From looking at your pics I would say it would scrub alot, on a hard corner with good road tyres my car will squat down about 30 - 40mm or more, going from my pics that is.

Im running R33 GTR rims though with 255/40 17 rubber which fit nice inside the guards with only a guard roll.

If you want to keep them I would assume you would need to cut away the guards and fit some wheel flairs/wide body kit.

I also beleive that "wheel poke" is frowned on at track days by the scruits, Im under the impression that the wheels must fit inside the guards.

It will squat but you've also got to remember it will camber in, there's only really one way to find out op. Go for a drive!

There is zero way you will get "camber in" of anywhere near an inch on suspension squat.

swap the rims, you will need a guard flare, and 34gtt guards are fkn hard to flare.

its more trouble than its worth, and you will more than likely get the price you paid for the wheels if you sold them now.

as said above, its whether you want good track(practical) wheels, or the stance side of things..

cant have both.

Points taken.

Im just fishing for reasons why they wont work, and how they can work.

Im obviously inexperienced, and im happy to swap them for functional wheels.

If anyone is interested or knows a potential buyer, they'll be in the for sale section.

Tootles.

If you plan to have dedicated track rims then biggest is not necessarily best. I have 17 x 9 TE37s on my car but for the track Ihave some 17 x 8.5in rims which are the ideal size for the ex NZV8 slicks that I use because they are far better than the semi-slicks I ran before (mind you I have awd).

    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
