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.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
