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

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
