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

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
