I'm currently looking at a new set of Rims for my R33 if anyone is interested in my staggered fit chrome 5 spoke style 19x7.5 front-19x8.5 rear (spacers for caliper clearance provided) with decent tread on them let me know. but to my main purpose of this post.

i am getting a set of Koya drift tech rims for my car. i will be putting slightly bigger brakes on my car eventually, if i get a set of 18x8.5 all round with a 30p offset does that seem like enough clearance for bigger brakes and also will they scrub badly on the front at full lock?? any advice would be great and no i don't want to go a staggered fit as an ex tyre fitter different width rims is just impractical for tyre life

Hamish or other knowledgable people.

Lot of talk here regarding 18x9+30 in the front of a R34 GTT or GTST. GTR Rims, sizing etc.

Lot of people run thin tyres on them, which 'fit'

Can you fit a 265 tyre on a 18x9+30 rim at the front of a 34 GTT?

Does it need guard work? Does it scrub? Etc etc.

Basically want the most tyre I can fit in there.

For bonus query, I plan to run about -3deg camber at the front, and have about 355mm center of wheel to guard.

/shake fist at all you tyre stretching people skewering results.

Let me know how it goes. I just bought track rims 18x9.5+22 255/40 and am yet to test fit. Would like to know what kind of issues (if any) you have with yours.

I mocked it up and it SHOULD fit.

that will fit. you will need to pull the guards a little, but not flare by any means

Looking for size and offsets to fit an R34 gtt 50mm rear fender wide body if anyone's accomplished this?

Thinking 18x11+18?

Also what's the best for pumped front guards? 18x9.5+20?

I'm probably way off.. haha..

ok... so i hate to ask this but i need some fine tuned answers from people who know more than me or have tried.

will these work on an R32gtr

18x10.5, +17 and +21

im currently running 18X9.75+20

the existing tires are 265-35-18 and im going to run them again.

i know it will be a little stretched but cmon not allot. and they will fit the guards a bit better without too much camber.

current setup looks like this.

IMG_4214-2_zps4qjufjsa.jpgIMG_4245-6_zpsirg4vlos.jpg

from my calculations they will not get too mad.

in my eyes its gonna fit fine.... but when i look at 10.5 and r32... it dosnt seem like it should.

do you think i will need to roll the guards? i already know my inner liners will probably need to be removed as they DO scrub on hard cornering with the current setup. but the top of the tire will not actually move... hmmm

thoughts?

these are the comparisons.

First of all I think your current set up looks pretty good. The 265s will be not ideal but OK on 10.5 tyres but with virtually the same offset do you have enough clearance on the inside under cornering? Your outside guard might need a little massaging but not too much.

Ill get under the car and see if 10mm close to the strut will become an issue.

Their a front and rear set and the offset is what it is so i dont get to choose.

I do like the xxrs but their not what is staying on the car. A set has come up which are more my style.

Rears will be an eeeeeeeasy fit. A little inside the guards

Fonts will need a roll only

  • 3 weeks later...

Skyline model = R33 GTS-T
Wheel diameter = 18"
Wheel width = 9"
Wheel offset = +27
Tyre size = 245/40
Modifications to fit = Rolled guards

Hello, thanks to all the great information on here I have finally decided on my setup. IMO this is perfect, I really wanted to get the same width and offset rim all around so the concave would be the same. If anyone is interested they are Rota Boosts in Gunmetal. Here are some pictures.

Thanks :cheers:

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
