guys- who's running 18x10 +22 or near size wheels & how much camber are you running to tuck them?

currently has 235/40 and they stick out a good 15-20mm~

got defected for them sticking out so only solution is to tuck them in as i dont want to change wheels,

last alignment i had was -1.4

i'm thinking close to -1.8-2 as i will be lowering it bit 20mm more so the top of the tyre just tucks in.

I am assuming this is on a ST/T, not an R.

At that offset the entire rim will never be inside the guard. Adding more camber will just make the bottom poke out more.

Near flush on a GTST rear with a 10" wide is 30-35 offset and a 1.3"ish" in. Not sure what your regulations are to maintain a roadworthy car where you are at but it sounds like you'd have to either change your offset or possibly get flares to cover up. The others on here will have better insight on your local laws than I.

Another question guys. Looking at a set of wheels and I'm not too savvy.

They're 18" and 8" wide all round ET40. for my r33. Says 73.1 centre bore. Just wondering how they'll fit/sit. Cheers for the help :)

Get something with lower offset (e.g. +20-+30 for an 8"). Also depends how you want the wheels to sit.

Those ones will sit pretty much like the standard wheels.

  • 2 weeks later...

Skyline model = r33 gtst

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width =9

Wheel offset =+20 on the rear that's all I'm looking at

Tyre size = 225 or 235

Modifications to fit = ?

Dose anyone have pics how it will sit. Car is lowered on coilovers

  • 1 month later...

Skyline model = R33 GTST
Wheel diameter = 17
Wheel width = 8/9
Wheel offset =+40
Tyre size = 225/255
Modifications to fit = None

Wheel: Inter Milano 17" Wheels

On the other hand

Skyline model = R33 GTST
Wheel diameter = 18
Wheel width = 9/9
Wheel offset =+15
Tyre size = 225/40 245/45
Modifications to fit = Won't fit, hits side skirts, hits guards, hits everything. Need smaller profile.

Wheel: D1R's

Car isn't all that low either. I have 115mm clearance at the lowest point. I've gotta wrap the new wheels with 35 profile on the rear and can MAYBE get away wit 40's up front.

what would be the better option for an r32 gtst 2 door, 17x8.25+25 or 17x8.25+35? will be running 235/45 tyres all around, i know i can tuck both under stock guards but i want to be able to tuck the rears with between 0-1 degree negative camber so which would be the better option? guards are currently all stock but wouldnt mind rolling them, not to keen on doing much more, thanks!

Might as well post up my current setup

Skyline model = R32 GTST

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9

Wheel offset =+27

Tyre size = 225

Modifications to fit = bit of camber on the rear from lowering the car

Wheel: Rota g-force

Does anyone have issues with front wheels unable to full lock steer or touching the front most point of the side skirts in their 33? I don't know why but just looking at my car from the side, the wheels look to sit further back of the centre of the wheel arch...

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
