R33 Gtr Wheels

[yld34t]

Hi, I was wondering if R33 GTR wheels are a good upgrade for an R34 GTT for track work? Do they clear everything, or are mods required and are the offsets suitable? Are they light and strong enough to make them worth using for this purpose? Thanks!

They clear everything and fit well, i have a set and they are good for track work as they are 9" wide and can take decent size tyres. The only mods you will have to do is flare the gaurds if your car is lowered.

Thanks for the advise mate. Just one more question.......by flaring the gaurds do you mean lipping, or does actual flaring have to take place if the car is lowered (which mine is)? Thanks again!

I think he means lipping. They fit pretty well but if you're doing track work you will probably not have it so low that you need to lip your guards.

Anyway with the right choice of tyre that is unnecessary anyway.

Again, thanks for the advise! By the right tyre choice, would I be correct in assuming a 235/45/17 would fit under the gaurds nicely with the R33 GTR wheels?

235-45-17 is the perfect size for a 9 inch rim, especially for price, availability and guard fitment.

maybe wider on the rear for drag use, but otherwise no need.

cheap brands can be had for $100 brand new, but offer no grip. or up to $300 brand new with great grip

Does anyone know if R33 gtr rims fit on an r33 gtst without modification?

[Sticky]

they should.

they will easily fit the rear, with the front it may depend on camber and tyre size as to whether they fit.

the rim will fit for sure, its only a matter of what size tyre.

i have seen many GTST's with GTR rims

Offset may be the only issue.

[Sticky]

as it too high an offset or too low?

i would have thought it would be that the offet needs to be more a +25 for a better fit?

I had them on my R33 GTS-t

had 235/45/17 on them

at full lock going over bumps, they would slightly rub at the front

but that rarely happens, not a problem for daily use

how good an upgrade would you call them? did they make much difference to handling?

I had RE55S on them..

so HELL YEA! ahha

pretty heavy though, compared to the enkeis I used for the street.

Could feel the obvious difference in weight when you're turning the steering wheel
