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. ?

    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
    • I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
    • Finally had some time after working on other projects to jump back on this thing. Pulled all 4 wheels to check the brakes over and lucked out, only needed to bleed them/change fluid to get everything working!    Took it for its first quick spin (around 2km) up the road and ran great! Sounds like I have a left rear wheel bearing that needs replacing and there’s a shake in the steering wheel but the tires are absolutely junk on this thing and had been sitting flat when I went to first look at the car so we’ll see if that’s the cause.   Tach randomly started working but I notice if my hicas light comes on the tach stops working 🙃 yay for electrical gremlins 
    • Bunnings car park it is! if you buy the kind of dampers with the adjustable top on the strut you can see it, red, purple? So many options.
    • Yeh a meagre benefit, what strut tower brace are you using? Eventually all the suspension and tyres are done and you get to ... meagre benefits. Narrow end of the wedge, all that stuff.
