Hi fellas,

I recently came across an opportunity to buy off a mate a set of black Volk TE37's in 19x9.5+12 all round and plan to run on 275/30/19 tires.

I have heard contrasting views, some saying this offset looks best whereas some suggest 19x10.5+22 is the better, but various people seem to run the 19x9.5+12 more frequent. Can someone please share with me their experiences on a R33 GTR and best tire profile as noticed chunkier profiles look best on a R33 GTR.

It looks good on his R34 GTR, but not sure it will look good on my fatter R33? Just don't want to buy them and regret it!! Please help!! They seem to look ok on 350Z's??

Pictures would be great!!

Thanks.

SM

R33/34 GTR.

19x10.5 +15 or + 12.

Other sizes will work. But size above in 18/19 is best IMO.

Will fill guards the most.

X9.5 +10-20 works as well but will sit in the guards. Noticeably.

best offset would be +12 or +15 but then again that all depends on the size available to you.

i wouldnt go for the 9.5 even tho they do have good offset. id hold out out for atleast 10" wide with the same offset. would look that little bit more aggressive

Thanks mate for the advice. If I were to go for the +9.5, would it still look ok?

Cheers

you could always just put some spacers behind them to push them out that bit more if you are realy worried about it.

if you used say a 12mm spacer that would basically make them 10" wide.

ive only ever had 10.5" wide on my gtr with the 3 sets of rims ive owned so i cant give personal advice on how it would look

So you think 19x9.5+12 with custom 12mm spacer plates would look tough as 19.10.5+12? surely with spacers, it would look just as tough as x10.5 in terms of width, right mate?

Thanks all.

19 x 9.5 +12 will just give you more lip and a tad more concave on the spokes, which will give a more aggressive look on you wheels.

19 x 10.5 +22 will give you better rear traction due to it being a inch wider of tyre but a less aggressive offset.

R33 GTR's have wide rear guards, preferably you run 19 x 10.5 +12 as the stock R33 GTR wheels are 17 x 9 +30 and the look tiny.

But if you got 19 x 10.5 +22, it should still look ok but won't fill out the guards as good as 19 x 10.5 +12.

19 x 10.5 +12 fills out the guards nicely.

Don't bother running spacers and get the correct offset to fill out the guards.

Is it possible to fit 19x11 +5 with 275/30/19 tires all around on a R33GTR with coil overs and standard brembo brakes, the wheels in mind are work Miester S1-3 with r type disk.

What offset is the above GTR running the car in question is the only GTR with miesters on it

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
