S1 - 18x9.5 +14 245/40. The front just fits, but the rears are as close to the strut as you can get & are scrubbing pretty hard on the "heavily" rolled guards! (anyone who says they have bigger no worries, is full of it!)

* So a 18x9 +15 to +20 235/40 would be a pretty neat fit!

I'm running 18x8 +35 front. Looks shit and +6 rear and it looks about right but I've only got 235/40r18 tyres so my speedo is severely wrong. Stupid tyre placard being wrong :@. Nice way to waste $1000 on the wrong tyres

235/40/18 is not that far off stock! I was using that size till recently, speedo was not out by much at all (<5kmh @ 100)!

~630mm (+- 3mm) rolling dia is roughly the stock size, 235/40/18 is 645mm (225/40 = 637mm), im now using 245/40/18 which is 653mm & is only slightly out, showing a lower speed on the speedo to actual velocity!

So dont stress too much! :thumbsup:

i notice that there is very little mention when people say "ive got 20x12"s with +18 offset and they're sick as" how how far they sit out the guard or if they still flush and MORE IMPORTANTLY wheather its an AUTO OR MANUAL!

Auto's have a much wider rear track than the fronts, so if you want them both to sit flush WITHOUT SPACERS you will need a low offset front (+20 to+34 would be ok) and a HIGHER offset in the rear (+35 to +42) thus meaning you wont be able to rotate your tyres unless you get them stripped off and fitted to the opposite rims. this is based on a 8-9 inch wide rim, diameter wont affect this. the wider the rim goes the lower the offset will need to be because you'll very quickly run out of room between rim and suspension but have all the room you like outside the guard (within reason). depending on weather you have bigger brakes or coilovers this may also affect the desired offset you want to run.

If you have a MANUAL (factory RS4-S or RS260 and not a conversion) then the track is pretty much identical front to rear and depending on the look your going for anthing from a +18 to a +35 will fit and clear standard suspension. when i got my RS4-S it had 17x8 with a +42 offset, the rears were very clearly fouling the struts (hicas didnt help). now i have 18x8" with a +34 offset. this offset clears everything easily and sits roughly where the standard C34 wheels do. i have plans to have it riding quite low in the future and with this offset i wont be fouling the guards.

according to my C34 tyre placard it says the OE fitment tyre is a 215/50R17 which is a 646.7mm OD, a 235/40R18 is 645.2mm OD which is near identical. My speedo is also out 12-15kms for anything over 100kmh. a 245/40R18 as already brought up will correct for this and is 653mm OD which is less than 7mm larger than the OE fitment tyre and a legal tyre size for a c34 (OZ legal limit is upto 15mm larger and 26mm smaller than largest OE fitment).

(edit: not sure if wider track is on all auto c34 stageas or just auto AWD c34stageas)

@pipster11 = +1

@lilcrash, have you tried swapping your wheels from front to back so instead of the front sitting in and the rears sitting out they both sit flush? (if yours is an auto of course, if not they would be worth selling to an auto owner)

I have a manual and I purchased my rims in those 2 offsets to get the look I want. The fronts are just 10mm further in then the rears. One day I will buy some 10mm spacers but for now I need to find new brake discs that won't warp on the first drive.

being an auto i would run maybe a 20 front and 34 rear, they should close enough to even and pretty much flush with the body. unless someone has the exact measurement for how much wider the rear track is.

correct me if im wrong but i think GTR 17"s are 17x8.5 +25?

Crap I thought GTR wheels were +18 or something close to that...

I actually have a set of staggered 18's that came off of one of my Starions, (with spacers), for a Skyline etc..

but being staggered, the ATTESA will probably have issues with them...

R33 GTR = 17x9 +30

R34 GTR = 18x9 +30

@Dr. J = ive seen people run staggered fitment rims with the same sized tyres front to rear on GTRs and an EVO, not sure if it caused issues but cant see why it would.

@Big Fella = is yours auto or manual?

i may be wrong but i was of the impression that auto= same track front rear and manual= rear 40mm narrower then front. and that is definately how my car appears.

quoting Big Fella: "I'm running 18 x 10 +15s all round, the fronts sit just in the gaurd, and ther rear would hang out with standard camber, running 2.2' seems all good tho"

is your auto or manual? how far did you have to pump your gaurds? what size tyres are you using? also what does 2.2 foot refer too?

The Auto's rear is wider than the front.

Manual's is narrower than the auto's, but I don't know how it compares to the front.

have you got any photos of how your rears sit? 18x9.5+15 would sit nearly the same as mine, just a little further in. is yours auto or manual?

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄

      Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
