Hi guys im considering a new pair of rims. I need to know if these will fit my r33 GTST series 1. Ive got Bilstein suspension fully adjustable coil overs. Im a bit of a noob and dont understand all the concepts of offset and so on. So here are the specs atm. I have 17" Advan rims lowered that they barely clear. I understand i will need to raid it a little. SO here are the specs of the new rims

Volk Te37 Reps 9.5" +20

18" x 9.5"

+ 20 Offset all round

5x114.3

SPORTS BRONZE

hub bore 73

hubcentric spacers to make that 66?

Tyres are.

245/40R18

275/40R18

So looking at this i do want my rear to hang out a little i love the look and its really tough. Any help would be great.

Sid

What brand reps are they? Just get the Varrstoen reps, then you don't have to mess with hubcentric rings (not spacers). Also that's a lot of meat to fit under the fenders... you'll probably need to use thinner tyres. I run a 235 on my 9.5" wheel.

+25 is probably ideal offset.

+30 I had to grind away my upper control arms a tad to get full lock, but all good

+20 will get your tyres too close to the guards, scrub issues I think, even with rolling

if you're buying new, wheel supplier should give you hubcentric rings to suit,otherwise they'll already be knocked in

With the plastic guard liners, only cut away a small area that's required as opposed to removing the whole thing.

Keep that water away as much as possible, looms will get soaked and she might start rusting in areas you can't see. :thumbsup:

    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.  
    • Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.     
    • @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
