Wheels Fitment On A R33

[MAS_R33]

Hi All,

Just picked up some second hand rims and had some questions which i hope someone can help with!

firstly the wheels are as detailed here: http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...amp;part_no=295

Basically my questions are:

1) the wheels are 18*8.5 with an offset of 38 (all same) which with everything i have read seems to mean these will be ok ok for a SII R33

2) I cant actually fit the wheels as the standard wheel nuts are a very tight fit (wheel brace does not fit)... something i didnt realise. Does this mean that i need a wheel brace with an extremely thin wall or are there wheel nuts that will better fit? If so can anyone give me idea of where to get and price?

thanks in advance!

I just use a long reach socket and bar. Should of went 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, fit is spot on.

yeah i agree i would have preferred a little wider on back but didnt have too much of a choice

I might go 235 tyres on back and stick with 225 on front.

So you find that a long reach socket actually fits? (none of mine do).

I wonder if they make wheel braces with ultra thing walls
