Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Hi guys, thinking of getting some wheels for my r33 gtst off one of the traders. Been reading the thread but still wanted opinions from some of the more experienced members. I was looking at getting the following specs:

18 x 9 +15 for the fronts

18 x10 +15 for the rears

Looking at running 235s for the front and possibly anything above 235s for the rear. I will be purchasing camber arms and rolling/ flaring my guards as necessary. My questions are:

- how agressive is this fitment? I want to achieve the wide stance without overly sacrificing the life of my tyres. I do understand that camber will come into play, but I would like to avoid having to change my tyres every month just to achieve a particular look

- would 235s at the rear be sacrificing traction? If so, what would be a better recommendation? As I said I'm willing to roll/flare and purchase camber arms, so what combination would be best for the rear

Oh and I forgot to mention that I will be purchasing some coilovers also, but won't be lowering the car to a ridiculous height since I have a driveway I have to get in and out of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

id be keen to see the results of that combo, thats an inch wider than mine on the back, i dont think you want too much more camber on the back, its got enough already

it would be awesome round a track though.

Mate do you have any pictures of how your car sits? I'd like to have a visual just so I have a benchmark to compare against. And what did you mean about the camber in the back?

Just took the plunge and bought myself some Ame Circlar Spec R in 18x9 +15 and 18x10 +15 from one of the traders (Autotechnik). I'll post up some pics when all the work is done. Probably in a couple of months. :)

you'll need alot of camber in the rear, and the front on stock guards will fit with a roll but will have to stretch

tyre life wont be good at all.

should have pics of my 9.5+13 and 10+9 end of next week.

Awesome, looking forward to the pics. Also I spoke to PhilB (from this site and JDMST forums) and he said that he ran similar specs and for the rear, with a bit of rolling and a flare/pull he was able to minimise the amount of camber that had to be run. So fingers crossed I suppose. And luckily for me the skyline isn't a daily driver so hopefully that will minimise tyre wear. :)

My car for example. Previous wheel: (f) 17x9.5 +0 and ® 18x10.5 +15 lots of camber on the front, something like -4 and stretched tyres all round

Awesome, thanks for the photo blags. Car looks awesome!

;)

pretty sure 10+15 will need fair bit of camber if you are only rolling, my camber arms are on full for the 10+20

So alex, your guards were just rolled? I'll be getting mine pulled and/or flared at the rear so hopefully this will allow me to run less camber. So what is the maximum camber setting at the rear for an r33 (in degrees)?

Anyone fitted 18 x 10 + 15 on there 32 gtr? any photos? modifications required?

was thinking of putting 255's or do you guys reckon definately 265's.

Cheers,

Thanks

did u end up fitting the 18x10 +15 rims, got pics or comments on the fit?

Thanks for input earlier guys, ended up getting the 18x10's with +22

So next question i have is tyres

Obviously there are so many to choose from but ones i'm looking at are Toyo's flagship T1 Sport tyres

Sizes i was considering were either 265/35, 275/35 or 285/35

I'm kinda leaning towards 275 at moment

Anyone know if i'll have any clearance problems if i choose the 275 or 285 options?

any updates? pics?

im looking at 18x10 +15 on R32 R

I'm running 18x10.5 +15 TE37s on an R32 GTR with 265/35R18 semi slicks on them and I had to get the guards rolled slightly and the rear raised a tad.

They stick out a little but look f**king awesome IMO.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
