hes talking -4 degrees camber on the rear. and has R33 gtr wheels. which as you said are 17x9 +30, and wants to add spacers to add more poke. which in my opinion is unnecessary. but then, im not mexican.

4 degrees is a silly amount of rear camber......mine has mininal camber(not sure how much) but already very slippery compared to stock

thats what i was clarifying however -4 camber on standard arms as previously stated is impossible even with sacking it to the ground...

But your absolutely right camber in rear is completely stupid and doesnt help the car handle at all on the road

Hey all just need an expert opinion on a set of rear wheels I am getting. Long story short, I waited a little to late to get a set of wheels I wanted. Now the store only has rears available in a 18x10 +40. I know this will not fit, I just wanted to know what size spacer I would have to run in the rear in order to make it sit flush with the guard? I also have two offest sizes available for the front 18x9 +24 and 18x9 +30. Which of these offsets will sit flush with the guard with no mods needed. Also, with spacer calculation say the rim is a +40 will a 5mm spacer then make it +35?

Wow!!!!! Thanks for the quick response. So sorry was rushing forgot to mention its a r33 gts-t. How big a spacer would you say is just to big and ya might as well get a rim with the right offset. I was thinking of putting a 10mm spacer on back. or a 5mm. Will a 5mm be enough for the rear wheel to clear the necessary parts?

depending on the wheel size you have on now i would say you would have atleast 25 - 30mm less clearance on the inside of the guard (closer to the strut) and about 30-40mm more poke towards the guard.

complete guess there on rim sizes that you have but i rekon a 10mm spacer will get you out of trouble just fine :)

Right now I am stock. Just wanted to make sure I get the fitment right for the rims I am about to get. To let you know what they are front 18x9 +24 or +30

and rear 18x10 +40 with a 10mm spacer. How does that sound. Which offset should I go with in the front for a flush fitment no mods? I was leaning towards the +30

IMO its always best to test fit or measure to ensure fitment you want.

if you dont want to agressive on the front go the 18x9 +30 and then the 18x10 +40 and add that 10mm spacer. may need to just roll the inside lip depending on tyre sizes but should be all ok :)

with that ull need to do more than roll the inside lip unless ur planning on running some camber or a stretched tyre (or keeping it at stock height).

Hey jjman, what all will I have to do in order to get those wheels to fit in your opinion? To give you an idea with what I am working with the car has rear camber arms and coilovers front and rear. This is a r33 gtst. The rims I have in mind are 18x9 +24 or +30 in the front with a 235 40 tire and in the rear 18x10 +40 with a 10 mm spacer cause the 18x10 +22 are no longer available, with a 265 35 tire. In the front will the +24 be a better fitment and if the have another color available with the +24 in the rear will that be a better fitment? Are those tire sizez ok? Please someone help cause I am about to purchase these rims tomorrow and do not want to get them if they are too much trouble. Do not want to run ridiculous camber in the front or rear as it is a daily driver that will be doing some drag runs from time to time.

18x9+24 still won't poke. That is a close to flush fitment, it will sit about 2-3mm inside the guard. Safe. Running 18x9.5+22 and it is poking around 5mm with 0 camber, your offset is 8mm further inset.

With the 18x10+40 issue, a 15mm spacer will push it out to the same as the picture linked, which is my 18x10.5+30 245/40

If you are going to push it out ^ that far, and slam it, you will need to run stretch and rolled guards unless you want to look mexican.

Can't see the pic as I am to work, but I want to run a 265 35 18 on the back with as flush a fitment as I can get. I don't want any poke just sitting flush with the guard and lowered.

Interesting.

I was thinking about going 18x10+38 on the back of my 33 gtst. Thought i had plenty of room on the inside. What are you expecting it will foul on. Shock / Strut? Need to remeasure...

265 is a pretty big tyre, maybe drop a size but either way you will have to lip the inside of the guard

more than likeley foul on the strut. drop the offset to low 30s

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
