i wouldnt go any bigger than 19's. they fit on my 33 with a front spacers. but if i have a full load in the back and hit a big bump it slightly scuffs the guards. at full lock it doesnt rub either so i would assume with no mods that 20s wouldnt fit. 18s would be sweet for the all round package., but i just coundnt help myself with 19s :P also i have stock suspension set up. not sure of my offset but they dont stick out and a almost perfectly alligned with the body (pic doesnt look it)

post pics if ya get em!

I have seen 20's fit on r33's without modification. Its all about getting wheels with the right offset and brake clearance; Jake33 unfortunately doen't have either.

I would personally not go bigger than 19's. I have had 19's on my car for the past 5yrs, and haven't had too much issues. I am currently looking to down size my rim size to 18's, as you loose power and response with 19's, due to the larger rolling diameter.

Here is a few pics of my rims which i will soon be selling ;)

i have 19"10 and wouldnt go bigger, i have lowered it and it looks very nice, well i think so. any bigger wont look worse, but will be very ruff ride and plenty of scrubbing out...

definitely go 20s nothing pulls bitches like a set of chrome 20s on a 33..

In all seriousness though. Anything over 18 is too big imo. 34s can pull 19s and 20s as long as they are the right type of wheel. 33s end up looking like shit with anything over 18s.

not bad for a tractor.. :thumbsup:

Cant believe you guys are saying 19's are too big!!! 19s are the perfect size for 33s imo. i cant wait to get some on mine!

Most 18s look too small unless you get some nice lightweight style rims or 34gtr stockers.

I agree that 20s are too big unless your a cruiser who doesnt care about performance.

just look at a 33 gtr with 19" te37s!!! gawd lol

    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.
