33gtr. I'm working through it from newer to older posts. Someone did suggest that it might be 2mm outside the guards. ??? Still looking

So, seeing as I already gave you the answer I will do this.

If 18x10.5 +15 is a popular size for the gtr folk around here (maybe you should google pics of that setup before you ask a silly question), do you think a 18x10 +12 would sit closer or further from the hub? I suggest you google again before saying "I dont know, thats why I made this thread.

And for roadworthy they wont pass depending on state and dickness level of mechanic.

I'm new to all this mate to go easy ;) I'll have a guess and I would say 18x10 +12 would closer to the guard then a 18x10.5 +15. So was I right and feel free to make me feel stupid.

It should fit. I have +15 on my GTST and it touched the guards. Rolled them and fine. Sure its a little less offset but you have much wider guards.

Also use this calculator for change in speedo http://www.inawise.com/tyre-calculator/tyre-size-calculator.html

I made sure I calculated my tyres and wheels, with new config at 100km/h I'm doing 99.3km/h

I have to amend this as I didnt read correctly.

It would be closer to the hub than a 10.5 +15. FURTHER from the guard.

Are you sure? less +ve is equivalent to more -ve and means wheels stick out more.

I also need to correct something I wrote earlier. Not that I was wrong, just that it wasn't relevant to the thread because I forgot the OP was talking about a GTR.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
