What are the chances of me getting a 18x10.5 +15 with 265 tyre on the back of my 33 GTS-t ? Guard is rolled with about -2 camber

Shit that'd be close. It would certainly poke a fair bit... With the camber and rolling, I reckon you would get away with it. I'm going 10.5+30 on my rears, no camber, guards rolled and it should sit perfectly on 255s. Pics up when you slam them on, that'll look hot!

Need some advice on spacers brahs!

Would like to see them being more flush and all that fun stuff. Noting yes, it is 4x4 height now, but I just need some spare time to chuck the coilovers in. Then loooow <3.

Edit: Noting car is an R34, wheels are 17s, not sure on offset tbh, been meaning to try and have a closer look but always forget :(

As you can see they are too sunken in, sadly. Ideally I don't want to do any guard work at all - or if so, minimal. I'm not after super aggressive poke etc (don't even want poke, just don't want sunken!). Noting I'm not too in-the-know with this stuff; so if there's any other issues (i.e. "going low and spacers will not work because _____" please let me know LOL).

Thanks in advance :D

Skyline model = R33 GTS25T S2

Wheel diameter = 18'

Wheel width = 9' rear 8.5' front

Wheel offset = r +35 f 35

Tyre size = r 265 f 235

Modifications to fit = removed inner fender guards in front and slight fender rolling

Hi guys - looking at getting 17x8 +22 front and 17x9 +27 rears for my sightly lowered r32 gtst, any ideas if they'll fit fine? Can't test fit because the wheels arent close by :(

Tyres are 225/45/17 fronts and 235/45/17 rear - and its a type - M so bigger calipers I think?

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys,need to know if 18x9.5 +30 with 265s all round will fit R33 GTST? Any mods?

Thanks :)

Yeah as previous said, drop to a smaller width tyre. May need to remove front liner to reduce scrubbing, but will EASILY fit in the rears. Won't poke much on the fronts, and will sit inset in the rears.

When I bought spacers, I just lowered mine to the low that it would ideally sit at, then measured from the tyre -> guard. That worked well for me, I was about 5mm out. Make sure you don't get spacers, as in metal that sits in between your rim and disk, but get the-- I think they are called hub centralisers or some bullshit, but basically it bolts on to your existing bolts, then you bolt the rim off that. If you want perfect flush, you need to find out what offset your rim is. And I think the perfect flush fitment for an r34 is 9.5+27, and that can transpose to 10.5+40, 8.5+14, etc etc. Then just use your rims offset and add the spacer in to make it perfect flush using before meantioned offsets.. Note: When car is jacked up, it will poke A LOT, but once you lower it, it will be ok :) Now many people will tell you spacers are bad and all that shit. I have been running for 6 months, and I know people who have been running for 3+ years and had no issues ever. Just don't get shit quality ones, and you should be ok. And I suggest if you want flush, you roll all your guards. You are looking at about $100 for the car done, and if done properly, you will have no paint damage. Any further issues, just give me a buzz.

*bump* the guy's gonna sell the wheels to someone else :( any 32 gtst guys out there?

I own a 34, and because 33's are close, I can give advice. If I was you I would go through the thread yourself. Not hard, and you can make the decisions yourself, and you get to learn more.

def need some more pics, very interested as to how it looks.

Finally was able to get it out of the garage for a bit today so took some pics

wheel specs again are: Superlites 15x10 -26 all round, 205/50 on the rear & 195/50 up front

Hey mate, thanks for the reply :)

Finally had a day free yesterday and chucked in the coilovers, nice and low now (although will be lowering fronts a bit more even :P). Yeah I've heard to avoid slip on spacers like the plague, lol.

Cheers for the info, will probably go down this route of just measuring now to figure out spacer size (any suggestions for not-shit-quality brands?). Yeah will probably have to look to getting guards rolled... as well as maybe some camber arms... just lowering it gave it some angle LOL. Now to wait for funds... :P

    • 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.
