Skyline model = R33 GTS-T

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5J (F) & 9.5J (R)

Wheel offset = NA

Tyre size = 235/40//18 (F) & 255/35/18 (R)

Modifications to fit = none... so for. (Yet to test drive)

afternoon all,

Im looking at rims for my 32gtst.

Im liking the work emotion XT7 range.

The guards will be rolled and have front adjustable and rear adjustable arms. I dont want top pull the guards at all but happy to run some camber. 

they come in 18 X 9.5 - [5-100, 5-114.3 / +12, +22, +30, +38] - Deep concave

10.5 +22 Ultra deep

What do you think my go to will be front and rear

You're not getting 10.5s on it at either end, without wider guards. So just forget that.

The real question will be whether you could ever get 9.5s on the front. They might just be able to squeeze on the back, given camber arms.

I go back to the one true known thing, which is that R33 GTR wheels fit and they are 9" +30. A 9.5 will need to find up to an extra half inch of clearance, probably on the outside. it might be better if there was a +25 option.

The other thing to remember is that the rear subframe tends to sit off to one side, so you have different guard to wheel alignment from side to side. This is fine most of the time, but when you are trying to cram absolutely everything in......

You gotta keep in mind when people talk fitment in 2023, the rim and tyre are two seperate entities.

a 9.5 +27 fits in the same space a 9 +30 does... if the measurement you are actually using is a 265/35/18 tyre mounted to it..... I am sure you know where I'm going with this.

Of course, to a degree a rim will physically hit suspension components or be 30mm outside the guard even if the tyre is inside it. Of course you and I would say that's stupid, but instagram may disagree.

Haha I definitely don't want to go hella flush lol. It's more about liking the deep concave wheel look over the semi concave.

Very useful. Or measure. As GTSBoy said, 17x9 +30 just about lines up perfect with the outside of the guard.

10.5 +22 is 27mm beyond the guard.

Yeah. You could re-lip the rears to 9-9.5" if you like.

Thanks for that. Should they be a flush fit do you know. I did think of a re-lip but a decent price and quality in the UK is hard to come by.

They won't be flush at 8"+28.

Say what? There would have to be hundreds of trustworthy wheel houses in the US. You have 15x Australia's population and I can think of 5 people I would trust to do work on wheels, just in my state of 1.7M people. And price is not a factor. Quality work on wheels is not cheap anywhere.

Will they stick further in or out do you know? 

By the time I have shipped the wheels out to the US it will cost loads so ideally somewhere local in the UK.  

There is a company called Rimscarnated

that seem to do nice work which is a option.

Just bought an R34 GTT from Garage Defend and want to get some more aggressive wheels for it to fill these fenders (guards). My car has a GTR front end conversion with some sort of rear overfender which I don’t know how much the extension is from stock. I’m guessing +25mm wider?

Couple questions I have is how much wider is the GTR OEM fenders than stock GTT?

How much wider are GTR Ztune fenders compared to stock GTT?

I am looking to do a 19x9.5 -3 and 19x10.5 +/- 0. 

245/35/19 Front 

265/35/19 rear

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
