Guys,

Im looking at ordering new wheels soon.

Anyone have experience running 19x10.5 + 12 wheels?

Any rubbing front/rear?

Was also thinking about going 19x11 +12 at the rears. Anyone run this before?

On a R33 GTR??

you want the same all round for that.

10.5+12 will be maximum

ofcoarse you can run any brake size with 19s

I've seen brakes not clear 19's on a r34 gtr, he had to get specific 19's but mostly ran 20's. Dunno what brand of brakes they were but 8 pot fronts and 6 pot rears, set him back around $15k I believe.

R33 GT-R with 18x11's all the way around and 285/30's. . .lowered but not tucking. . .slight rub at full lock when hitting a bump, not cambered to hell either. . .runs like a dream

Offset?

woooooooahhh

thoughts on 18x9.5 +22 front 18x10.5 +30 rear?

been reading through pages and pages but haven't found anyone running 18x10.5 +30 on the rear. will +30 be a problem with the strut or inner guard?

i want to run as close to 0 camber as i can

Hey guys,

I have never been completely happy with how my 18x9.5 +22 rims sit on my car.

So I decided to call up the place who did the wheel alignment and get the specs for the camber that they put on it.

Below are the details

Front Left: -2.27deg

Front Right: -1.14 deg

Rear Left: -1.39deg

Rear Right: -3.69deg

Does this sound right? I always thought 3deg camber was something the fan boys did

I'm questioning if he actually gave me the correct info.

Looking at some whiteline camber arms to help correct this.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
