Hi Everyone looking for purchase a set of Gramslight 57D for my GTT. I had read a bit of the old post here, some say they can run +20 to 22 all round without any problem, But most people do +35 to +30 offset. I have no idea which will be the best offset for the GTT. Current with HKS hyper Max 2 coilover with 1 and half finger gap all round and RPF1 18 x 8 F, 18 x 9 R and +35 offset. I think that combination is quite nice for GTT. The problem is the 57D ONLY come with +38 or +22 offset Is thinking of 18 x 9.5 +38 F and 18 x 9.5 +22 R, or +38 all round? Planning for using 245 40 F and 265 35 R tyres. I am after something without guards roll, no stretch tyres and no massive camber. Please help Thank you.

For anyone that is interested, I went with the 18x9 +18 all round.

Skyline model = 1998 R34 GT-t

Wheel model = Enkei RP03

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9"

Wheel offset = +18

Tyre size = Front 245/40, Rear 265/35

Modifications to fit = None

Here is the result (looks pretty good methinks...)

I've been thinking about getting a set of rims that look good, but didn't necessarily have the width that I would have liked. it comes in 18x8 19x8 and 20x8.5.

Now I know most people seem to at least run 8.5 on the rears. I would like to do much the same, however with the available sizes, that would mean running 20" rims, which I don't intend to do.

Would anyone still be able to recommend 8" wide rims as nice; or is 8.5"-9" have particular advantages I'm not seeing atm?

Skyline model = 1997 R33 Gts-t S2

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = F 9.0/R 10.0

Wheel offset = F +45/R +48

Tyre size = F235 / 40 R275/35

Modifications to fit = None , but it doesnt fit! Tyres hit on the inside, How big spacers would I need to get this to fit?

One more question

To sit absolutely flush on a r33 gtst s2 , which tyre size and offset is most preferable with only mods required being rolled guards. Scanned over 45 page of this thread but unable to see if a general consensus had been reached.....

20mm front and back should be good..25 would be ok too..are they andypandas wheels??

he had exactly the same size for sale.....theres pics in his sale thread...i believe he was running just 20mm spacers at the front and it sits pretty good

here it is..

wow , you have no idea just how helpful that was :)

No these are completely different wheels but with the exception of not being white, they are exactly the same....I had them on my supra for the past 2 years and they have 275's at the back.

with the 275's , would 20mm spacers still be adequate so it has sufficient inner clearance?they are hitting pretty bad right now to the point of not even having enough space to bolt the wheel on.if not will the 25mm spacer suffice? Id prefer to fit these wheels then swap them

something like this?

Hi, i'm struggling to determine whether or not the following will fit:

Skyline Model = R33gts SII (n/a, 4x114.3 hub, puny calipers)

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8" front - 9" rear

Wheel offset = +30

The wheels i want to order are called Wolf S1P's

http://www.wolfwheels.co.nz/wheels/high-performance/s1p.html

anyone running a similar size/offset? opinions on the offset? Will they fit ok? If so what size rubber

Love this thread, help really appreciated, thanks.

Those will fit.

Tho as usual, depnding on ride height, camber n tyres- fronts might rub the guard at full lock especially with suspension load. Rears might need the guards rolled.

Nonetheless, should fit well/look good.

Mate, those are massive wheels for a GTST (and tyres).

While you may be able to get them to stop hitting on the inner with spacers they are going to stick out like bulldogs balls and certainly require considerable guard + suspension mods just to not hit the arches...

dammit , and i thought the r33 rear end looked fat enough to handle 275's. I plan to roll the fenders but didnt want to mess with the actual bodywork of the car...

sorry to be such a noob and ask again but can you confirm that 275's rarely ever get put on r33's unless guard work is done?

well it is fat enough n it isnt...

N funny you should ask. I run 275's on the rear of mine...

but there are a few things you have to take into account. my rim is 18x9.5+36. Which is about as good/wide as it gets for an R33 GTST when all other things have been considered. Any bigger/further in n you are going to be coming close to suspension n guards etc. Any further out n it will stick out from the guard.

I have had to completely cut my rear arch lip out to get these to fit. As you can see from the pic it sits EXACLTY flush with the guard (at the top) but the tyre does stick out further down the arches- so technically defectable, but its sticking out overall n at the top that is the main issue for a defect. n the boys have never bothered me about how mine slightly stick out. See pics attached

The second issue is that alot of people will simply run alot of camber to get big rims n tyres inside the arches. Well, ok, that works, but basically you are reducing the handling of your car AND chewing through tyres very quickly (and expensive tyres at 18"x275)- Its just not worth it.

Finally, have you ever used spacers before? often they will never sit perfectly and balanced which also means that you get some interesting handling characteristics and steering vibration. Oh yeah, n spacers are another thing to get defected for...

so technically , to get flush fitment , if I could buy the perfect rim (which for me would be something deep dish) it should be 18x9 +36 at the rears with 265/255's? What else would give close to flush fitment while filling out the bulging arse end of the 33 without any more mods then rolled fenders? and do 235's at the front do the job and sit flush? scared to mess to much with the front as those two wheels move a hell of a lot more then the rear :)

the fronts on R33's are a funny thing... having rims that sit flush means rubbing on the guards under turning/load. Iv got 2 skylines. 1 is getting close to flush and rubs (tho i would say not badly at all and very tolerable) with 17x8.5+32 with 235's. The other (car in the pic above) sits in a bit (i.e. is not flush) and does not rub at all- on this the rims are 18x8.5+36 with 235/35/18's.

Im sure once again camber or getting stuck into the front arch guards might fix it but thats cheating in my books, and fronts with camber on a street driven car will chew out sooooo quick.

does your car have coilovers or is lowered?

how do u reckon 17x9.5+18 will sit,

Pics would be amazazing!!!

Good on the rear, maybe a bit mexicano on the front.

I had 9" + 22 on the front and they sat just about flush with pumped guards. Those offsets stick out 10mm more.

well I do plan to add a small amount of camber but this is my daily driver so above all I aim to have stock drivability and comfort nothing to harsh , and certainly nothing that's going to rub at all.Don't mind being slightly above the guard if the front is going to rub.

No i have no coil overs or anything right now - deciding on which one to buy , the bc v1 look good. Wanted to get the wheels first so Il know how much to lower.....basically i want it to sit flush without rubbing anything with the only mods being rolled guards. Seem to think this is impossible now :(

I run 18x9.5+12 w 235/40/18 allround, tyres tucked. not cambered and not flared... I get no scrub... it's all in the guardwork

    • 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.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
