there is no such thing as "GTR offset" offset comes in numbers only.

saying GTR offset is the same as saying "stage 3" mods.... it means you are of the ghey.

basically they are saying that they are of the opinion those rims will only fit on a GTR.

you need to ask what the offset is before we can tell you anything.

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

Need a reply ASAP guys, been reading for a bit but don't have time to find the info I need. I currently have 18x9" lenso d1rs on the rear of my 34 GTT, unsure of the offset. I'm looking at going 10" but the wheel place said they only have GTR offset. Will these fit under my standard guards ? Car is standard height. I just don't want them to stick out to much.

Any advice is appriciated.

and finding out what your current wheels are would make it really easy with a few measurements.

it should be written somewhere on the back of the rim/spoke of the wheel. Concentrate more on getting the right offset than getting 10" wide wheels

Hey guys newbie with offsets etc but looking at running 19x10 +42 (rears) with 10 or 15mm spacers and rolled guards and 19x8.5 +15 fronts.

Tried my mates starcorp impuls and they were 19x9.5 +40 and they just didn't clear stock suspension on the rears so I reckon with the guards rolled and spacers it should be sweet?

So I've found some offsets I like, i'm just not sure on size.

How will 19x9.5 +13 Front and 19x10 +9 Rear go on a Series 1 R33gts-t?

The 33 I looked at had 18x9.5 +13 Front and 18x10 +9 but the rims looked a little small. Anyone able to tell me if the 19's will rub anywhere?

Not 100% but id say rolled guards and a spacer will be needed in the rears.

Yea will need to be rolled for sure, I could even handle a little bit of pumping but only slight. I'm more worried about hitting struts or something like that.

in the 18" size you will need to pull the guards and remove the front liners if you want it to be low and look good.

i'd suggest looking at 235/40 fr and 245/40 r

the 19's in the same size will look worse, as 19's are too big for the r33 shell.

18's not only look better but are often cheaper and have a much wider variety of tyres to choose from for less money. not to mention that you get a little more sidewall with an 18 which make it easier to tuck and will give a better ride.

i'd imagine a 19 will fit the same as long as you go for a rubber band tyre...

once upon a time there was a thread about 22's on a 33 and I reasearched and drew up an incredibly accurate, scientific graph that represents R33 rim size.

now what you will see here is that whilst 19's wont have you listening to feminem or dancing to richard simmonds, they are still considered to be mildly homo when placed on a 33.

An 18/19 Stagger is probably the limit of charles bronson, however this is tough to pull off well.

Hi guys - looking to get koya drift teks 17x9 wheels for my r32 - the guy selling them said they'll probably fit but i might need to get the guards rolled - i'm fine with that, however is there a way of checking whether they'll clear the callipers or not? Type M's have bigger callipers from what I've heard. They came off an r32 but he doesn't know if it was a type m or not.

With the research I've done from this thread, offset doesn't matter with calliper clearance, he wasn't sure of the offset but said he thinks its +20 :/

Thanks in advance :)

Actually, changed my mind and decided to go with another brand 17x7's with wider tyres ... tried looking but still can't find a picture of how this width would look on a 32 gtst with around 25-35 offset... wondering if this would fit the guards nicely with wide tyres (255's)

Sorry mate, there is no way we can make sense of your situation based on the description you just gave.

If you are unsure of the offset (of either your current rims or the 'GTR offest') then you have no chance of urself or anybody else undersatnd and solving ur issue.

10's can fit without too much trouble but they have to be the right offset...

Otherwise take the time to scroll thru the pages of info here and you will find an exact of similar case of what you are asking which will answer you question...

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
