how would these offsets fit/look on an r33 s2?

im assuming no mods to gaurds?

would fit well and not require any mods to the guards as far as i can tell even when fitting full width tyres to those rim sizes. (235/35 & 265/35). Cant garuantee it will if you plan to dump it on its arse tho...

Also cant comment on whether the spokes will clear the calipers but by the look of the design and the offset it should do.

rears would be ok but the fronts would be swallowed up under the guards with that kind of width n offset- n look shit IMO.

could spacers be used to push them out to fill out the guards more? or would they still look shit?

well spacers are always an option in their own right. but there are several issues with them.

1- they are illegal in most states (defect notice material)

2- it is very hard to get the wheel centred on there well with spacers which = vibration through the steering and excessive wear on your wheel assembly/steering system

3- it can also upset the handling

just thought id post up how i went with the rims:

Fronts: 17x8 +45, 235/45/17

Rears: 17x9 +35, 255/45/17

rears sit flush with guards, fronts sit flush but ended up using a 5mm spacer each side.

make sure she is all bolted up properly n then take it out for a run on the freeway and see if you have any steering vibration. (or does it wander easily or tramline etc)

Hey guys thinking of running XXR 526's on my 33 GTST.

18x9 +35

18x9 +25

Would these for without guard rolling etc? Only thing I'm mildly concerned about is that the spokes may not clear the standard brakes.

maybe, maybe not. at stock ride height probably but otherwise it would be touch n go. Tho u will also get away with it if you run stretched tyres. (but please dont, its sacrilidge...)

Anyone successfully pumped an inch more room out of 33 gtst rear guards?

easy, but there is chance of paint cracking... i'd say i got around an inch out of mine without cracking on the outside at all

great thread ,will post up pics and specs when i get my new wheels . hopefully next week :)

will want to lip them, but that's all

18x9.5 +12 on the front and 18x10.5 +22 on the rears ?i was thinking the rears might need a little flare ?fronts hopefully should be fine with some neg camber witch i'm allready running . but will only know once i get them on .

is this for a GTST? if so you are dreaming. Or crossing the border into mexico in a bad way.

if you can be bothered check thru the 'car parts' for sale section. There was a guy selling rims like this which he ahd on his GTST (red one from memory). There are pics. If its your thing then go for it.

But defect notices are also the cop's thing

i have 18x9.5+12 all round at the moment, and the 10.5+22 is only 3mm more

so yeh... easy fit with a roll/flare or camber. front guard liners will have to be removed

i dont run camber to fit my rears for traction reasons, but with a little pull they fit easily

yeah i'm running 0 camber in the rears and about neg 2 in the fronts , anyways when i get them i will post pics of how they sit before any guard work is done .

And heres it on 18s.

18x9-1 215/40/18 *fronts*

18x10+16 235/40/17 *rears*

248814_10150280508124258_685484257_9075653_4871415_n.jpg

camber; -3deg front / -2deg rears

jjman

i couldnt find the forsale thread but i did find this ,thats the sort of flare i want on the rears and even though my rims will be half a inch wider front and back this guy is running heaps lower offsets ,so mine shouldnt be that bad ?

  • 3 weeks later...

Would 18x9.5 +22 wearing 265's all round fit a R33gtst with rolled guards on rge rear and no liners on the front STD guards?

Camber wise I run -3 on the front and -1.5 on rear with around 350 mm centre of wheel to guard.

    • 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.
