Would 18" 8.5 +30mm on the front and 18" 9.5 +30mm on the rear fit a r33 1994 gtst?

I'm not an expert, but I'd say yes, with a caveat on the front.


Your +30 on the front might be a problem pending the wheels. My 18x8.75 +35mm when fitted to the front scrubbed the caliper and just looked balls. I now run +20 on the front and it's much better.

I also had 18x8.75 +35mm on my rear and it left wayyyy too much air in the guard. I now have 18x8.75 +20mm and it fits much better, almost flush. Therefore I reckon your extra inch of rim on the rear will suit a +30mm fine.

Nismo LMGT4 I have are 18x8.5+30 & 18x9.5+38

You can easily find pictures of RWD Nismo wheels. I'd say they would stick outside the guards. Depends how hektikstancenationhashtagvapebro you want your car to be, you can make them fit.

As for brake clearance, offset isn't an indicator, standard R33 GTS-t wheels are 16x6.5 +40. If those XXR wheels can't clear the brakes at 8.75", their caliper backspace is too small (i.e. "deep dish wheel design").

Anyone with bnr32 running 18 x10.5 295/35 ?
thx

I’m running 18x10.5 +15 with 295/35/18’a on my 32 GTST. Extensive work to make em fit but not too hard on a GTR. My front guards are GTR but they’re not a direct fit. Pretty sure they’ll fit rears with a light guard roll.

I take it even flaring is pointless or trying to get GTR gaurds is out of the question?

Anyone want to buy some genuine LMGTs ?

Its theoretically possible, but you need custom/different guards.

No, you can't flare it to fit that much, not without getting them repainted etc etc. The cheapest way is to replace the guards. You're about 15mm too far out as it stands. I was able to fit a 9.5 +27 inside my R34 GTT guards.

Sell and buy some different wheels. The LMGT2's do actually come in 18x9 +32. I would have bought a set of these but they don't clear my (much larger than OEM) brakes.

Hello,

I'm a new '93 R33 GTST skyline owner from the US. Can you guys help me if the following sizes will fit? Or do I need to modify the fenders?

Front: 18x8.5 +35 245/40 or 235/40

Rear: 18x9.5 +22 245/40

The wheels are Varrstoen ES2

Thank you in advance!

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
