Does anyone have 19 inch wheels on their GTST R33?????

I am currently deciding weather or not to get 19 or 18 inch by 8 inch wide wheels and want to know if they will fit under the guards????

Also does anyone know if you can engineer(in NSW) 19 inch wheels on a GTST R33???

Any comments?????

Thanks

Brendan

20's on a 33 gtst will not fit, you would have to modify the controll arms, etc.

I have 19's on mine, the tyes rub on the gaurd liners but not the gaurds. Be prepared to loose a little low end torque and some preformance, due to the bigger rolling diameter and heavier weight. On the up side, the gaurds are NICELY filled and the car looks lower than it actually is.

If i was to make a choice again, with my experiences with 19's, i would honestly go 18x8 at the front and 18x9 on the rears. Just less hassles and better performance.

PS: my wheels are 19x8 all round with f:245/35/19 and r:275/30/19

pps: the only reason track guys use 17's instead of 18's is purely a financial issue when buying rubber. I also have a track set of 17's wheel for the track :)

i had this choice when i was choosing diameter. I eventually went with 18 because of 1) price - tyres were expensive on 19's and 2) performance - i didnt want to comprise it for looks. My rims are f)18x8.5 r)18x9.5 - rears are filled perfectly. There is no hassle with camber/control arms scrubbing and if you want to make it look good than all that is needed is lowering.

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
