Hey guys,

I have D1R's on my car and am thinking of selling the front 18x9s and putting the rear 18x10 +22 wheels on the front and then going for a new pair for the rear in a wider offset.

My question is, will i have any issues running 18x10 +22's on the front of my car? Im not worried about tires rubbing guards or any of that, im wondering whether i will have any problems with the inside of the wheel rubbing anything like my steering arms etc...

If you have an R33 GTST with 10inch fronts please advise!

Much appreciated.

what are the offset on the 9" you're taking off the front?

get under the car and check their current internal clearance then use the wheel offset calc to work out how much further in the 18x10 wheel's inside face should sit. this is obviously ignoring what is going on with the outer face and guard, and will really only give you a basic idea of whether it will work or not.

or even better.... seeing as tho you already have the 18x10 on the rear, why wouldnt you just trial fit and see how it goes...?

Yeah ill be trial fitting them on one of these days.

Well im running 3 or 3.5 degrees negative camber on the front plus i will have stretched 235/40's on the 10s... so i think the very top of the wheel will be sitting at pretty much the same spot it is now with the non stretched 235s on the 18x9s +15 offset.

Last time i move a topic of yours to the correct area.

5th time in as many months.

If you cannot take the time to post the thread in the correct section, it will be locked and posting rights removed.

Creating work for Admin because you 'cbfd' is not a good reason either.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
