Post Up Your R33!

[Jap_star]

Righto, so I got all enthousiastic tonight and decided to take some more snaps...

She needs more low, but I reckon I'll save that for another day when it aint daily driven.

what sizes regs? looks like 17x9 +18?

[JadGTST33]

Haha, nah my offsets aint nearly that tuff!

The trick is to fit correct size tyres for the rims (235/45 and 255/40 here) and also make sure the camber isn't too negative.

They're 17 x 8 + 35 with 235/45 fronts, still at around -2 degrees camber though, and 17 x 9 + 38 with 255/40 and -0.5 degrees on the rear.

I'd prefer to have the fronts more flush too, but this setup gives me less scrub as a daily driver (even with rolled guards)

Oh, and I'd heard that Regamasters were pretty light, but I was amazed once I actually had the old rubber off them.

I didn't have any scales handy, but I reckon they'd be lucky to be 4kg per rim!

[Jap_star]

you can fit a 255/40 on a 9 +18. ive just bought a set of Regas to go with my TE37 SLs, 18x9.5 +18 and ill be going a 245/40

thats a massive tyre.. spose you want good traction or something

[Jap_star]

how mine sits currently

[Tai1or Made]

All these black on black 33's are making me moist.

Haha, I aint no drifter. I have a spare set of Dunlop semi slicks stored under covers for special occasions!

On another note, I think we met ages back on a V.I.C. cruise to Arthurs Seat. I have Advan Tri-spokes back then.

Jap_star, love your genuine TE's... no Vaarstoen copy there!

I've just always wanted 235's and 255's to perfectly match 8's and 9's... get the same style tyre sidewall etc.

Oh, I almost forgot. How the hell do you attach a full pic like yours? All mine come out like thumbnails!

Hey guys i just picked up my first skyline a few weeks ago, thought id post up some pics. Fairly stock, just pod/exhaust and a bride seat with a boost guage. Loving the car and looking into doing a few mods soon.

[Joe_89]

You can always go 275/40 lol

Looks mint mate, congrats

To add a touch more black...

Cheers, yeah im thinking of getting rims next, i really like the TE37's haha, i like the stance you got there with your car. Whats the general consensus on sizes and offsets for a r33 without rolling the guards, kinda of a broad question but i wouldnt mind some feedback on what you think for mine.Ive been reading about staggered fitts? just unsure of the offsets really.

Cheers Josh

Well alot of people will tell you that you cant go bigger than 9.5" on the back and 8.5" on the front. But mine are 10" on the back and 9" on the front with no guard rolling (as you can see in the picture)

However, mine has a little camber from the lowered springs, and they are 17's where as most people prefer 18's

But I look at my car in pictures like this one and think 17's are enough

(There are 255's on the back in this pic though lol)

[blags]

Pics from this weekend... More black

[Jap_star]

i think we need to shoot our cars together boys. One more pic needed, as this page is pretty good

[Spark911]

always loved your car blags, doesn't look as hella-slammed as usual tho? lol...good to see your back on rpf1's tho, nice looking rim

[blags]

Not as low as it was, raised and aligned properly for a few track days. Will probably be getting them painted soon and some more changes to the car

[TaKz]

combo break the black cars currently running 18x10+18 on the rear 0 camber due to alignment and trying to source front rims to suit but going to test fit some in the next couple days
