Assuming BNR32, roll the rear guards, roll the front guards. Will most likely rub the plastic inner liner on the front (depending on wheel alignment and height).

I have 275/35 RS-3 on 10" +20 (want to go 285 next time). The front tyres will try to make room :P

So you don't think i'd get away with not rolling the guards at all? Pending which alignment/camber i go? Car won't be too low either about 140mm from the ground

When I had 265 on the wheels, they rubbed on the rear but the front just got away with 'rounded' tyres. But I bought a guard roller and heat gun to roll my self, wasn't hard.

Cambers are (approximately) -1.5° rear and -2.5° front. I think my caster is a bit high (6°-ish), which is probably why it was rubbing on the plastic liner.

Hey guess I need some advice , sorry I'm not good with this whole offset thing and I looked at your reference and still don't understand. 

 

I have a 1989 r32 Gtst Sadan 4 door 

will 18x 8.5 offset +43 fit my car or will I need spacer or it just won't fit ?? 

 

Can you guys guys give me advice please . Just before I buy something that won't work

Here is my R33 Skyline GTS-t with 18" Enkei RPF1

Front 18X9.5 + 15. 235 tyre with -3 degrees of camber

Rear 18x10 + 38 (5mm spacer) 265 tyre with -2 degrees of camber.

I could just squeeze my fingernail under the rear guard

Not sure if anyone reads this page much these days ?

 

I want to change my wheels on my r33 gts-t above.  You can see at the back with 10+38 (plus a 5mm spacer) with a 265, I still have bit of room to play with using the -2 negative camber.  I would like maximum width at the back - would like a 275 or 285 ideally.  If i go 10.5 at the rear would i need to keep it around +35 to +40 to fit a 275 or 285 tyre  ?

Why don't you put 275 or 285 on the 10" wheel?

 

If i keep the wheels i will go 275 or 285, Ive had the wheels a few years now and wanted to get a different wheel so was looking around the 10.5 +40 range.  Not having much luck, most wheel offsets seem to be +22 in the 10.5 which i dont' reckon i would get a 275 or 285 tyre on ? I would have to prob stretch a 245 or something to make it fit...

R33 GTR, planning on putting some 18x10.5 +12. Will be lowered, but not much. Used mainly for pleasure, no racing or track. Don't want to roll fenders. Want to put some 285s but I'm not sure if they will rub. 285 30s? 275 35? Any help will be appreciated.

In the same boat, car or situation?, but will have 18x10 +30 te37sl. want a non stretched tyre fitment so assuming 275/35/18 approx. rear guards not rolled fronts are. Scrubbing? Fit without rolling Rear  guards? Thanks for any help !

So I ended up going TE37 RT 18x10.5 +15 .. Will be running -3.5 Camber at the front and -2.0 / -2.5 at the rear and not modifying the guards (Weekend/track car)

pics when you got em!

I thought my -2.5° up front was heaps lol.

It will be completely functional and not for "stance" crap.. It's more so that I don't want to roll guards, If i can get away with less neg camber then I will.

Does anyone know how to measure up guards from the brakes to the lip to work out custom sizes?

Ive got some rocket bunny fenders coming across and im going to fit the to my 32 gtst.  so i cant see what others have got and go from there. the rims im looking at i can choose from anywhere from 18×7.0 to 8×11.5 and offsets avaliable from the high positives to the high negatives.

Is there any how to or what not, to measuring up the guards?

Check with GReddy or whoever you're getting them from, they usually give a guide of what size wheel

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
