Can anyone confirm if 18x9.5+32 front and 18x10.5+38 rear wheels will fit an 1996 r33 gtst without any modifications, are these the widest you can go before you have to flare guards? if so how much wider can you go..

maybe wheel spacers?

cheers

That should be a completely safe fitment. Should sit inside the guards (for legality issuess) and shouldn't have any scrub issues, especially staying stock height. Run 235/40 fronts and 255/40 rears just to be sure. Make sure you post pics when you are done :)

hells no.

That will hit the rear guard lip and rub the front guards without doubt. Would need lots of camber and guard rolling to fit.

Will not be legal.

you are both wrong... lol

if you want low you will need to pull the guards a little for those sizes... but not much

and you wont need epic camber.

reference the pics at the top of this page

yeah i was looking at the 33 at the top, but i want to go for the out of the guard look, what will it be involved in doing that and fitting the new pair of ssr i just bought 18x9.5+32 and 18x10.5+38

hells no.

I am going to debate this..

If his car has no modifications then the stock height plus the small amount of stretch he will be putting on the tyres will miss the rear guard lip. I have 10.5+30 on the rear and if I raised my car I wouldn't need guard rolling at all. The only reason this fitment is illegal is because he will be running two different sized rims.

by that token if you raised your car it would stick out a bit too... remember they tuck in when lowererd

and becasue they are 18's

and because they are 10.5's

and becasue of the track increase

lol

who cares if it's legal... legal rims always look shitty

i figured some people just say it fits but they wouldnt do that to their cars. If it possible people should try test fitting and seeing if its possible or trust those with pics otherwise man you could serioslu get some bad offsets which you cant return.

17 x 8 + 5 front 205 tyre

17 x 10 + 5 rear 235 tyre

For show.

yes it gts

17 x 9 +30 with 235 front and 255 rear for race but no pic

r33 s2 to fill the guards evenly do you go same size wheels all round. Or how much wider on the rear hypothetically if running similar camber.

planning to go 18 x 9 +21 front and 18 x 10 either +33 or +26 rear. Would prefer to go a little lower in offset but next up is 18 x 9 +9 which i think will be a reasonable effort to make fit and not scrub (ride height approx 335mm eyebrow)

Cheers

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
