Hey guys im jst a new owner to a R33 Gtst S1.5 and need to know about the tire size rules,

need to ask whats the standard Size for this car and is 19" rims legal? coz it has them on and a lil' paranoid getting defected, also lookin for a turbo timer that sum1 has lyin around that would sell to me thanks.

-JAi-

anyone know if i'd be able to fit a 18x10 +38 on the back of a r32 gts-4 with a 245 tyre? without going to pshyco on the guard i'd be going an 18x9+30 on the front

i have 18x10 +22 all around on mine with 245s and doesnt scrub on anything, all i have done is a very basic lipping of the guard.

(might not be an r32 gts4 but it wouldnt be much different i would assume)

ull have to be careful, with a guard roll ull be fine as far as the guard goes, but on the inside u have ur HICAS toe rod ends/knuckle, now 10" +38 is enough to foul on it, the thing is, with 18" u can often get away with it as the larger barrel can actually clear it, but it depends from rim to rim.

this is what im talking about here, it's the knuckle which is closest to the camera:

well the wheel in question is a work xd9... I read somewhere that another member had these fitted in the same size to his gtst... But didn't mention anything about the hicas... Is there anyway to get rid of the hicas if it is a problem or should I just stick to 18x9 +30 all round?.... I just love the extra dish the 10" gives you :)... Also any problems with fitting 9 front and 10 rear for the attessa system? I hear mixed stories

i thought id add my 2 cents,

the bigg ass offset with wheels hanging out looks awesome, some of your rides are just mad, love it.

But if your car is gonna be your daily driver, esp on crappy aust roads (like the warrego highway) you need to stay a little bit sane and inside the guards(or at least a lipped guard), the amount of air you get in a 100km/h zone out here would munch either your tyres or your spine, depending on suspension and profile.

now the question, standard offset on a 33 GTST is +40? so some nice 18's x8-x9inch with +30 (maybe a little more at the rear) and the right tyres will work fine right??

bare in mind im definelty keeping the suspension standard untill such time as i move back to the city and can actually lower my car without ripping it a new one on the highway

The question of what wheel size fits what Skyline comes up so often I though this might be a good place to post your own wheel dimensions.

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model =

Wheel diameter =

Wheel width =

Wheel offset =

Tyre size =

Modifications to fit =

One of mine as an example;

Skyline model = R32GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = 35

Tyre size = 245/45/17

Modifications to fit = remove the front inner plastic guards, roll rear lip slightly.

:bunny: cheers :bunny:

Skyline model = R33 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width =10"

Wheel offset = +20

Tyre size =285

Modifications to fit = None

hey i have a r34 gtt 2001.can i fit +43 on the two 18x9 wheels; +45 on the other two 18x10 wheel.

a mate of mine has an r32 gts-t with 8 +32 on the front, and 9 +38 on the rear, and they sit pretty flush on the front and slightly out on the rear.

hey everyone

Looking to buy 18" work emotion XD9's

whats the best offset and width for an r32 gts-4?

thanks

a mate of mine has an r32 gts-t with 8 +32 on the front, and 9 +38 on the rear, and they sit pretty flush on the front and slightly out on the rear.

  • 3 weeks later...

Skyline model = r33 gtst

Wheel diameter = 18" volk racing SE37

Wheel width =8.5" front, 9.5" rear

Wheel offset = +36 front and rear

Tyre size = 235 front 265 rear

Modifications to fit = none. Back wheels are inline with the rear gaurds, fronts are inside the gaurds abit too much for my liking.

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = R32 GTST

Wheel diameter = 19"

Wheel width = 8.5 / 10.5

Wheel offset = 35 / 42

Tyre size = 235 / 245

Modifications to fit = Back guards rolled

Does anyone know if i could go 19x9.5 on the front with 20mm offset?

(will be going the front vented wide fenders) just wondering about the inside bit

Cheers

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
