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'.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
