Does anyone have 19 inch wheels on their GTST R33?????

I am currently deciding weather or not to get 19 or 18 inch by 8 inch wide wheels and want to know if they will fit under the guards????

Also does anyone know if you can engineer(in NSW) 19 inch wheels on a GTST R33???

Any comments?????

Thanks

Brendan

20's on a 33 gtst will not fit, you would have to modify the controll arms, etc.

I have 19's on mine, the tyes rub on the gaurd liners but not the gaurds. Be prepared to loose a little low end torque and some preformance, due to the bigger rolling diameter and heavier weight. On the up side, the gaurds are NICELY filled and the car looks lower than it actually is.

If i was to make a choice again, with my experiences with 19's, i would honestly go 18x8 at the front and 18x9 on the rears. Just less hassles and better performance.

PS: my wheels are 19x8 all round with f:245/35/19 and r:275/30/19

pps: the only reason track guys use 17's instead of 18's is purely a financial issue when buying rubber. I also have a track set of 17's wheel for the track :)

i had this choice when i was choosing diameter. I eventually went with 18 because of 1) price - tyres were expensive on 19's and 2) performance - i didnt want to comprise it for looks. My rims are f)18x8.5 r)18x9.5 - rears are filled perfectly. There is no hassle with camber/control arms scrubbing and if you want to make it look good than all that is needed is lowering.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
