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

18 x 9.5 +34 265 tyre

for go on road

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 doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
