Wheel size/offset for R33 GTS-T

Hi guys,

I know there are a lot of posts about offsets and wheel sizes, but I'm new here and haven't found anything about R33's with the following dimensions:

- 18 x 9 +20 offset (front)

- 18 x 10 +20 offset (rear)

My car is currently sitting on stock suspension. Just wondering if I will need to roll/pump up the guards to fit them (I'm mostly concerned with the rears).

Thanks in advance everyone!

I run 18x9.5 +20 on all 4 corners, front and rear have rolled fenders with no pull at all and I consider this the perfect agressive fitment for a ecr33. 18x10 on the rear will give you not even a 1/4 inch more poke inside and outside of your wheel so I dont see it being a issue! I do have aftermarket suspension but it is not very low.

Don't forget tyres and camber guys...plays a big part in whether the guards will get rubbed going over bumps or when turning the wheel full lock.

I run 18x9+32 all four and had to roll guards. With 235/40 front, 265/35 rear, zero camber, lowered about 10cm off the ground, rolled guards...only scraped the guard liners on full lock so I took them out. With 245/40 all round now I get no scrapes anywhere. So I would say anything equally or more aggressive than I'm running, yes roll guards. Whether you need to flare or not will depend on camber and tyres and ride height and soft/firm suspension.

    • So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4
    • Haha wow, yes they do! Will sort tomorrow.
    • Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info! 
    • As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
