haha gotta pay top dollar for top quality !!

have a look at the work emotion series, still good quality & a fair bit cheaper than meisters.

just got myself a set of 18" XD9's which go on tomorrow ! :D

XD9's are sexy!

where's the cheapest place to buy em?

is yours deep dish? what offset?

pictures!!!!!

the thing is, i don't know what offset to use when selecting the wheels. i want something with standard brake caliper clearance, deep dish, 18", no rolling of guards,no tyres that stick out of arches, and no removing of wheel lining.

basically something that fits without modification.

these are the specs i tried plugging in nengun.

offset: 35

width: 8.5jj

18" high buff

then it gives my a box labelled "A". what do i put in that box?

is the price they quote on the site per wheel of for a set of four?

so damn confusing.:/

You enter how many wheels you want to buy, ie 4. NFI what the difference between an A & an O disk is, however.

The price is per wheel.

No it's how many of your nuts you want to trade for a set, no idea why it goes over two though, LOL !

got my wheels done :) powder coated, polished lip, and new tires.

now time for some lowering...or alot.

is it normal for a stock car with GTR wheels (235/45/17 tires) to touch the inner wheel well plastics a little while dropping down gutters (slowly) while steering??

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = R33 Series 1 GTS

Wheel Brand/Model = Koya Driftek

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5"

Wheel offset = +35 (Running F&R)

Tyre size = 235/40/r18 (Front) ... 235/45/r18 (Rear)

Modifications to fit = no mods, fit perfect with 10mm gap to guard at front and 5mm gap to guard at rear. No scraping or rubbing on front full lock or suspension flex at rear. Perfect size if u don't want to mod or roll guards etc.

Looks good mate. I myself also have a non turbo r33, except I'm thinking of running a set of 18" XXR 962's. Reckon it'll fit with 8.5" front and 9.5" back, both with +35 offset? not lowered yet btw

8.5's would fit perfect on front.. 9.5's on rears u may hav to roll the guards. I think if u get a smaller offset they may fit, but the whole offset thing still confuses me, I'm probs not the best person to ask lol, check ur nearest decent tyre/wheel shop.. Theyl be able to help.

Not trying to open a can of worms, but I've been reading through this thread and some laws regarding wheel changes, and it occurs to me that I'm probably now running a track width increase that is now illegal (based on an offset calculator, I'd judge 54mm rear, and 46mm front).

Has anyone run into any issues with their increased track with passing through their relevant vehicle regulatory bodies (RTA/Regency/etc), or with insurance claims?

every law needs to be interpreted :pirate: have you tried basing those measurement comparisons on a GTR wheel of your model?

and unless your rolling on monster truck wheels, or Miles out of the guards i don't think you will get hassled anyways. as for insurance, same goes i guess. but in the end it all depends on who your assessor is, and what sort of a mood he is in that day.

*and isnt the track still just measured from the hubs?

R34 GT-T rim is 17x7.5+40

Nismo LMGT4 I have are 18x8.5+30 & 18x9.5+38. They're sitting pretty much on the guards at the front and slightly out at the rear. It's enough to worry about cops when I live in Adelaide (land of the defect). Anyway --

Based on offset calculator:

front is 3mm less clearance inner & outer extend 23mm

rear is 23mm less clearance inner & outer extend 27mm

For R34 GTR (18x9+30), offset calculator:

front/rear is 9mm less clearance inner & outer extend 29mm

So yeah, going from 7.5 to 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. As for track, my understanding is it's center of wheel to center of wheel on that axle, but I can't find anything authoritative about it. Would love peoples input/thoughts/experiences :)

Skyline model = R33 Series 2 GTST

Wheel Brand/Model = Rota Grids

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5 front and rear

Wheel offset = +30 (Running F&R)

Tyre size = 245/45/r18 (Front) ... 245/45/r18 (Rear)

Modifications to fit = Rolled front and rear

Rears are perfect, front rub slightly on inner mould with 3/4 lock, have lowered coilovers sitting slightly above tyre

  • 2 weeks later...

Can anyone give a definitive answer on inner clearance on a 33 gts-t, with 18x9.5 +30 with a 235 tyre?

Have read the r34 gtr wheels are a bit close as is and these will sit 6mm further in.

Would just go the 18x9.5 +22, but am trying not to go nuts with poke.

cheers,

Jess

Edit: apologies, just saw above, how low is your car? will it scrub the inner if you dropped further?

Edited by JayTay

I have no mods to the height of the car ,stock suspension.

Nah not you mate, i meant SilverS2, info on his setup would probably help both of us, though if you put 9.5's on with no suspension work your car will look like shit.

+22 on a 9.5 will clear the coilovers at the front from what ive stuck in the calculators, but will have some serious poke without camber, lowness, roll/flare and most likely 225's.

Should be sweet at the rear with just a rolled guard. I think it works out to be pretty close to a 10" wide +18 in terms of fitment.

If anyone knows the final word on inner clearance it would be awesome if you could post it up, pictures would be good as well.

cheers,

Jess

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
