Do you know the offset of your current rims? If they are the ones in your sig, I'd say they will be about the same as the ones you want to buy. Do you have coilovers?

I dunno wat they r, ill have to take wheel off tomorrow n check.. No coilovers only damper adjustable shocks.

i cant see an issue as the offset is quite high so it should sit well within your guard i dont have a 32 though.. whats the current wheel offset u have?

you an always go a smaller tyre OR roll your guards it wont effect ur paint/body work and will give you more clearance if u want bigger tyres.

I have to check in the morning what my current offset is.. Nah its not that im worried about having 2 roll guards, id do that with ease.. im worried the wheels r gonna sit too far into the guard n look mega gay. lol

Found some secondhand 18" driftek for sale

Front: 18x8.5 +35 multi stud 4 or 5 hole 114.3 PCD  225/40/18

Rear: 18x9.5 +18 multi stud 4 or 5 hole 114.3 PCD 245/40/18

I know the fronts should be fine for a r33 gtst but what about the rears? An offset like that is more suited for a gtr I thought. What would be required for them to fit a r33 gtst?

fronts will sit in a long way compared to the rears... my guess is they came off a car with bolt on spacers for the fronts

to fit the rears you will need to flare the guards (you could also just lip them and use heaps of camber and stretch a 225/40

nah rear will fit easy with a roll joey..

front will look a bit crap should be ok for brakes cos of hte rim design but it wouldnt be my first choice but u are limited drifteks only have 2 options

sexual 32 i'd stay away from anything over +25 personally that way you will get pretty close to flush fitment and if you go 18s you can go lower fora nicer stance which it sounds like thats your aim..

those offsets are pretty conservative. My main concern is staying away from spacers and stretching/camber although I am fine with rolling

sorry i missed this.

lower offset means stick out more.

so conservative as your mention +30 or higher will be very sunken causing you to need spacers.

you will find you can easily fit 9.5" + 18 with a roll

been searching this whole thread, so many opinions.

r33 gtst.

looking for 18 or 19" wheel. been looking at volks.

whats a good offset that wont scrub? i dont want crazy look with a wheel halfway poking out. nice and flush-ish. but has to look faat.

reccomendations?

a bit contradicting u want fat but no poke..

im gonna guess that you'll be prepared to roll you guards.

if so i'd suggest 18x9 +20 front and 18x10 + 18 - +25 depending how much camber or what tyres your gonna run etc.

others might have different opinion but specs similar to that will give you a nice look, but depends on ur ride hieght to

hey alex, on that topic, i just ordered my new rims for my 33, 18x9 + 20 and 18x10 +18 (rear) im gonna run a 235x40x18 tire on the rear, how much camber do you reckon ill need to get some hellaflushness happening? guards are already rolled flat...

Skyline model = R32 GT-R

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 10"

Wheel offset = +13

Tyre size = 245/40

Modifications to fit = Stiff coilovers, bit of camber, slight stretch on the tyre.

Sits tuff as nails :D

Skyline model = R34 Gtt sedan

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +15 all round

Tyre size = 235/40

Modifications to fit = Bilstein shocks (soon to be coilovers) and slight stretch on the tyre.

Got some rotas, Craziest offset I've ever fitted.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • 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
