Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Hey guys,

been looking through this thread and other forums for ages trying to decide on a good wheel fitment for an r33 s2 gtst. Seems like 18x9 +20 would be a decent fit for an r33 all around flush fitment that wont foul suspension and can be cambered in to prevent scrubbing on guard liners. Have seen examples of this size in a set of work xd9s (dontyellpl0x) and a set of rota grids (boosted_andy). Would consider anything similar to 18x9.5+30 but it seems that at this wheel size its a bit hit and miss whether or not it will foul suspension/brakes. What wheels are still being made in 18x9+20 (grids and xd9s/d9rs not available in this size anymore) or 18x9.5+30 which dont foul brakes? Dont want to mess with spacers.Want to run 235/40 all around. All guards already rolled ,dont want to bin guard liner.

Cheers guys.

9.5+30 will fit.

Will the car be low? If so you are better to lip the front guards

235 is too small for 9.5 and marginal for 9in.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to pickup a set of these wheels in 18x9 for my R34 GTT:

http://marsperformance.com.au/MARS-MP-37-4x-18-Inch-Matt-Bronze-Alloy-Wheels-Rims-5-x-1143

I don't believe the car is lowered and I would prefer to not roll the guards. These are the tyres I'm looking to fit:

https://www.tyresales.com.au/buy/tyre/kumho/ecsta_le_sport_ku39/235-40r18/1383?q=4

The offset available for the wheels is 15mm and 22mm.

What wheel sizes should I order in order to get a flush fit without having to roll the guards? Will the 235/40/R18 also fit properly?

Thanks

Update: I've been recommended 15mm on the back and 22mm on the front which is what this R34 is using (although on 225/40/R18 tyres):

What do you guys think? Will 235 be ok?

Yes, 235 will be fine.

If you are concerned about legality, I would go for the +22. The 15 will be a fairly aggressive fitment and assuming you are not lowering the car. I have 9.5+20, which is close to your 9+15, and my rims poke both front and back, even with camber.

Thanks for that.

More concerned about aesthetics than legality to be honest... haha. I think the picture above might be 15mm at the back and 22mm at the front however, doesn't look like it pokes out too much?

Depends on what angle you look on. Here is 9.5+20, with some camber. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change my offset for the world, I think it is perfect, but the cops wouldn't like it that's for sure. If you're only worried about form, go for it. You could run +15 all round if you wanted to. It's pokey, but not mexican.

I attempted to use search for this, but it came up empty.

I searched for a known size, still naught.

Don't think it likes numbers.

So........

Anyone know/ have pics of 18x10.5 +22 on a 32 gtr?

How close are we going to get to guards, suspension?

That front one is deceptive though. You can easily pull the front guards out enough to reduce the poke.

I had 9.5+12 up front with no flaring and less poke than that :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
