Hey guys would a set of 18"s 9.5 and +26 with 255/35 tyres all round fit fine without any issues on a four door r33gtst stock height?

Edited by BrOwnY GT

Hey guys need some advice been looking through this topic ALL night and still unsure of what to get. Ok I have an r33 gtst wanting 18 by 9 or 19 by 8.5 in the front and 18 or 19 by 10 in the rear. I want to run at least 265 40 tires in rear and 235 or 245 40 tires up front. Really want this height cause the roads here a kinda bad, willing to drop to a 35 in height but that is the absolute lowest I can go. Now I was wondering what offset I would need for the front and rears to make the wheels fit with as little modification as possible? I can adjust height and roll guards if I have to, but that is all I really want to do. What offset do I have to run to make these combinations work?

I was thinking an offset in the low 20's would work for the front and low 30's high 20's for the rear?

What do you guys suggest?

this will be a little different from the norm..

Skyline model = R33GTST

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 13

Wheel offset = a magic number

Tyre size = either a 275/35/18 or 295/35/18

Modifications to fit = Widebody

Havent had a good look, but I should be able to fit 18 x9 18 x 10 +22 on a 32 gtst with a little camber and slight roll pretty easy yeah? What tyre sizes would people reccomend? Thinking 215 and 235 in a 40 or 45?

my fronts are 18x9.5+12 with 225/40 r18 tyres ,modifications to ift are rolled guards and remove the inner plastic .

and the rears are 18x10.5+22 with 245/40r18 tyres ,modifications were rolled and flared guards done by a mobile guard roller/flarer

i have about neg2 on the fronts and 0 camber on the rears . hope this helps at all .

Pics please! You must have some stiff coilovers

Hi there, fairly new to the skyline scene, and not sure if the wheels I've got in mind would fit or be too wide... Any advice you could give me would be appreciated. I've got an N/A R33 which has the 4 stud hubs. I'm gonna be doing a 5 stud conversion soon, and so I'm starting to look at wheels. I've got a set of wheels in mind... They're 18s which are 10in wide all round, with 30 offset. They're coming off an S15, so I'm under the impression that means they should fit my 33 with no problems after the conversion? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks guys.

Ah, yeah true.

Anyone got pics of 9.5 +22 on a 33 gtst? Got some Rays in mind, pretty confident they'll fit but wouldn't mind seeing how they sit

they will sit 3mm further out then my professors did....

AWWWWW come on guys no help!!! Help please?????? Open to suggestions. What is the widest tire size I can run in the rear and mods would I need to make these rims fit front and rear? Looking at 18 or 19 by 9 up front and 18 or 19 by 10 in the rear. I dont mind rolling the guard and a bit of camber but if it can be avoided I would like to if not I am willing. Offset for front +36 rears +43

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = R32 Gtr

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width =10"

Wheel offset =+12

Tyre size =235 40 18

Modifications to fit = none so far.

Car has bc coilovers fitted. Front can go lower which ill do when i get more time. reckon the back may rub with passengers.post-66556-0-47619800-1329052281_thumb.jpgpost-66556-0-01544800-1329053283_thumb.jpg

    • 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.
