18" Or 19" Rims

[Nick.]

Hi

Just wondering what you guys think. 18" lmgt4's or 19" on a r33? Pros and cons of the sizes? Lowering issues? or anything that could be usefull.

Cheers

[WOG BOY]

depends what ur uses are......more show or more go?

18's for more performance and 19's for more style and looks!

18's.....

they will still look big.. absorb the bumps better.. tires will be cheaper

[adam-__-]

18's definitely. 19's in that style would look too big in my opinion.

18's would be lighter, therefore car will be slightly faster. 18's would have cheaper tyres, therefore more money in the bank for other modifications.

who cares how big they are, it matters how wide they are

18x9 rear, 18x8 front.

if your going for looks then 19"s deff if you got the money for them and tyres. nothing wrong with 18's as long as their offsets fill the guards. i think 8.5 and 9.5 are good widths depending on offsets.

[adam-__-]

Go for 18x10.5 for the rear and 18x9.5 for the front.

[ULOOOK]

19s will set the car off, i have them on my R33, lowered 3 inches and no scrubbing(i rolled the guards). They ride nice, and tyres are not much dearer than 18's. 19x7.5 are ok for engineering also.

soooo true! try get atleast 255's on the rear probably a 9.5- 10 inch wide rim fronts 8.5-9 235's or wider

Thank guys, whats offset does a r33 hav/need.

[Nick.]

-

[eddieeeee-ro]

at least +35 to clear the front brakes.

+40 will fit the rear.

+29 would look phat

[Nick.]

Whats the 29 for. im real noob at this....like, if i bought 18" lmgt4s what offset on front, and back, to fill the guards

[kralster]

Why would you need 255's??? got aquaplane and tramlining?

[adam-__-]

The clearing of the calipers will depend on the spoke design. You can't rely on the offset to clear it.

Check out the wheel offset thread Sydneykid made. It's pinned so you can't miss it.

There should be a thread recently made in the suspension section or cosmetic section about what you want as well.

if you've got the cash for 19's then definitely go for that

this r33 got 19's and looks the part.

33 with 19's

You haven't said what you want to use the car for at any point. If you only want to use it on the street, and want it to look good, you can go 19's, but I reckon its too big anyway. If you are planning to do any form of motorsport, 18's would be a lot better. Remember, every mod should suit your application.

the use would be daily drive, i think im going 18's, nicer drive, and suits the car more than most 19's (IMO) . also my dad rekons r33's were made when 19's didnt even exist or used much and it dosnt suit the car (thats just one persons oppionion dont take it to heart) when you see like an old hk monaro in 20's it dosnt look right, coz that car was brought out with like 13's
