how would these offsets fit/look on an r33 s2?

im assuming no mods to gaurds?

would fit well and not require any mods to the guards as far as i can tell even when fitting full width tyres to those rim sizes. (235/35 & 265/35). Cant garuantee it will if you plan to dump it on its arse tho...

Also cant comment on whether the spokes will clear the calipers but by the look of the design and the offset it should do.

rears would be ok but the fronts would be swallowed up under the guards with that kind of width n offset- n look shit IMO.

could spacers be used to push them out to fill out the guards more? or would they still look shit?

well spacers are always an option in their own right. but there are several issues with them.

1- they are illegal in most states (defect notice material)

2- it is very hard to get the wheel centred on there well with spacers which = vibration through the steering and excessive wear on your wheel assembly/steering system

3- it can also upset the handling

just thought id post up how i went with the rims:

Fronts: 17x8 +45, 235/45/17

Rears: 17x9 +35, 255/45/17

rears sit flush with guards, fronts sit flush but ended up using a 5mm spacer each side.

make sure she is all bolted up properly n then take it out for a run on the freeway and see if you have any steering vibration. (or does it wander easily or tramline etc)

Hey guys thinking of running XXR 526's on my 33 GTST.

18x9 +35

18x9 +25

Would these for without guard rolling etc? Only thing I'm mildly concerned about is that the spokes may not clear the standard brakes.

maybe, maybe not. at stock ride height probably but otherwise it would be touch n go. Tho u will also get away with it if you run stretched tyres. (but please dont, its sacrilidge...)

Anyone successfully pumped an inch more room out of 33 gtst rear guards?

easy, but there is chance of paint cracking... i'd say i got around an inch out of mine without cracking on the outside at all

great thread ,will post up pics and specs when i get my new wheels . hopefully next week :)

will want to lip them, but that's all

18x9.5 +12 on the front and 18x10.5 +22 on the rears ?i was thinking the rears might need a little flare ?fronts hopefully should be fine with some neg camber witch i'm allready running . but will only know once i get them on .

is this for a GTST? if so you are dreaming. Or crossing the border into mexico in a bad way.

if you can be bothered check thru the 'car parts' for sale section. There was a guy selling rims like this which he ahd on his GTST (red one from memory). There are pics. If its your thing then go for it.

But defect notices are also the cop's thing

i have 18x9.5+12 all round at the moment, and the 10.5+22 is only 3mm more

so yeh... easy fit with a roll/flare or camber. front guard liners will have to be removed

i dont run camber to fit my rears for traction reasons, but with a little pull they fit easily

yeah i'm running 0 camber in the rears and about neg 2 in the fronts , anyways when i get them i will post pics of how they sit before any guard work is done .

And heres it on 18s.

18x9-1 215/40/18 *fronts*

18x10+16 235/40/17 *rears*

248814_10150280508124258_685484257_9075653_4871415_n.jpg

camber; -3deg front / -2deg rears

jjman

i couldnt find the forsale thread but i did find this ,thats the sort of flare i want on the rears and even though my rims will be half a inch wider front and back this guy is running heaps lower offsets ,so mine shouldnt be that bad ?

  • 3 weeks later...

Would 18x9.5 +22 wearing 265's all round fit a R33gtst with rolled guards on rge rear and no liners on the front STD guards?

Camber wise I run -3 on the front and -1.5 on rear with around 350 mm centre of wheel to guard.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • 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.
