Wheel size/offset for R33 GTS-T

Wheel size/offset for R33 GTS-T

Hi guys,

I know there are a lot of posts about offsets and wheel sizes, but I'm new here and haven't found anything about R33's with the following dimensions:

- 18 x 9 +20 offset (front)

- 18 x 10 +20 offset (rear)

My car is currently sitting on stock suspension. Just wondering if I will need to roll/pump up the guards to fit them (I'm mostly concerned with the rears).

Thanks in advance everyone!

I run 18x9.5 +20 on all 4 corners, front and rear have rolled fenders with no pull at all and I consider this the perfect agressive fitment for a ecr33. 18x10 on the rear will give you not even a 1/4 inch more poke inside and outside of your wheel so I dont see it being a issue! I do have aftermarket suspension but it is not very low.

Don't forget tyres and camber guys...plays a big part in whether the guards will get rubbed going over bumps or when turning the wheel full lock.

I run 18x9+32 all four and had to roll guards. With 235/40 front, 265/35 rear, zero camber, lowered about 10cm off the ground, rolled guards...only scraped the guard liners on full lock so I took them out. With 245/40 all round now I get no scrapes anywhere. So I would say anything equally or more aggressive than I'm running, yes roll guards. Whether you need to flare or not will depend on camber and tyres and ride height and soft/firm suspension.

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
