Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8" front 9" rear

Wheel offset = +30 front +35 rear

Tyre size = 235/45/17 front 255/40/17 rear

Modifications to fit = none, not lowered (would probably have to roll guards if lowered to far)

Nice and flush.

34 gtt. Definitely going to run a 235/40 now as I'm realising the front is going to be a tricky fit.

I'll just have to put up with it until I convert to wide guards :yes:

just run 235/40 all round.

remember that a good quality 235 is gong to give you more grip than a shitty 265... it's not all about the width.. I used to run 300+ on 235 nitto NT05 with great traction (well what you can call great for 300+ rwkw

also the fronts are an easy fit... just need to massage the guards and remove the liners... took me like 15 mins to roll the fronts for that size

hell no.

legal minimum for a 9.5" is 245 and 235 is within specs for many manufacturers....

this means it's tested not to fail

just dont want the sidewall collasping on me on a hard corner. I may have to get 245 to be safe then but how much bigger is the 245 than the 235 on the sidewalls "5mm"?.want little to no scrubbing issues

you aint gonna lose a tyre from a 235 on a 9.5"

I've happily driven a 300+rwkw car up mt buller road at 10/10ths with 235's on 9.5's

if i die its you to blame hehe, jokes thanks for the info.

Would be more likely to un-seat the bead than collapse the side wall. Not good either way though.

ill push with caution and get better tyres to compansate

a 235 on a 9.5 isn't going to unseat the bead... it'snot a stretched tyre.

anything that de-beads a 235 on a 9.5 would have done the same to a 265

check that... the NT-05's that I used on the 33.

look at the 235/40 - it's approved by the manufacturer (in super litigious america) from 8.0 - 9.5

should end any arguments

Weekend teat fit showed that

18x9.5 /10 +15/20 has no chance on my 34gtt

Mad Mexican with no camber,

Hoping to have more luck with 18x9.5 +30 all round with 235/40.

Will stick out 35mm not 55, hopefully be able to make it work, unfortunately interstate so I have to commit and hope.

Weird how much 18x9.5 +15 stuck out on my 34. The tires were 235/40 and the top edge of the Tyre tread even stuck out past the guard. No camber and stock height but it was fairly gay looking. I should have taken a picture.

When u camber the wheels with adjustable camber arms, does it pull the top of the wheel in or push the bottom out, or does it pivot from the center of the wheel?

Edited by GH05T

centre.... but when you lower the car it cambers and tucks a fair amount naturally.

the guards on my care were pulled fairly aggressively, but not flared. the front guards are soft as... you can pretty much put them whereever you want

did you see the pics i posted 18 x 9.5 +20 at the back will be flush.If you want to have a bigger tyres to utilise the grip of a 9.5 then get a 30.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
