I found it after I posted Ive gon through about 3/4 of it and nothing really suggest that 18x10 +12 will sit inside the guards of r33gtr. I'm working through it from newer to older posts. Someone did suggest that it might be 2mm outside the guards. ??? Still looking

So, seeing as I already gave you the answer I will do this.

If 18x10.5 +15 is a popular size for the gtr folk around here (maybe you should google pics of that setup before you ask a silly question), do you think a 18x10 +12 would sit closer or further from the hub? I suggest you google again before saying "I dont know, thats why I made this thread.

And for roadworthy they wont pass depending on state and dickness level of mechanic.

I'm new to all this mate to go easy ;) I'll have a guess and I would say 18x10 +12 would closer to the guard then a 18x10.5 +15. So was I right and feel free to make me feel stupid.

It should fit. I have +15 on my GTST and it touched the guards. Rolled them and fine. Sure its a little less offset but you have much wider guards.

Also use this calculator for change in speedo http://www.inawise.com/tyre-calculator/tyre-size-calculator.html

I made sure I calculated my tyres and wheels, with new config at 100km/h I'm doing 99.3km/h

I have to amend this as I didnt read correctly.

It would be closer to the hub than a 10.5 +15. FURTHER from the guard.

Are you sure? less +ve is equivalent to more -ve and means wheels stick out more.

I also need to correct something I wrote earlier. Not that I was wrong, just that it wasn't relevant to the thread because I forgot the OP was talking about a GTR.

My calculation came up with that the 18x10.5 +15 will sit 3mm closer to the guards then the 18x10 +12. I'm pretty sure my math is right other wise I'm missing something. ?

    • enjoy the surge of a turbo, it's fun and part of the appeal of these engines. however I always believed that the torque was flat or diminished directly after the spool so that what comes after is of less interest. I am not a specialist in turbo engines, far from it, but to my great surprise I discovered engines whose torque increases after spooling and the pressure (psi) increases  with the revs. like the curves that I post the cams can play a role in this and the use of a boost control also. Can we limit the psi during spooling and increase the boost level with the revs or this type of curve is unpredictable. in other words, can I create this crescendo of torque after spooling voluntarily on any engine, with the right size turbo etc here are the examples
    • Welcome.  There are many similarities and some key differences between the 2. Plenty of information on both in this forum. I hope you find the information you seek.
    • hello everyone, an RB26, or RB25 project in the medium long term. I don't know much about this engine or turbo engines in general, I'm here to understand and gain knowledge. I have specific objectives for a project
