Can we PLEASE PLEASE stop buying rota and varrstoen or any other knock off wheels....

Its like almost paying full price for a pair of Jordan or Air Max knock offs from ebay. You can buy Enkei or other wheels from SAU sponsors for about the same price. If you want any other decent jap brands contact jesse streeter http://jessestreeter.com/

just for this I am going to go and buy more fake wheels

I know this has been overdone a million times but im about 20 pages in and i still cant find someone with the exact fitments im looking for, ive bought a set of te37 super laps in 18x9.5+22 for my r33 gtst and now im not sure what tyres would fit exactly without scrubbing or maybe a tiny little bit worst case scenario, ive narrowed it down to a 265/35 for the rear and 235/35 for the front. Both front and back guards are rolled as well. if any one can shed some light if i can do those tyre sizes that would be great!

also is it true that 35 is the rolling diamater for a r33 gtst or can i go up to a 40 profile

Cheers

been done a million times.

I had 18x9.5+25 with 235/40/18's and low for some time

ric runs this size currently

had to remove liners, roll and slightly pump all 4 guards and tuck the wires in the front right up better.

just buy quality 235/40/18's and run front and rear. then you can rotate etc

I ran Nitto NT05's most of the time with that size and 330rwkw

The 235/35 would be a smaller rolling diameter than the 265/35s. I believe 235/40 is closer to the stock rolling diameter, and also a more standard size I think...

I'm running 235/40 front, and 265/35 rears.

Got any photos? So many people fitting new wheels, not so many posting the results... :(

post-120186-13864970451246_thumb.jpg head lights need a good polish here haha:(

Looks good. Even more convinced I need to go 9.5 +22 all round now.

You were worried about fitment on the rear? Why not just swap them over and try it out?

yeah i did haha, in my earlier post i said i tried it out and it rubbed on the lip just thought it would stick in more on the rear

Just fitted my XD9's, needs more low in the front.

Thanks to Jesse Streeter for the wheels, Motorsport Wheels and Tyres and M@&k for helping me with fitment.

Specs:

-1.5 Degree camber front, 225/40R18 18x9+30

-1 Degree camber rear, 235/40R18, 18x10+38

Guards are untouched, as they left factory.

Ah really haha, weird. I just measured the bottom of my front bar from the center and it was 163mm, what is yours? mine isnt all that low i guess even though its on lowered springs haha. My center muffler is sitting just under 100mm or so :/ need a resonater instead. So your using the same wheels? did you get the lip rolled on the rear coz mine rubbed when i tried it out on a quick drive.

Yes i got all my lips rolled.

Perhaps Alex and Joey can post a link to their cars as both of these guys helped me when deciding what sizes/offsets to get... Alex's car with the gold xd9's was one the best 33's ive seen, his Enkei's were just as nice

Yes i got all my lips rolled.

Yeah i have actually seen this before and have screen shotted it a while ago from the forums. This car helped me a fair bit in my choice. It looks awesome and i bet would feel pretty good.

I didn't know you sold it - time seems to fly by so quickly. I quite liked the pics you had when you had the mismatched front and rear wheels ?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
