a little stretch is good as there is less flex in the sidewall and you get better response from the tire. You have ordered the 235 already so just run with it....worse comes to worse replace when you are due for a new set with 255s

Yeah, i agree. The difference it makes is not worth the price but as you said, if and when i need to replace them, i'll go for the 255's. I am confident that 18x10 +20 rims with 255/40 tyres would fit on the rear however, i am not actually 100% sure so probably best to be safe than sorry.

Thanx for your help.

Found out they are 19x10+17

Trial fitting tomorrow then choosing the tyre size. Bloke reckons prob 265 max on there.

Will put up pics when fitted. Fingers crossed. Definately going to fill the guards. lol

Pic of rims fitted. 19x 10 +17 255 tyres

No heights have been set up for track/curcuit and car counter wieghted each courner so low enough. Plus tyres hang out past the guards. Dont want to camber them as i will loss traction when car launchs.

More photos of my car.

Size: 18inch

Width: 9.5inch

Offset: 22+

Tires: 235/40/18 (the 40 could be wrong I cant recall it)

The backs could do with a spacer to add a little poke.

Currently has a fair bit of camber which I dont like.

Will get that fixed asap

I don't mean to alarm you but the stig is behind you..

what would fit nicer out of 18x9.5+12 and 18x9.75+20 on a r33 gtst?

interesting question however depends on what you want to achieve here. Couple of things below

  • Rims are virtually the same size only mm's (roughly 3mm wider each side) in it!
  • The +12 is still going to have more poke (towards the guard) by roughly 5mm of or so
  • what tyre size do you want to run? Again as its only 5mm give or take overall not much difference

hope that helps you a touch

Ok just picked up a cheap set of rims, not as good as some on here but there better than the standard ones on there now.

What will I need to do to get them to fit, just guard rolling?

Front 19x8 235/35

Rear 19x9.5 275/30

Sorry for my knob question but wont to know what im getting myself into this weekend when I try and fit them.

Thanks

what are the offsets? judging by the photo id say pretty high +30s low 40s?? my guess is not much at all maybe slightly roll the inner guard lip on the rear due to tyre size but should be a breeze

yeah from what i worked out i dont think there is much in it at all,

was hoping to run a 215 40 or 45 or would i be better going a 225 35?

the reason i ask is the rims only come in 9.75+20 so was hoping itl fit with some poke

yeah all those tyre sizes will be fine on that offset! see post #2208 with 235/40/18 tyres on R33 will give you an idea :D

Just put the rims on only just fit, will be rolling the guards.

Question, how close are everyones tyres to the struts, looks a little to close???

Will 265 help that much??/

offset 40+

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
