Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Hi guys, thinking of getting some wheels for my r33 gtst off one of the traders. Been reading the thread but still wanted opinions from some of the more experienced members. I was looking at getting the following specs:

18 x 9 +15 for the fronts

18 x10 +15 for the rears

Looking at running 235s for the front and possibly anything above 235s for the rear. I will be purchasing camber arms and rolling/ flaring my guards as necessary. My questions are:

- how agressive is this fitment? I want to achieve the wide stance without overly sacrificing the life of my tyres. I do understand that camber will come into play, but I would like to avoid having to change my tyres every month just to achieve a particular look

- would 235s at the rear be sacrificing traction? If so, what would be a better recommendation? As I said I'm willing to roll/flare and purchase camber arms, so what combination would be best for the rear

Oh and I forgot to mention that I will be purchasing some coilovers also, but won't be lowering the car to a ridiculous height since I have a driveway I have to get in and out of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

id be keen to see the results of that combo, thats an inch wider than mine on the back, i dont think you want too much more camber on the back, its got enough already

it would be awesome round a track though.

Mate do you have any pictures of how your car sits? I'd like to have a visual just so I have a benchmark to compare against. And what did you mean about the camber in the back?

Just took the plunge and bought myself some Ame Circlar Spec R in 18x9 +15 and 18x10 +15 from one of the traders (Autotechnik). I'll post up some pics when all the work is done. Probably in a couple of months. :)

you'll need alot of camber in the rear, and the front on stock guards will fit with a roll but will have to stretch

tyre life wont be good at all.

should have pics of my 9.5+13 and 10+9 end of next week.

Awesome, looking forward to the pics. Also I spoke to PhilB (from this site and JDMST forums) and he said that he ran similar specs and for the rear, with a bit of rolling and a flare/pull he was able to minimise the amount of camber that had to be run. So fingers crossed I suppose. And luckily for me the skyline isn't a daily driver so hopefully that will minimise tyre wear. :)

My car for example. Previous wheel: (f) 17x9.5 +0 and ® 18x10.5 +15 lots of camber on the front, something like -4 and stretched tyres all round

Awesome, thanks for the photo blags. Car looks awesome!

;)

pretty sure 10+15 will need fair bit of camber if you are only rolling, my camber arms are on full for the 10+20

So alex, your guards were just rolled? I'll be getting mine pulled and/or flared at the rear so hopefully this will allow me to run less camber. So what is the maximum camber setting at the rear for an r33 (in degrees)?

Anyone fitted 18 x 10 + 15 on there 32 gtr? any photos? modifications required?

was thinking of putting 255's or do you guys reckon definately 265's.

Cheers,

Thanks

did u end up fitting the 18x10 +15 rims, got pics or comments on the fit?

Thanks for input earlier guys, ended up getting the 18x10's with +22

So next question i have is tyres

Obviously there are so many to choose from but ones i'm looking at are Toyo's flagship T1 Sport tyres

Sizes i was considering were either 265/35, 275/35 or 285/35

I'm kinda leaning towards 275 at moment

Anyone know if i'll have any clearance problems if i choose the 275 or 285 options?

any updates? pics?

im looking at 18x10 +15 on R32 R

I'm running 18x10.5 +15 TE37s on an R32 GTR with 265/35R18 semi slicks on them and I had to get the guards rolled slightly and the rear raised a tad.

They stick out a little but look f**king awesome IMO.

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
