Hey guys,

Have narrowed my choice of rims down to two (for my 32 gts-t):

1. F: 18x8.5 +22

R: 18x9.5 +22

2. F: 18x9.5 +18

R: 18x9.5 +18

I realize the second option is quite aggressive, especially for a gts-t front, and would probably require lot of camber and stretching.

Thoughts? Opinions? All welcome...Thanks

Brake clearance, depend on rim design - what rims are you getting btw?

You'd need to run 245/40 tyres and roll the guards for sure. And maybe dial some camber for good measure.

I'd go for 2nd option if you don't mind doing the work required to fit. It'll look tough kinda reminded me of Abu's old R32 GTST.

1st option seems to be safe.

Really, it's up to you as in how prepared you are to make it fit.

Brake clearance will depend on the wheels design mostly, not offset.

They will hang out of your guards roughly 10-15mm so yes depending on how low you go you'll wanna roll and maybe flare your guards depeding on tyre width.

Would a 19x10.5 + 12 all round, be suited better ?

What do you guys recommend ?

*edit* also what tyres all round ? 245, 255 ?

Edited by KISIN

TE37 have plenty of room to fit big brakes especially 19" diameter rims.

19x10.5 +12 is better suited for 33 GT-R.

As for tyres, 265/35 or 275/35, 33 GTR have plenty of room under the guards, maybe a minor guard lipping would suffice but once again it's up to tyres style.

+12 is perfect, I've got 10" +12s, sits maybe 2mm out of the guards.

Will have a chunky-ish kit put on so im worried they will look sunk in the guards...but i think it should be spot on then with 19x10.5 +12 and 275's....

thanks guys!!

r33 1998

20 inch

8.5 wide

35 offset

225 front 245 rear

look nice big 20s but everyday driving car being lowered almost 2 inches had to roll guards and remove innner plastic

you really feel the bumps and really have to watch out for pot holes .19s or smaller are probably better for everyday but something always have to be compromised looks or performance.

  • 3 weeks later...

Skyline model = R31 Aus Spec

Wheel diameter = 18in

Wheel width = 7.5in

Wheel Offset = 40

Tyre size = 225/40

Modifications to fit = 5mm Spaces On Front to clear Strut/Spring Plate, 30mm bolt ons for the rear ONLY for looks.

Looking at putting

F - 19x8 - 55 Offset

R - 19x10 - 37.5 Offset

Recon these will fit?

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
