Will These Rims Clear My R33 Gt-r Guards?

[God_speed]

Hey guys,

Just after the opinions of anyone who has had experience with fitting rims or tyres of these dimensions.

I've bought some 18x10 +12 GTCs for my R33 GT-R, and before getting tyres I've tried mounting the rims to the rear hubs. They stick out a fair bit - see the pics below - but I've been told with the independent rear suspension they should tuck in under the guards when the car is lowered off the jack.

The car has TEIN coil overs set about 1" below standard ride height. I'm planning to fit 265/35 18 tyres, and really do not want to roll the guards if I can get away with it.

All advice appreciated

Cheers,

Matt

I had 18 x 10 + 18 running 235/40/R18 on my R33 GTR and they cleared the guards no problems, in fact they barely filled the guards but that might have been due to my small tyres

265 is quiet big though, not certain if they will clear or not

Now I'm running 18 x 10 - 1 with 235/40 tyres again and they JUST just under the the front and rear guards. I have just pushed the inner lip up a little bit on the rear guards, front still has guard liners

Just a whole bunch of information, hopefully that gives you a better idea

Thanks abu, this does help mate. 18x10 -1 !! Is that photo of your -1s or +18s? Have you got camber adjustment or any other suspension mods?

hehe na no adjustable arms or anything, just has ZEAL coilovers and slammed. The back can go another 4cm lower but I think I will leave it there, half the tyre is tucked into the guard. Thinking about getting adjustable arms and dialing the camber out for a tighter fit, would look tuff..

Fronts have adjustable camber bushes but I haven't taken it in for an alignment, I am going to get some more neg camber dialed in at the front although I like the way the fitment is at the moment. There set to standard specs

hey mate,

I run Work XD9s 18 x 10 +18 with 275s all around. Easily fit under the gaurds at the back. at the front had light srcubbing to start with but all fine now... The rear is standered hight the front is an inch lower.

Get an alignment soon man. I went from 18x9.5 +30 to 18x9.5 +12's and didnt get an alignment for ~500k's and already noticed camber wear

Thanks for all the advice people... I will let you know how it all goes.

Cheers

Not at the moment man, I am getting the wheels re coated in 2 weeks then I might get a chance to get some pictures

Have no license at the moment so car is just sitting in the garage, most of the interior is stripped while I finish the stereo install but will get some ASAP. It's not get driven for the next 5 months so alignment isn't really a priority but I will get it done.. it drives straight and shit I just wanted to get them to dial some more camber and toe in at the front otherwise its spot on
