Thinking of ordering myself two front rims to start of with for my r33 gtst and i am going to get rota grid r wheels. I saw another gtst running 18x9.5 +20 front. I forgot to check the inside of the guard but would this be a perfect fit and not scrub the inside lip? Was a pretty neat fit and am pretty sold on that fitment. Who runs this fitment?

it was on 225/45 rubber and nice stretch

Can anyone give me advice on tyres to fit my 10" XD9's.

Was originally gonna go 255/35/18 but it will result in a sidewall that is a bit narrower than I'd really like, and a smaller circumference than the stock wheels. Plus more $$$$.

Now thinking either 245/40R18 or 235/40R18.

Advice on those two sizes?

you don't note the car it is going on. If it is a GTR (which im assuming as that is a GTR fitment wheel) then why not get some 285's (35/18) on there?

yeah they do look good but that will rub on a gtst. how much depends on tyre size and camber etc.

what offset do you think would be good with say just standard camber and suspension, then what do you think would be the correct offset once running coilovers and playing with camber and having it set up for drift?

R33 Gts-t. More concerned about the rolling diameter (speedo accuracy) than anything. I've got 235 on at the moment and they give good traction. I'm not skimping on tyre quality.

ah, then fitment and the issues with a wheel that size on a gtst is up to you.

meh, there is nothing in it and speedos are designed to over-read the speed.

If in doubt either get the speedo adjusted or just go through/ drive with a calibrated speed sensor to work out how far off your speedo is from true speed.

you do realise that profile isn't actually a mm measurement but a percentage of the width don't you?

the difference will be less than 5mm in height between all sizes you mentioned

he isn't putting on 10 -45 or some hellaflush craze, they are +38's or something.

I thought they were around the +20 mark...?

regardless, 10" is pretty big for the front of a gtst and will need some thought work and appropriate tyre sizing.

LOL yes I know, I'm just not sure if that 5mm extra sidewall each side will make a big difference to the stretch/appearance of the tyre once mounted.

They're +38 and they're going on the back, got 9's going on the front.

well as they are ~4mm higher and 20mm wider they are definately going to look less stretched than the 235/40's

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
