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.

    • 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.
