asking whether the offset is gonna be flush to the guards.. i dont mind the wheel size

imeant they will be too skinny.... they will not sit flush at all.

i run 17's on the front's of my car for street and all round for track.

nice fitment! how are the fronts? any scraping on lock etc?

also more pic please.

cheers rich

Will post up more pics (probably in the Post a pic of your R33 thread) in a few days when I take some new pics. Fronts aren't currently rolled and there is a bit of rubbing on the guard when turning, putting new suspension in now so will definitely need a roll afterwards.

was good advice true :whistling:

It was indeed! cheers.gif fronts didnt rub at first, and I was afraid on the day because the rear guards were done and f**ked the paint completely, although it was because of rust/bog from shoddy repairs, I just wouldn't have been able to take it if all 4 corners had wrecked paint.

But thanks wub.gif they look awesome!

Thanks Hamish, yep trial fit them yesterday and fronts did stick out about 25mm, will have to change to 235 and hopefully tyre will sit inside the guard.

How did these wheels turn out for you in the end?

I'm also looking at 17x9 +22s for my R33 GTS-T, but don't want to make a mistake with all that cash...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
