Hi All,

I know that everyone is sick of seeing people ask what will fit on their car, and yes, I've read through the Wheel Offset guide and the 'Real life' fitment thread.

The only problem is, is that I have a 1% negative feeling that makes throwing a lot of money at rims so very difficult.

Could someone please let me know whether any of these 2 sizes below will fit an R33 Series 2 GTST WITHOUT using spacers:

18 x 8 +36 (front)

18 x 9 +35 (rear)

--And--

18 x 8 +36 (front)

18 x 9 +36 (rear)

Thanks heaps if you can guys, again, sorry for this post as i know everyone is tired of them. I'm more tired of wasting money on incorrect parts.

they will fit without any issues. they only issue you may have is dependant on the design of the spokes. if the spokes are stright u may find that it just touches the calipers. sinething with a slight curve is best

GT-C's are f**kin expensive brand new. I know where you're coming from when you say you don't want to spend heaps of cash on wheels that don't fit.

With the disk type, you can look at the raysengineering site and they should have a list of different face designs. It ranges from I think it was H for high, M medium and L for low. The lower one would give you the most dish, but less brake clearance, higher face type, more for brake clearance. The list should also tell you if they'll clear the 4 pot brakes. From what I can remember, it was M for the front and L for the rears and they'll fit, BUT make sure for yourself or email them.

Good luck with it and post up some pics when they arrive.

Cheers

Thanks Adam,

The GT-Cs are second hand but barely a scratch on them..

They have the numbers on the back stamped:

18 x 8.0 J (A-E) of. +36 PCD114.3 5H GL

18 x 9.0 J (C-O) of. +35 PCD114.3 5H GL

So judging by your explanation of the letter H, M and L; I have either H (5H) or L (GL) which puts me back where I was..confused.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
