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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
