Yeah it does. You can have bigger than 18in. They will have to be skinny and sit well into the guards.

I wasnt after a rough answer though id like to know what i can fit with stock gaurds... wat offset and width in an 18, what offset and width in a 19. not just "you can have big if you get skinny"

well atm ive got 18x8 +38 and 18x9 +38 fronts are much more sunken then the rears.

i've been told 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5+35 will be pretty much in line with guards and should fit without guard work

so i guess anything from +30 - +40 should be fine with the widths of 8-8.5 front and 9-9.5 rears.

i'm no expert but this is what ive found just searching around

so im assuming i couldnt get anything over an 18"

i was answering this, i was explaining that you can go over 18" and what ud have to do to go over 18"

if u'd read what i and many others have posted ud realise it isnt as simple as us telling u an exact offset and width, this is what im trying to explain. if you want to know what other people have used and got away with then read the rest of the thread, that is what it's for.

hey all,

been approached by a friend to buy his rims..

SSR PROFESSORS,

18 x 9 +26 (F)

18 x 10.5 + 26 ®

what are the chances of these fitting on my R33 II gtst with a mild flare?

appreciate a reply on this as im rather keen on buying these wheels

cheers

I have 18 x 9.5 +27 for the rear and trial fitting suggested that they would be ~12-15mm outside the standard guard. I think those will be an extra 1/2" further out of the stock guards unless you are running an incredible amount of camber.

hey mate fronts are easy, rears are a bit harder, can be done with a stretched tyre and at least a guard roll, maybe a flare. put simply, u can make them fit.

thanks again

I purchased some 18x9.5 with +20 offset (all round) for my 33 gtst knowing they wouldnt fit, so I made them fit.

With a bit of a "mild flare" they now sit nicley on the car with no rubbing.

Need some help here..Ive got a R34 Sedan and im about to buy a set of wheel. The size is 18 x 10 + 18.. My question is can they fit in my car??? Do i need to roll the guard or spacer or something??? The reason for buying those size wheel is because i want to go wide body.. THX

u will need to at least roll ur guards and u will need to stretch tyres on them, at least a 235/40.

this is a 18x10 +18 on a R34 sedan:

its hard to tell when ur playing with fairly tight tolerances like we are here, expect the wheels to stick out a decent way, but the tyres will stretch in nicely and hopefully clear. but it will depend on ur suspension and camber.

Skyline model = R32 GTS-t

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9f 10r

Wheel offset = +15f +25r

Tyre size = 225/45f 245/40

Modifications to fit = We'll see when they get here :wave: Bring on the fender roller.

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
