Steve you nailed it with fitment!

Should be putting in my order for the 18x9.5 + 22 rims this week or the next.

Cheers dude! I have to admit I was worried when I was selecting the fitment without test fitting anything, and buying them outright. But I was so glad when I saw they were almost 100% perfect!

Hope everything goes well for your car and fitment!

Has anyone ran 255 wide tyres on the front of their GTS-t ?

I'm currently running 275 rears and 245 front on R33 GT-R rims on my R33 boat. I honestly do not like any stretch (it's my OCD) and down the track just want to run 255 all round the car (tyres came with rims) for rotation etc..

I don't give a rats about hellaflush btw :)

I don't mind a bit of stretch when applied to the right car. You can't always just buy rims that aren't as wide because then you lose dish or the concave looks some people desire. That said, it looks so much better on an s-chassis than a skyline.

On the right car it suits. I think if I was running 265s on my 10.5s, it just wouldn't sit as nice. I don't see why there is need for discussion here - it all comes down to personal preference. If you don't like it, whatever. If you do like it, whatever. Everyone is going to have a separate opinion on the matter, but no one opinion is right. I dislike Work Meisters, I think they are disgusting looking rims. Doesn't mean someone else can't love them and put them on their car.

True words

Hey all just have a quick question to ask. 18*10 is the rim size. Have two offset sizes to choose from and they are +40 and +22. What tire sizes can I run with each offset size with as little camber as possible and a guard roll? I want to run as wide a tire possible on the rears. Will these fit in the rear of an R33 gts-t with 275 tires? If so where will they sit using the guard as a reference? If no what will have to be done to make them fit? .

+40 will make the rim sit very far in, with big tyres it will most likely be rubbing on your suspension arms.

+22 will be fine for inner clearance, with removing the splash guards up front.

You will have to run camber front and rear, and will need a guard roll.

On the rear it will stick out with 275's unless you run a fair bit of camber, the fronts will be the same.

^ Yeah.

They are very weird offsets to have. You almost have both extremes on the scale, too far in and too far out. You would be better off running the +22 because the +40 will most definitely rub. Running 10's on the front will also present issues with turning on full lock in regards to the front liner. Your rims will sit around 10mm outside the guard on the fronts, and about 5mm on the rears. Decent fitment, but you will need to run camber up front and stretch the rears. :)

Thanks for the quick reply. you guys are the best!!!! :yes: The fronts are fine just the rears I am talking about the rears. The fronts are 235 40 18 +25 9 inch wide rim they will fit fine. Just the rears I wanted to know which offset I can run on the 10" rim to get the widest tire possible to fit with just a roll and minimal camber. What is the widest tire possible I can run on that wide a rim with those two offsets?

i had 9.5 +22 with 265's all round, and on the rear i had 7mm spacers, and with that it sat flush, although i was running a fair bit of camber on the back.

With no camber it would have stuck out. And you'll have to roll the guards.

I'd probably run 265's on the 10 +22, should fit easy with a guard roll. Also 265's are easy to come by

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
