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 ?

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.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
