Hey guys,

Had a bit of a look on the forum and I did see the wheel fitment thread, however no one was running/I didn't go through enough pages, to see the fitment I was looking at getting for the car I have.

Does anyone have pictures of 18x9.5 +38 WITHOUT Spacers on an R33 GTST?

Looking to see fitment on both Front & Rear. Really want Enkei RPF1's but I feel like the 18x9.5 +15 will be poke-city...

Then again, I feel like 18x9.5 +38 will sit too far in -_-

Points if they are RPF1 but any 18x9.5 +38 rim will do.

Cheers! & if there is any thread that already has this, please link me to it and I'll take this down!

I had 18x 9.5 +30 with rolled guards and had to go 245's all around so i'm guessing + 15 will need some camber adjustments and similar tyre width, GTR spec is 18 x 9.0 +30 which is like the bar as far as a good snug fitment.. beyond that means skinny tyres id say.. but i havnt explored it like the guys on the wheel/tyre thread, the +38 can be done though with 265's as far as ive seen and 10inch wide ..

So you think I could fit:

Front - 18x9.5 +38

Rear - 18x10 +38

And have them inside the guards with good rubber? I don't want it to sit too far inside the guards but I also don't want poke-city -_-

I have rolled guards on a 34 and a slight pull which is considered to have about the same as a 33 (generally speaking, i.e y ou will also need roll and a pull)

I have 9.5 at the front with +27 and it is perfect. So if you want extended studs and a 10mm spacer this will clear just fine. I have 265's all round but the front can be made to fit, but I think you'll be hitting suspension components stock with that fitment.

In short, doing my maths with my own car leads me to believe you absolutely will need a spacer. Yes, I too wish the RPF1 had a decent offset for GTT/GTST owners in 9.5.

Or even 9+22. This size is also perfect but only comes in 17....

Can almost guarantee that 18 x 9.5 +38 will rub on the cast iron knuckle/strut thing (cant remember the name of it for the life of me) on full lock up front, My 18x9.5 +35 (not rpf01s though) required spacers to sit flush and to avoid inside of the rim hitting the cast strut on full lock.. The only real options for decent fitment with the sizes in that chart you have there is 18x9 +35 or 18x8.5 +30 for the front and 18x10 +38 or 18x9.5 +38 for the rear..

Old as thread but what were thoughts about 18x9.5 + 15? Will these poke alot? Obv rolled guards and camber adjustment

Will fit with camber and max 235 tyre size depending on how low you are.

I recently bought 18x9.5 +38 rpf1s for my r34. Just done a test fit front and rear. Rears fit nice. Front hit the brake caliper. This was fitting the rim without a tyre on. Looks like you can get away with 10mm spacer to clear the brakes. Not sure what will happen once I put the tyres on if it’s going to hit anything else on lock 

The 18x9 + 35 exist for this reason. - Though for my calcs these will hit the uprights. I have 18x9 +30 and I'm pretty sure I don't have 5mm to spare... more like... 2mm...

9.5+38 is an obvious no, and would slam into the uprights and I'm very suprised that the caliper is the only problem!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
