Where is it scrubbing? It shouldn't be with those tyre sizes. The offset seems a bit high, might be scrubbing the front part of the plastic guard cover (if you're running high caster).

FYI I'm running 275/35/18 on 18x10+20, just touches the bit where the bumper is mounted to the guard (rolled guards). I could just raise the car to stop it :P.

Quick question:

Will 18x9.5 +23 fit the front of an R33 without rolling or removing the splash guards? Looking at running either 225/40 or 235/40.

I've got no issue with rolling the rear guards but I don't want to mess up the front. Car sits with about 2-3cm between tyre and arch so not super low.

Currently running 18x9 +30 with no scrubbing at all.

Yes.

I don't wanna mess with the guard liner/front guards because a) it looks shit when it's missing and b) shit gets into the quarter behind the wheel. I'd rather just leave it untouched.

You are just rolling the lip on the fender.. Not missing the plastic lining... There are almost no downsides to getting it done.

Meh... bin it

Hey guys, im in the market for new rims and im a newbie when it comes to offsets so ive come to you guys!

My 33 has not had its guards rolled and sits at a pretty well standard height for the moment but will be putting some BC Coilovers in at the same time or shortly after i get wheels!

wanting to put the following on and Id like to know if i can run them safely without any scrubbing and to clear the struts and calipers and to not be sticking out the guards too much! (or is that too much to ask lol)


Tyres 235/40/R18 all round

Front : 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 + 22 to + 35 (roughly)

Rear 18x9.5 +22 to +30 (either or in between)

im after the most aggressive deep sort of look on my car, so any reccomendations and or opinions would be great!

looking at getting some varrstoen Es3's or Es6's or some Rotas..im too undecided there all so good!

Cheers!

Front : 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 + 22 to + 35 (roughly) go at least +30-22. Will need rolled guards. Varsstoen have low disc so I'm not sure they will clear calipers.

Rear 18x9.5 +22 to +30 (either or in between) will be fine, a little poke.

So I think I've finally decided on a wheel size that I want for my R34 gtt 18x9.5+20 all round. (Now just need to find some BBS RGR's)

The thing is, I wanted to go with the same tyre size all around too, I couldn't find anyone or anything on the forum, but has anyone run 255/35 on the fronts? Closest I've seen was 245

Plenty of people have but you would be better going with a higher quality 235/40 if its a street car as it will grip just as well and will be lot easier to fit. Unless you are running 400kw or something crazy

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
