R33 Rims

[jakegts]

Hey,

I'm looking to purchase a set of Nismo LM GT3 rims that are 18''x9'' with +26 all round for tyres....

I am very curious to know if they would fit under a 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T...

I am far from being the most technical person so basically i am wondering if they would fit if i had the guards rolled or they are just to large to fit under the wheel wells even if they are rolled?

Are the Stud patterns the same?

Would my camber be destroyed if i put them on or is it a direct bolt on?

If camber is destroyed where and how much would i be able to find a fully adjustable camber kit to make them work?

Help on this subject would be awesome so i know whether to purchase them or not...

Please help me out...

Thanks...

Jake

They will of course bolt on, which will be great for photos but driving will be another issue. Being GTR wheels, they're deigned to fit under much wider guards and fitting these onto a GTS25t will have them hanging out the guards by at least 10mm meaning guard clearance issues. There may also be issues with the rim width of 9" (not sure), you'd be better off getting something more suitable that won't give you a headache and burn a hole in your pocket at the same time (despite looking awesome!)

Maybe check out 350Z or Maxima wheels.

Wheel selection won't alter your camber, good luck.

I have already purchased new front guards that are wide body (20mm wider on each guard)... So i hoping the front will be fine but i am more concerned about the rear guards...

Will they fit flush or will they be hanging out the sides? (even if the guards are rolled, and being that they are 9'' wide)

Or even worse rubbing on the interior guard or undertray and destroy the rubber...

Please post up again once this is read as i am quite eager to get them...

Any help would be much much much appreciated...

the best thing about the r33's is you can fit whatever width wheel/tyres you want (within reason ofcorse). you shouldnt have any clearance problems with standard rims and tyres from another car. i had 19x10's on the rears and they were fine.

this is a pic of my car jacked up on these rims.. they sat fine:

[jakegts]

YEAH!!!

Thanks man, i really appreciate your help...

Will have the Nismo LM GT3 Rims on in no time...

Thanks again...

the rear wont be a problem....90% of people with 18's on their 33 have 9.5's on the rear...its the front you'd be worried about...and there's ppl with 34 GTR wheels (18x9+30), who have rolled the front guards, and they fit fine

ive got 9.5" rears on my r33 gts-t and they sit on hte guard with no issues.

BUT i only have 8" fronts as 9" hang out on the standard guards, but if u have 20mm extra on the new front guards u shouldnt have any issues

[jakegts]

Also, what size tyres should i be thinking about getting?

The seller suggested that i change the existing tyres from 265's to 235" or there abouts...

Will it make a dramatic difference if i do change them or will it be fine if i stick with the 265's for a while?

[mr_crust]

front go with 225 or 235 so they dont rub and rears 265

I'm in the process of fitting 17x9's with an offset of +22 to my gts-t and yeah as someone said.. burning a hole in my pocket.. but i love the rims

I'll be getting camber kits to help out a bit and flaring the guards, we'll see how it goes then. Haven't seen the rear on but the fronts stick out like nothing else.

But I say, the main problem is just the fronts and you have wider guards for them.. so just do it! Maybe look at flaring the rear even if you don't need it so it doesn't look so odd with fat front guards!

but yeah i say DO IT!

[jakegts]

So i will need to get a fully adjustable camber kit too?

How much will they retail for? Where can i find one?

[SECURITY]

my 19x10 fix without any camber kit or anything.. heres a pic of it the moment i got them on my car... it looked like a 4wd but they didnt rub which is the important part. if you dont want to fork out money on camber kits or whatever, just lower the car according to how much space you've got.

[jakegts]

I have got D2 coilovers so i can just adjust to make them fit without rubbing....

thanks man, i will see how they go...

[SECURITY]

i forgot to add that my guards are rolled but it cleared them fine even without the guard rolling.

[jakegts]

Thanks for all the help from everyone...

Ok, to afford the LM GT3 Nismo rims i will have to sell my current rims, they will be posted in the for sale section but i thought it appropriate to put them in here also...

Price : $1600

They are 4 x DOLCE DC-6's that are 19'' x 8'' (Fronts: WANLI S-1099 245/35 75% Tread... Rears:FALKEN AZENIS ST-115 245/35 80% Tread )

There are 1 very small mark on a Rim from when a car has kicked up a stone...

(not the long grey cord, that was from digital camera, about a cm to the left is a tiny mark, sorry bout quality but was best i could do and it really is a tiny mark)

Would have to be local pickup only too sorry, would not know where to begin to ship rims off to another place... Local pick up would be Wollongong or the Illawarra area...

The rims are perfect and look outstanding on Skylines... If interested please PM me or Leave a msg in here or in for sale section or msg my phone on 0421 545 240

Thanks... Jake
