Wheel Offset For R33 Gtst

[lee417]

Hi Guys,

i know there is a lot of questions regarding offsets and wheel sizes for skylines, but i'm a newbie and haven't found any r33 gtst with the dimensions below

18x8" offset +40 front

18x9" offset +40 rear

my car is lowered 30mm with king springs, will they fit and will i have to do anything to the guards??

[NYTSKY]

Will fit easy.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

will fit.... wont look great

[Granthem]

The front will sit well in the guard, you should go more width and offset to fill them out abit more

[ARTZ]

....It will look fine

But If you wanna be one of these guys that spend a fortune to get the flush look, even though it provides no great performance benefits,then go for it.

EDIT..i do hope your not running standard shocks with those springs..If not you should spend your money on some good quality shocks before worrying about different wheel offsets.

need wider dude....

+40 will look like a bag of dicks

how do you know what a bag of dicks looks like??

Arent you meant o be on some cruise anyway..

It may not look the greatest but it will still look better than most and i think a good quality set of shocks should be of higher priority if they are not done already..Crappy shocks with hard springs and no tyre sidewall = a pretty crappy and unsafe ride

Why put all this pressure on these kids to make their car look a certain way then grumble when they get pulled over and defected because they spend more money trying to look cool rather than actually enhancing their vehicles performance.

EDIT anyway if your that concerned just stick some spacers on them..

What fortune is needed to get the flush look?

Every set of rims i see with a decent amount offset is up around $1500+

You can get a brand new set of 18/19x10.5+0/12/22 TE37/CE28 reps from USA for less than 1.4k.

there are also drifteks, rotas and advan RS copies for cheap.

not to mention the work emotion range that can be had for $1700

[ARTZ]

Fair enough,Im a poor kent so Im happy with my s/h enkeis for 500$

+38 offset, how much wheels spacer would get them sitting flush? 20mm 25mm..Or would it still look like a bag of dicks?

[PaulosECR33]

r33 gtr wheels (17 x 9 +30 ) have a good fitment in my opinion and fit without any guard rolling...

[ARTZ]

Really, i think the rims he has now would look and fit better..Just add spacers if you want more flush

[PaulosECR33]

i know there is no real standard as everyone like different looks and stuff but thats nice i think.... lol no spacers

and only $850 a few weeks ago on here with tyres..

but as Arthur T3 said just stick spacers in your ones...

Thanks for the feedback guys.. I have replaced the king springs with Tein coilovers just today and the wheel dimensions I put on earlier were for a set of bbs lm replicas.. Does any1 know where I can get a set of lm replicas that will sit more flush?

VarrsToen in the US make BBS LM reps, but they will sit more poke than flush without rolling/flaring/pumping (19x9.5/10.5+0)

Indeed +30 is a good fit. Easy to put 8.5" and 9" + 30 on the back. Even the 350z rims are +30 and +33.

18x9+32 all round. Ran fine without modifying the guards. Only time I got scrapage was on bumpy corners...but a guard roll fixed that, and it's completely related to how low/high your car is. But yeah, as Hamish said...you'll be unhappy with the looks after a while, if you don't get offset and width right straight up. Mine look okay, but I'm now trading my rears for 9.5...will make things look even better without the need for guard flaring.
