Off topic, but i've been recommend to try this by stagefumer11:

"ok this is a easy fix you need to turn down you full lock stopers.

you will find on the lower control arms, on the end. is a adjustment screew when you can adjust the full lock stoppers. if you have a look you will see what i mean. Its a small bolt with a lock nut also. turn these in to turn the lock less.

DO both sides as you can stress you steering rack if they arnt even. Get it pretty close and you will be fine. Also put a layer of grease on to the rubbing points, as going over bumps on full lock can be quite embarrising"

Skyline model = HR31

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8F/9R"

Wheel offset = +30F/+32R

Tyre size = 235/40-F 255/45-R

Stud Patern= 114.3

Modifications to fit = lose the plastic inner guards. (also have 5 stud hubs which alter the offset out about 3mm)

Hey guys, I've got stockers w/225/50/16's. But I Bolted up my mates BBS rims this arvo, may buy them off him. . .

Skyline model = R33 Gts-t

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5"

Wheel offset = +40

Tyre size = 235/40-F 265/35-R

Stud Patern= 5 * 114.3

Modifications to fit = None yet, they seem to rub at full lock on the front, parking etc, and only clear the stock front brake calipers by ~ 2mm, haven't done enough driving on them yet. . .

Anyone see any problems with this size?

I'm surprised they fit at the back to be honest.

Thanks

Interstin... dads 33 has 235/40 wit 8' wide on front and 265/35 wit 9' wide on the rear with no problems at all, gaurds havnt been rolled either... So i cant see any problems? Maybe your offset is slightly different though!

Hey jazza08, they seem ok and only one of the fronts rubs (I only have one inner guard liner), I think the offset is actually the same as the standard wheels, cos they are marked '16*6.5JJR16 40'.

Speaking to another 'Line owner this evening he reckons he used to run ten inches out back . . . No mods. . . B)

Ive seen 265s on a 10' wide rim before in a car mag, never in real life. I doubt 275s would fit with everything standard?

If you take our ur guard liner (i believe our 33 still has them) that may help also! Nothin too much to worry about unless it rubs real hard of course :)

Hey guys,

I am looking at putting a set of 19x8.5" on the front, and 19x9.5" rears on a GTS-T R33... Is this possible with maybe only lippping, or would some more extensive mods need to be made? Is this all the info you would need to answer that question too, or does the offset play a major difference?

If anyone knows I would appreciate the info.

Cheers.

woah! 17X7? I think they were designe for a FWD car like a pulsar or something as even standard R32 GTR wheels are 8 inch wide, and most 17 inch wheels for 32 GTR are 9 inch or 9.5 inch. it must look quite strange with such narrow rims on it. actually from looking at the tyre size are you sure they are 7 inch wide? any pics?

haven't looked at this thread in a while...

hmm, maybe they are 17x9's then...they don't look thin and I don't actually know where I got 17x7 from :). I will try and get a measurement myself if I can.

Hey Cowie, you have Circular wheels :), wow!..... :)

Skyline model = R32 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +14

Tyre size = 245/40 All 4's

Modifications to fit = None. But if i lower it more then i might have to lip the guards

I have seen 17x8's on most 33's in this thread have offsets of 32-36. If a set of 17x8's with an offset of say +45 are fitted to an R33, they would sit further into the guard, right?

Yes but more importantly the spokes would probably not clear the brake calipers at the front of the 33s.

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
