R33 Gts-t Wheel And Tyre Sizes

[OO Skyline OO]

Time to fill my guards with some 17" XT7's or CA Kai''s, sick of the car looking like a wheelbarrow.

What size rim, offset and tyres will best fit without flarring the guards? Any pics? suggestions?

On my 33 GTS25t I've got a set of White Enkei's in 17x9JJ38 (Rear) and 17x8JJ38 (Front) and they fill almost perfectly! My car is pretty low though too.

I think to fill it just a little better, I'd go half a size up on both the front and the rear, but I think the back would probably need flaring if that was the case.

Nice Rims, Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like not many people have wide wheels on their R33's

I've got

18x8.5" + 22 front, 235mm tires

18x9.5" +22 rear, 265mm tires

you'll need to roll/flare your guards for those to fit

Forgot to mention I've got 235's ont he front and 245's on the rear. But I'm planning on upping the rear to 255's (pretty sure they'll fit).

17x8 and 17x9 (gtr offset and size) fit your R33 perfectly

but wouldnt those sizes be illegal? on the RTA website it says you can go 1" wider and 2" bigger from stock. So the R33 GTST wheels are stock 16x6.5? meaning legally you can only go 18x7.5?

I think the wheel restictions for S.A. are that the diameter cant be greater than 15mm from the largest tyresize listed on the tyre placard and that the offset of the rim does not vary by more than 13mm from the original rim.

Looks like 17 X 8 + 25 front and 17 x 9 +35 rear.

You want the "JDM look" but you don't want to flare the guards? To fit some decent wheels you'll need to flare the rears at least a little.

Don't be weak, if your going 17" go 17x9" +17 front and rear. Will fit with ease with stretched tyres and rolled gaurds and a light flare on the rear.

i run 18 x 8.5 +30 & 18x9.5 +30 and with stretched tyres and rolled but not flared guards they just fit

[boostin_r33]

dude if u want the jdm style get 18's but if ya bit tight go with 17's!

in my opinon 18's are the best size for most imports they just suit the car more! you just dont wanna go over board with some 20's!

remember guys it's just my opinon lol

Mate, what suspension setup do you have? That is EXACTLY the ride height I want to have on my 33. Does that clear the legal height limits? Looks fantastic. Well done.

define "jdm" look.

i was running -6 rear and -4 front 17x9 with 215 tires for awhile. got sick of pizza cutter tires, now im +10 17x9 with a 255 tire, all 4 fenders rolled.

youre not going to get the "jdm" look without rolling your fenders. people here do it for 40 bucks a fender with the rolling tool and a heat gun

Hey guys,

I found this googeling around and you can compare the stats of the new wheels you want to put on with the ones you have atm and it tells you how many mm of clearance is taken or given
