Hey mate,

I have 19s on mine. They are 245/35/19. They fit fine and are apparently legal size on a 33. I was recommended against 265s since they might be that little bit too wide. The bloke i spoke to about it was not 100%, so they might fit.

Good luck! Let us know how they go...

Thanks for your help. I don't think it will be the actual rim size but the width might matter since your's are 245's.. what about 265?

oh i have standard shocks so not sure but if anyone else can helpp would be great!

thanks

They are tyre sizes you quoted not wheel sizes they will fit or not fit depending on the offset of your wheels

235 40 18 front 265 35 18 rear fit fine on mine but 255 35 17 on different wheels fouled the rear suspension.....depends entirely on your wheel offset

I am going to be purchasing some wheel and the size are:

Front : 235 35 18

Rear : 265 35 18

Can these wheels fit R33 GTST without rolling the guards?

I've got 18x8s (offset +38) all round with 235/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear and everything is a perfect fit. I'm actually a little annoyed that I didnt go the 265s.

i've got 17x10 inch rims at the back and they definitely fit. 17 x 9 inch at the front, also fit no probs. The rear just misses the caliper and also misses the guards. My guards have not been rolled.

As said above, 2xx is the tyre width, not the wheel width. I am currently running stretched 255 rubber at the back. Nice and firm tyre wall

thanks for all the reply and help guys. much appreciated. sorry for my noobness when it

comes to rims. had a look at this site:

http://www.driverstechnology.co.uk/Tyre_si...size_coding.htm

and was wondering wouldn't 265 rear on R33 GTST will scrape the guards? 35 is the profile if i am correct? ;):rofl:

it all depends on offset. You have to find a balance between scraping the brake caliper and the guard. Get one that fits properly, and 265 should fit easily. Like i said, i've got 10 " wheels. If i was not using stretched rubber, who knows what the recommended rubber is, 285? easily fits

legal once/if you get them engineered :D

Depends on the state the car is registered in though... Some allow you two wheel sizes, others only care about offset (and increase/decreasing the track width), etc. Check with your licensing authority.

thanks for the continual help guys. so I guess the wheels im gettng Front : 235 35 18

Rear : 265 35 18 will fit on a R33 GTST :D

thanks!

We don't seem to be connecting with you??? You STILL have not quoted the offsets on the wheels you'r getting....so....on the info you have actually given us your wheels MAY or MAY NOT fit!!! it depends entirely on what the offsets of those particular wheels are. :headspin:

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
