Off topic, but i've been recommend to try this by stagefumer11:

"ok this is a easy fix you need to turn down you full lock stopers.

you will find on the lower control arms, on the end. is a adjustment screew when you can adjust the full lock stoppers. if you have a look you will see what i mean. Its a small bolt with a lock nut also. turn these in to turn the lock less.

DO both sides as you can stress you steering rack if they arnt even. Get it pretty close and you will be fine. Also put a layer of grease on to the rubbing points, as going over bumps on full lock can be quite embarrising"

Skyline model = HR31

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8F/9R"

Wheel offset = +30F/+32R

Tyre size = 235/40-F 255/45-R

Stud Patern= 114.3

Modifications to fit = lose the plastic inner guards. (also have 5 stud hubs which alter the offset out about 3mm)

Hey guys, I've got stockers w/225/50/16's. But I Bolted up my mates BBS rims this arvo, may buy them off him. . .

Skyline model = R33 Gts-t

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5"

Wheel offset = +40

Tyre size = 235/40-F 265/35-R

Stud Patern= 5 * 114.3

Modifications to fit = None yet, they seem to rub at full lock on the front, parking etc, and only clear the stock front brake calipers by ~ 2mm, haven't done enough driving on them yet. . .

Anyone see any problems with this size?

I'm surprised they fit at the back to be honest.

Thanks

Interstin... dads 33 has 235/40 wit 8' wide on front and 265/35 wit 9' wide on the rear with no problems at all, gaurds havnt been rolled either... So i cant see any problems? Maybe your offset is slightly different though!

Hey jazza08, they seem ok and only one of the fronts rubs (I only have one inner guard liner), I think the offset is actually the same as the standard wheels, cos they are marked '16*6.5JJR16 40'.

Speaking to another 'Line owner this evening he reckons he used to run ten inches out back . . . No mods. . . B)

Ive seen 265s on a 10' wide rim before in a car mag, never in real life. I doubt 275s would fit with everything standard?

If you take our ur guard liner (i believe our 33 still has them) that may help also! Nothin too much to worry about unless it rubs real hard of course :)

Hey guys,

I am looking at putting a set of 19x8.5" on the front, and 19x9.5" rears on a GTS-T R33... Is this possible with maybe only lippping, or would some more extensive mods need to be made? Is this all the info you would need to answer that question too, or does the offset play a major difference?

If anyone knows I would appreciate the info.

Cheers.

woah! 17X7? I think they were designe for a FWD car like a pulsar or something as even standard R32 GTR wheels are 8 inch wide, and most 17 inch wheels for 32 GTR are 9 inch or 9.5 inch. it must look quite strange with such narrow rims on it. actually from looking at the tyre size are you sure they are 7 inch wide? any pics?

haven't looked at this thread in a while...

hmm, maybe they are 17x9's then...they don't look thin and I don't actually know where I got 17x7 from :). I will try and get a measurement myself if I can.

Hey Cowie, you have Circular wheels :), wow!..... :)

Skyline model = R32 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +14

Tyre size = 245/40 All 4's

Modifications to fit = None. But if i lower it more then i might have to lip the guards

I have seen 17x8's on most 33's in this thread have offsets of 32-36. If a set of 17x8's with an offset of say +45 are fitted to an R33, they would sit further into the guard, right?

Yes but more importantly the spokes would probably not clear the brake calipers at the front of the 33s.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
