Hi guys,

I'm looking at some Tri spoke rims for my r33 gts-t. They're being sold without tyres. Basically, these are the specs:

17x9 20+ fronts

17x9 35+ rears

I know little about offset etc, but will these wheels suit my 33? Please bear in mind that the car is lowered slightly, but I do with to go lower down the track with coilovers etc.

front perfect rear to sunken, but they are tri spoke so i wouldnt buy them there ugly as.. all sorts of fail.

Here's my wussy fitments lol

Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8 front / 9 rear

Wheel offset = +35 front / +38 rear

Tyre size = 235/45 front / 245/40 rear

Modifications to fit = None, straight bolt up. Very safe fit

front perfect rear to sunken, but they are tri spoke so i wouldnt buy them there ugly as.. all sorts of fail.

I really like Tri Spokes, i've always had a thing for them, so they suit me fine. You mention that the rears will be too sunken? Will they look noticeable shite? Or is it something that could be compensated for with wider tyres etc? Basically, i'm just worried that they will look out of place given that the offset is rather different between front and rear : ( Can anyone explain? As i'm not very good at this business.

It will look wierd. It's 15mm different. A 15mm spacer for the rear will fix it up easily.

Are the tri spokes super advans?

Aaah damn it. Oh well, i'm walking away from that transaction then. FYI the rims are Zeldas. Some people will hate them, but I really liked them.

Sometimes you just have to look at it and say, 'it wasn't meant to be'.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
