9.5" +30 On Front Of 33 Gtst?

[Bennis]

Hello all,

Ill be purchasing my new set of rims in the future for my R33 GTST.

18x9.5 +22 seems very popular for the 33 gtst and I know for sure that it is possible to fit a 265 tyre on the rear with that offset, however I am worried about the front as from what I gather it sits out a bit furthur than the rear.

So my question is, does anyone have any pictures or info regarding a +30 offset with a 9.5" rim on the FRONT of a 33 gtst?

If the +22 sticks out a bit, the 8mm difference with the +30 should keep it in a bit, but I am concerned it may foul on suspension or body parts etc.

Its also a bit strange that I have gone through the countless pages on the wheel fitment thread, and some peoples 9.5" +22 seems flush whilst others seems to hang out a bit. (on 33 gtst). One moment im sure +22 will be fine front and rear and now ive just seen some new photos and im unconvinced again.

DONT want to run stretchy as hell 225/235 tyres. I really wanna run Federal 595 265/35r18 all round.

17x9.5 +38 fit on the front but it touches the top arm on lock, a bit of a spacer might work but id prefer not, im for 9.5 all round too

Zero chance of fitting 18x9.5 +22 with a 265/35r18 on the front.

I was looking into the same fitment for mine. Read a number of posts that the 9.5 +30 will touch the suspension at full lock. I guess you can drive around it, but it was enough to turn me away from the idea.

I ended up going 9 +20 front, and 10 +38 rear (XD9s), and although is good fitment with no hassle, sometimes wish I went with 9.5 +22 all round.

Also for what it's worth, I don't think that the 235 is that stretched on a 9.5. In fact I quite like the shape of the sidewall you get with that fitment.

Anyway, whatever you go with, make sure you post up pics in the fitment thread once done, so we can admire.

Theres a bloke in the 33 thread who has done so with a gtst, which is what inspired me. But im thinking of just going 245 on the front and 265 rear anyway.

Also going to 9.5 +22 as it turns out some 9.5 +30 and higher fit but Varrstoens design does not in +30.

235/40 is the correct size, not 245/40, and they're cheaper.

9.5" +30 is normally said to hit the inside on the front. A RSR 265/35/18 on +22 would be DAMN tight on the rear I'd think it would hit without some decent neg camber.

I ran 18*9.5 all round and they'd scrape on the front with full lock, they ended up ripping out my inner guards too but not sure that would happen to yours..

hey Mark got any photos?

Man I want the new Work CR Kiwami but they only have 18x9.5 +20 (which is a little too much poke I reckon)
