got a quote for some gold GTC's, front 18x9 +17, rear 18x10 +11. $3100.sound good? sure they'll fit on a lipped r33 S2? is there room for wider wheels? because I wouldnt mind some 10" front with 11" rears. Or can you go lower offsets like +11 front +5 rear? Since they are available in heaps of sizes I might as well get the most for my money. If they fit...

If you're worried about your wheels not fitting, try using the offset calculator. Just type in your wheels at the moment and type in the wheels you want. It will tell you how much the wheel will stick out from where it is now.

That's the calculator. Type in what you have and what you want. Just experiment with different width and offsets to find out which one you like best.

Yes, these wheels will fit on a lipped AND flared R33. Remember, you'll need to get the guards flared also, not just lipped. I doubt you'll be able to fit 10" wheels on the front, that would be pushing it a bit, 9.5" would be possible though. 11" on the rear may be possible, but i would just stick with the the 10" rear and 9" front, thats still a pretty decent width.

And yes, lower offset (+11 front, +5 rear) will fit.

If you want to speak to someone who has a workshop that specializes in Nissan guard flaring to fit big wheels, email Neil ([email protected]) from Primal Garage. He'll be able to answer all your questions, and be able to confirm if you'll be able to fit 11" wheels on the back.

Here's a few pics showing of a 10" wheel with +5 offset fitted onto a 180sx, with wheel fitted before guard is flared and pics after flaring with wheel on. Looks phat!

nice! After lots of PM'ing Ive decided to get the Gold GTC's in front- 18x9.5 +17, rear- 18x10.5 +11. I wanted slightly lower offsets but there arnt any available. Still should look good when put on the r33. And seeing that I'll need a new paint job, I've decided on looking for a front and rear bar. ( guess I'll be starting a new thread soon- " what kit to put on my r33".) (oh yeah I already have the skirts thats why not getting new one, their Jun skirts :P

thanks for everyones help, probably would be stuck with 7" rims from Tempe without you guys!

Good to see that you've "seen the light" and decided not to go with the Tempe Tyre wheels. You'll be thanking yourself for getting the Volks in the future and will be disgusted at yourself for even thinking about the 7" wide wheels!!

Make sure you post pics when you get them too!!! Would be good if you took pics like the ones I posted, ie. wheel on car before the guard is flared, then an after pic of wheel on and guard flared.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
