Hello, so the title pretty much explains it. I know there is a lot of information about fitment on the net, but all I found was different opinions and no correct info as some say it will fit without problems, others say that fender rolling will be required.

I own a r33 gtst spec 1. No particular mods apart from final konnexion coilovers. I got a really good deal on some wheels which are 18x9.75 et20 all round. Was wondering would they fit on my r33 and what would be the widest tyres that would fit on them without fender rolling?

Thank you for your time!

I'm erring on the side of 'no' in terms of "will they fit without modification".

They are much closer to 'you need flares/gtr guards' to fit these comfortably spec if you want a huge meaty 275+ tyre on them etc. They probably could work if you went aggressive with very stretched tyres, and a lot of camber and rolled all the lips on the guards. It will compromise the car a fair bit in terms of actual grip.

I have a 34, but wheel fitment with regards to 33 and 34's is generally similar.

To be 100% sure, find out the difference between your current rims with a site like www.willtheyfit.com by putting the specs in, and go measure :D

 

Don't bother, try to get 9.5s if you can, up to a max of +20 and it will be "about right" but verging on too agggressive. You will probably need a slight fender roll with that. The worst thing is, you'll never be able to max out the tire sizes for your rim - this is the situation I'm in with rear 10j +20. I can get a 265 width (narrow-design) tire on there - forget CR-1s or AD08s - but this width would fit better on a 9.5.

9.75 is an odd size. If they're XXRs, just save your money.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
