Anyone With 10.5in Wide Rims On An R33 Gtr?

[QIK_GTR]

Basic, simple question to anyone running 10.5in wide rims on their R33 GTR's.

what offset do you have and are you satisfied with how they fit, sit in the guard, flush with the guard and no rubbing or scrubbing?

there is a 33 GTR that goes to allstar a bit, with 18x11 enkei rims on fit under the guards nice.. not sure on offset though..

Actually, he is on here, might give him a PM.

Thanks for reminding me Jamie, getting ready to upgrade from the TE37's I think.....just getting all my facts straight before I outlay many thousands on some quality wheels!

I have 18 x 10.5in Veilside rims on my 33 GTR. They came with the car. Not sure of the offset but the back is larger than the front and there are 5mm spacers on the front also. I'm currently running 275/35 R18 rubber on them and the side walls are stretched slightly.I don't have any problems with scrubbing.

[QIK_GTR]

hmmm might settle with the 9.5 +12 as I know they fit with the 18s on the car now.....just that its going to be an 8 week wait....can get 10.5 +22's now, but I'm being told they won't fit by a few different people.

im going 20x11.5 -5mm offset

on the rear of my 32 with GTR guards

its gonna sit right out, maybe 2mm outside the guard but with some stretched tyres and camber it should sit perfectly

dont be soft

Upgrade from yoiur te37's!!! is there such a thing! i would die for some te37's. They look awesome on your gtr, white on purple looks very nice. What would you like instead? If you have your te37's still nest yr i will be keen to buy them off you..

[QIK_GTR]

it is an upgrade, lighter wheel, same brand, bit bigger, bit wider....always been a fan of what I'm getting, the colour is darker so less cleaning hassles. The TE37s are awesome wheels and the white does look great, but for a semi-daily driver it blows keeping them clean, and I'm sure Noy will agree with that! Dunno what to do with them yet, they need a bit of a touch up here and there, but nothing major!

New ones should arrive next week, I went with the 10.5+22 so we'll see how it goes!

18x10.5 +22 should fit with ease on a 33gtr, they have the widest guards of all! .. i fit 18x10 +20 with 265/35 of my 32r with no problems

[ferni]

They will fit easily...

Who makes 18x10.5 +22?

I run 18x10.5" +18 RE30's on my R33 GTR. No problems. I run 265 RE55's on them, but Ant has the same wheels on his 33GTR and ran 285' RE55's on them.

TE37 and LMGT4 are 18x10.5" +15 and they still fit.

[QIK_GTR]

sorry, I never mentioned 18s, the newies will be 19x10.5 +22 with 275/30/19

Any pics of yours Ferni, and Ants? Just to see how 10.5's look, also I really like the RE30's would have gotten them if they were available in 19s!

so your gonna be running 275 all round? no probs with the front that wide?

[QIK_GTR]

they are 275/35/18 on it now, all round, only minor rubbing on full lock, doing a uturn at a decent speed.

Interesting....as Ferni said I have had 285 x 35 x 18 RE55 on my 18 x 10.5 wide rims with no rubbing what so ever. Keep in mind that is RE55's which I believe are slightly wider than normal road rubber.

My RE30's are same size and offset as Ferni's....

[QIK_GTR]

NICE! Height might have a slight difference, yours to mine, that may have an impact on rubbing.....but its only a very, very light rub on full lock....nothing harsh!

[Beer Baron]

should be fine. I had a 18X10.5 +18 on my 33 GTR. running smallish tyres though, 255s all round but no problems with that set-up at all.

[ferni]

Sorry i just assumed 18". Shouldn't make a difference being 19" since the tyre profile will be smaller to make it the same rolling diam.

Depends on your suspension geometry a bit as well if it will scrub or not. You may get a bit of rubbing on full lock at the front, but nothing to worry about. Rear you may need to get the guards rolled.

As Ant said, RE55 are a VERY wide tyre.. a 265 RE55 is more like a 275... so the 285 will be over 290...

[KISIN]

i think that 11" is the perfect width for 33 GTRs ?

19 x 11 with low offset and bobs ur uncle !

[Noy]

yeah i got sick of cleaning those white TE37's. the wheels on Ants 33 look good.. bronze or a dark colour would suit the midnight purple too.

[QIK_GTR]

I can see why....a good detail and some very minor touch-ups once they are off and they should come up nice, probably sell them to get some money back on the 19s, be great road or track wheels for someone!

Got the new wheels on Friday, and I reckon the bronze will look great with the purple and be alot easier to keep clean, they'll never look dirty....unfortunately the tyres I want are a 4-5week wait which I don't think I can cope with, so I might settle for a 265 rather than the 275, slight stretched look which will be fine.....undecided yet!
