Yeah that's what I thought.. I was hoping somebody had similair cause all my measurements tell me it will fit but I'm not 100% certain and I'm a bit skeptical... If I go plus 30 I'll have to run camber or stretch I'm thinking... I guess if I go+41 I can always get a spacer

fairly new to all this.. I have a r34 gtt and im looking at running 18x10+41 rear and 18x9+25 front I want to run minimum amount of stretch and camber, Ive already rolled the guards all round and im running nismo s tune suspension

Short answer on the rears? No.

For a rule of thumb, 18x9.5+25 is pretty much FLUSH with the guards, front and rear at 0 camber. Bearing in mind unless you have camber arms on the rears, as you lower it, it will camber in a few degrees. Fronts can be adjustable through most aftermarket suspension types by around +/- 2 degrees.

So your 18x9+25 is great for the front, and depending on how much you lower it will depend on the amount of stretch you will need. If you want to be eating gravel, you will probably need 225s on it. Which is a fair amount of stretch.

Rears - These will be very close to the suspension, especially if you don't stretch the tyres. If you want 18x10 badly, you need an offset of 30 or less. I had 18x10.5+30 with 245/40, and it fit, but I don't believe there was much clearance AND it was sitting around 5-10mm outside the guards even with around 2 degrees of camber. Your 18x10s will sit 15mm INSIDE the guards, even with 0 camber, which in my mind defeats the purpose of having a fat rim and tyre combo.

Go 18x9+25 all round IMHO. It will be a safe choice, and you can put fatter tyres on the rears if you needed to.

18x10+41 is 10mm further into the guards than 9.5, I'll be running a 265 tyre, that's pretty much the biggest I'll fit.. I'm not going ridiculously low probably keep it around 110mm off the ground, so that should be okay there... If I get these wheels and worst case scenario I'll just have to run spacers I guess

I've been rolling around with stretched tyres on my 33 for a while now, haven't really had issues but just for track work stretched is a no-go so I'm looking into some semi-slicks.

9.5 +22 on the front

10.5 +30 on the rears.

Looking at getting some 265/40R18 for the rear, what's my best bet for the fronts? Got 225's on there atm I think, thinking they might need at least 245's but unsure what to look for. Anyone got a good idea of what will work best?

To run those sizes without stretch you are going to need to raise the car up, it won't be able to sit as low as the tyres will be outside the guards.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I would run 275s on the rear, more traction the better, especially for track. And 255s on the front. Not sure how much stretch is considered stretch?

18x9.5+12 on a r34 gtt with rolled guards and adjustable coilovers - on the rears. (Fronts I am going 18x9,5+20)

I had 18x10.5+30, and that was poking around 5-10mm with natural lowered camber, I feel the +12 will be too much. Anyone else had experience with this aggressive offset?

Was running 245/40 to fit the 10's in the guards.

I ran 18x9.5+12 all round w 235/40/18 R33 gtst

best offset for stock guards IMHO

guards are practically the same

Remember that going from 10.5 to 9.5 will pull the wheels in, if the offset remains the same.

ie) a wheel 18x10.5 +30 will have the same poke as 18x9.5 +17

So if you are going for 18x9.5 +12 it will poke 5mm more than your 18x10.5 +30

Car looks good, I want 'more dish' look on rears, so I will be going +20 fronts and +12 rears. Cheers for the help guys.

hi guys..

I need some advice here..

I have a dilemma to choose between 2 wheels options..

1. 18x8.5 +30 front with 235/40 and 18x9.5 +35 rear with 265/35

or

2. 18x10 +25 all rounds

which types are the most suitable enough for 1993 R33 GTST without any major modifications?

I have stock suspensions..

I'm sorry if I asked to much here, I'm a R33 newbie :D

So your first option is conservative, same as what I'm running at the moment.. Front will sit in the guard a fair bit, rear will be flush with a little low.

Then you're second option is like bam! Super aggressive, especially for the fronts. Dunno if I've read anyone fitting a 18x10+25 in the front of a gtst

Do you want to drive your car or park it in a Maccas car park?

absolutely I want to drive it mate..

18x10+25 won't fit with no suspension or guard work

18x10 on a gts is a bit too aggressive. Mate was running 18x10.5 +24 and it was stuck out a good inch and a half

It's very do able with the right components and set up

hi guys, thanks a lot for your advice..

so big no for 18x10, maybe I will take the option 1..

honesty I'm still looking for 17x9 but still don't get it here..

:D

Dunno if I've read anyone fitting a 18x10+25 in the front of a gtst

heaps of people have done 18*10+xx it on stock metal... takes work though

fwiw it's less agressive than the 9.5+12's on my old car (photos in link on last page i think)

will be within around 5mm of the UCA

with a Potenza 245/40/19, how large a wheel would you think will work with some stretch?

9.5? 10"?

im thinking of putting 10 on the rear and 9.5 on the front, with offset asside will the tires work or is that too extreme do you think?

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
