R33 Gtst Wheel Space / Offset? (R33 Gtr Wheels)

Would anybody know how centred the standard wheels sit on a GTST?

(Offset is 40)

I mean would I have more space to the inside or outside of the arches?

(considering I'm going to roll the lips)

Inside seems limited by the shocks and outside by the arches.

I'm trying to figure out the best offset/ width for me.

I found some 17'' 9' 30 GTR R33 wheels and am marvelling to go for it or not.

What tyre width would fit nicely on a 9'' wheel without ballooning and still fit?

255, 265)

Thanks!

OK,

Thanks for the answers ... I'm well aware that this been asked a million times but the information is really scattered.

Yep, I did re-search . but just wanted to have possibly a straight answer before I end up buying the wrong tyres.

I read anything from (offset) +35 all round to +20 which sounds odd.

I was going to measure the clearance myself to gain an understanding about which offset to chose (not just for the R33 GTR wheels)

Also I'm still torn between the GTR wheels and 18'' Rota Grid Drift.

Cheers ..

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
