ok another one for you guys, i didn't end up going down the d1r path but i can get some Grid R's in 18x9.5+22 and 18x10+15 tire wise there 225's i think.

Just wanting to know how they will fit, As stated in my last post my car is fairly low & has rolled front & rears, guessing ill need to take out my inners/liners as they scrub now just past half lock. will i need to pump the rears?

cheers

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

I found out that the 10" that im looking at are +22 offset. My car is standard height atm and has standard guards. You reckon they will fit ?

Skyline model = R32 GTS4

Rim Model = Enkei RPF1's

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +35mm

rim fouls on caliper, i was told these rims would fit and i dont really feel like buying spacers. does anybody know what dimensions will fit a r32 gts4?

Just out of interest, is it necessary to remove the guard/wheel arch liners out if you are running decent size wheel & tyre or lowering a bit?

My car isn't what you would call low at all, but because my suspension isnt race spec coilovers (they're bilstein/whitelines) and they aren't rock hard, I get scuffing when I go over a hard bump or turn real hard up front.

Or do most just sort it out with camber?

You need a bigger 'X-Factor' i.e caliper clearance this changes from wheel to wheel and is not dependent on wheel width or offset.

For instance I have a set of Evo V Enkeis and a set of Work Meister M1Rs. At 17x7.5 +35 my Enkeis have more brake clearance than my 18x10.5 +15 Meisters due to a different X-factor.

Skyline model = R34 25GT Sedan S2

Rim Model = TE37's

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +22

Car sits standard at the moment but looking to lower after wheels are on if it is even possible.

Whats the most practical wheel size/type that won't cause any rubbing or require me to do any modification and what is the most plausible that won't cause me any grief such as clearing callipers etc.. i was thinking 235/40

Looking at getting some new rims for my r33 gtst, Im not keen on having to get guards rolled or pumped and want to have the wheels sit flush for legality.

I have been told by a few people to look at 18x9.5s all round in offset of about +30 to +38 or f 18x8.5 and r18x9.5 in similar offsets.

Ideally, I'd like a non staggered fitment and to run something like a 235 or 245 with maybe a 40 or 45 profile. However if that causes fitment issues in the front then I'm happy to go 8.5s in the front and obviously a skinnier tyre to suit.

Just wondering who has run wheels in these sizes/offsets/tyre sizes on a 33 gtst?

Any other opinions on the above are appreciated as well

as to legality it depend on what state you are in.

18x8.5+30 and 18x9.5+30 will fit but you'd still wanna roll the rear guards

9.5+30 all round will look better but you will wanna be looking into removing the guard liners if you want it low.

235/40/18 (but if you wanna be legal 245/40)

Skyline model = Laurel C35 Club S (Skyline in a tuxedo :whistling: )

Wheel model = Work Meister S2R

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = Front 9, Rear 10

Wheel offset = +35

Tyre size = Front 245/35, Rear 255/35

Modifications to fit = Rolled gurads, -1.8 camber front, adjustables with spring upgrade (10s&8s) so not toooo much wheel travel

as to legality it depend on what state you are in.

18x8.5+30 and 18x9.5+30 will fit but you'd still wanna roll the rear guards

9.5+30 all round will look better but you will wanna be looking into removing the guard liners if you want it low.

235/40/18 (but if you wanna be legal 245/40)

Thanks for the advice, what if I went 9.5 +38 all round with a 245/40?

From what I can tell the rears will sit pretty much flush with the guards so perhaps the only concern will be the fronts ?

What up sau

Im about to get a set of xxr 527's which are 18 x 8.75 +20 all round and my question is will the rear rims be a bit small for the rears or will it be ok, planning on running 235/40 all round ,

any suggestions please cause im planning on getting these tomorow

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
