yeah 18s will fit fine... just make sure the offset is right.

the one im selling has 18x10s on the rear with 235s stretched over them :D and they have a huge spacer on em.

but of course the guards are rolled and the wheels have neg camber so that helps i spose :) altho without the spacers they might fit anyway.

If you want to adjust you neg camber to accomodate some bigger wheels I have organised a group buy of Adjustable Rear Upper Links for $225 for a set. Im putting some on my car so I can eventually have white powder coated R33 GTR wheels in nice n tight :D ooo yeah baby...

+40 offset is fine dude, that's more like FF car offsets. remember people, the smaller the number is for the offset, the more the rim sticks out. so very few cars can have 0 offset without flares. only thing is +40mm offset wont clear bigger brake calipers, but at least you can have a 8 or 9 inch wheel under standard guards...try go for +35 or less for 8 inch wheels to give that flush look :D

Sorry to resurrect this thread,

but I'm once again buying new rims...

I won't say what, all I'll say is this...

Dual PCD : 4x114.3 & 5x114.3

Front : 225/40/18 18x8J, offset 23

Rear : 245/35/18 18x9J, offset 35

Obviously the PCD is correct, (duh)

the rears are fine I'm sure, but I do query the fronts, 8" wide and 23 offset? can anyone tell me how that would turn out?

...so I won't catch superAIDS if I put 8inch wide +23 offset? with stock front guards? they are slightly lipped though, by saying lipped i mean i have tucked the lip up on the inside of the guard...

...I'm excited about this, are you?

My Cefiro has 17x8 with 225 on the front and 265 on the rear. I think the offset is +41 [but I may be wrong... it's been a while since I got them and I'm not entirely sure]. I'm running R33 brakes all around and have loads of clearance without resorting to using spacers.

The fronts sit nicely in the guard and no clearance issues. The rears do stick out quick a lot... I have adjustable camber kit on the back and am running quite a lot of camber on there, and even so the wheels do stick out about half an inch at the top. I had to lift up the coilovers to nearly maximum height to give enough clearance and stop scuffing when the car bottoms out.

Will post a pic up soon as I get my car back from the autoelectrician...

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
