Hey all,

Can someone here (hellllo jack, aaron etc etc :P ) confirm that 18x10.5 +18 offset volks will fit my 33 GTR with no mods required?

Not worried about brake clearance problems, more so whether they will stick out of the guards or rub on suspension components...

Cheers

Ant.

Cheers Snowie :happy:

Dane, I've had that bookmarked for about a year mate :laugh: Great info and from that I can work out whether they are going to stick out of the guards or not but its a little more difficult to work out whether they will rub on susp during use.....

Hey Ant, you should be able to work out if it's going to hit the strut too, just a little harder to get in their and measure.

You should be able to tell pretty quickly whether you have 15mm of extra room to spare between the strut and the stock rims though, maybe get a small ruler in there??

Hahaha and therein lies my problem :laugh: Despite my car not being excessively low it is really hard to squeeze under the car to grab a measure so I end up feeling the gab blind....I was also unsure if they would hit/rub during cornering or during suspn travel.

Figured it was best to ask those who have done it before :happy:

Just a note.......don't get larger than 275 width tyres...cause with mine I had to do some cutting.

The tyres were rubbing on full lock....and it was only one side.....might have been hit before and

not correctly alligned but yeah...my 2c worth.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
