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?

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
