Anyone know whether a set of 18 x 9.5 +20 wheels would fit on a 33 GTS-t coupe, front & rear?

Just want to make sure that there would be clearance all round.

Cheers

Had 18x9.5+22 on the rear of mine, 265 tires, fair bit of guard flaring was needed to fit em...

18x8.5 +22 on the front fit flush with 235's, scrubbing the plastic guard liners on full lock/big bumps.

Pics in the thread in my signature.

I've got 18 x 9 +23 up front, and a 18 x 9.5+18 on the back. 235's and 245's respectively. Fronts fit without any mods, sit just in but pretty flush. Rears have been flared a fair bit, but probably would have got away with a slight pump and more camber/skinnier tyre. I just didn't want the rim sticking out too much, too much police attention for a daily.

there is a thread with this info.

will be very agressive fitment

18 x 9 +30 with 225/40 also got 25mm spacer to clear brakes so makes it about +5 sticks out quite alot.

18 x 10 +20 with 235/40

i had to roll guards front and back to stop scrubbing if you dont stretch tyres it wont be fun if your lowered

nisskid is best to ask for this stuff :bunny:

Cheers guys, yeah nisskid I thought that may be the case. Should clear the standard brakes ok, and not rub on the suspension? Also what's a reasonably stretched tyre size to fit on an 18 x 9.5 wheel?

A few of you say guard flaring, do you mean rolling?

i wouldnt go smaller than a 215/40.

it will clear suspension, brake clearance depends on disk height

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
