Can anyone confirm if 18x9.5+32 front and 18x10.5+38 rear wheels will fit an 1996 r33 gtst without any modifications, are these the widest you can go before you have to flare guards? if so how much wider can you go..

maybe wheel spacers?

cheers

That should be a completely safe fitment. Should sit inside the guards (for legality issuess) and shouldn't have any scrub issues, especially staying stock height. Run 235/40 fronts and 255/40 rears just to be sure. Make sure you post pics when you are done :)

hells no.

That will hit the rear guard lip and rub the front guards without doubt. Would need lots of camber and guard rolling to fit.

Will not be legal.

you are both wrong... lol

if you want low you will need to pull the guards a little for those sizes... but not much

and you wont need epic camber.

reference the pics at the top of this page

yeah i was looking at the 33 at the top, but i want to go for the out of the guard look, what will it be involved in doing that and fitting the new pair of ssr i just bought 18x9.5+32 and 18x10.5+38

hells no.

I am going to debate this..

If his car has no modifications then the stock height plus the small amount of stretch he will be putting on the tyres will miss the rear guard lip. I have 10.5+30 on the rear and if I raised my car I wouldn't need guard rolling at all. The only reason this fitment is illegal is because he will be running two different sized rims.

by that token if you raised your car it would stick out a bit too... remember they tuck in when lowererd

and becasue they are 18's

and because they are 10.5's

and becasue of the track increase

lol

who cares if it's legal... legal rims always look shitty

i figured some people just say it fits but they wouldnt do that to their cars. If it possible people should try test fitting and seeing if its possible or trust those with pics otherwise man you could serioslu get some bad offsets which you cant return.

17 x 8 + 5 front 205 tyre

17 x 10 + 5 rear 235 tyre

For show.

yes it gts

17 x 9 +30 with 235 front and 255 rear for race but no pic

r33 s2 to fill the guards evenly do you go same size wheels all round. Or how much wider on the rear hypothetically if running similar camber.

planning to go 18 x 9 +21 front and 18 x 10 either +33 or +26 rear. Would prefer to go a little lower in offset but next up is 18 x 9 +9 which i think will be a reasonable effort to make fit and not scrub (ride height approx 335mm eyebrow)

Cheers

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
